Computer hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system. These components include the central processing unit (CPU), motherboard, memory (RAM), storage devices, input devices (such as a keyboard and mouse), output devices (such as a monitor and printer), and other peripheral devices such as a graphics card, sound card, and network adapters. A computer network is a group of interconnected computers and other devices that can communicate with each other and share resources such as data, files, printers, and internet connections. The primary purpose of a computer network is to enable communication and data exchange among multiple devices, including computers, servers, routers, and switches.

This course is intended to be an introduction to computer hardware, networks and the internet. You’ll go through a series of bite sized lectures followed by various quizzes and assignments to test your knowledge

We recommend you get yourself a copy of the course textbook “Exploring Computer Hardware”. You should also get yourself a copy of the computer jargon glossary. Links below.
