Hello! This is human-I-T, the nonprofit working on bridging the digital divide. We received your request to take part in our free computer course and are very excited for you to be a part of the human-I-T Include program. Here are a few steps to help you sign on and get started on your computer course:
Step 1: Turning on your computer
Before we can get logged into your account and begin the Digital Literacy program, we need to turn on your computer! All computers, either desktop or laptop, have a power button that looks like this:
The location of this button varies depending on the type of computer you may have.

For desktops, it is located on the tower:
For a laptop or Chromebook, it is located on the top right corner of the keyboard.
For some Chromebooks, the power button may be on the side of the computer.
Once you have found the power button on your computer, push it! Once pressed, it will light up and your computer will startup.
Step 2: Getting to the Browser
Now that you have turned on your computer, the next step is opening the internet browser.
There are a few different internet browsers on different computers. Here are the most popular internet browsers used:
The browser(s) can be located either on the taskbar or the desktop.
Windows 10 Desktop:
Macs Dock:
Chromebook:
Once you have located your browser of choice, click on it & the browser will open.
Step 3: Getting on to human-I-T Include & signing in
Now that you have opened your internet browser, the next step is to go to the human-I-T Include website and sign in to your digital literacy course.
On the open browser page, on the very top, you will see a search bar. This is where we will type in the website: include.human-i-t.org.
Once you have typed the website address in the search bar, click “Enter” on your keyboard. It will automatically redirect you to the website. It should look like this:
The next step will be to sign in to your account!
On the right-hand side of the webpage, you will find a box that will give you access to the course. Here you will type in your:
- Username: The email address you provided us with
- One-time Password: smarthuman
- Click Log in
Step 4: Resetting passwords
After you have successfully logged in to your account for the first time, the website is going to ask you to reset your password. This password needs to have:
- At least 8 characters—the more characters, the better
- A mixture of both uppercase and lowercase letters
- A mixture of letters and numbers
- Inclusion of at least one special character [e.g., ! @ # ?]
*Make sure the password is something you can remember. If you feel like you will forget it, write it down on a piece of paper with your username. Then put the paper away in a safe, secure place that only you know about.
Click Save changes.
Step 5: Take the website tour
Once you have reset your password, the site will redirect to a new page telling you have successfully changed your password. Click “Continue”.
You will then be able to take the Website Tour!
This page should look like this:
Once you complete the tour, you can start your course.
Good luck!
