Practically everyone needs an email account these days, and this course is an introduction to all the things you need to know about creating and using one. Based on the Gmail system, the skill set is transferable to any email provider. 

Google changes the process used to create accounts from time to time. Currently, if you use the CAPTCHA there doesn't seem to be a requirement for a verification number. However, Google may limit the number of accounts that you can create from a single IP address, so we recommend that when possible students create an account prior to coming or that instructors have dummy accounts that they can use for instructional purposes. All email providers are similar and change their requirements at will.
