Northstar Digital Literacy tests your computer skills. You can build skills in key areas, and demonstrate your knowledge by earning certificates and badges.
To sign up as a Northstar learner and keep track of your progress, use your name and email address to set up a learner account online.
The free set of assessments includes self-guided modules:
Closed-captioning is available and screen readers are supported.
Want help getting started? Library staff can help you create a learner account or you can make an appointment with a Digital Navigator.
If you would like to earn a certificate for a test that you’ve passed in your learner account, you can request to retake the test with proctor. Email techhelp@aclib.org or phone 509-758-5454 for proctor information.
