One of the main tasks of up-to-date informatics is developing interactive computer presentations of all familiar real and virtual objects to offer the user the opportunity to master them safely and effectively before real treating.
If such computer presentation does not depend on the user鈥檚 knowledge and skills on similar objects then it is said to be independent. Such computer presentations are more effective because the user becomes proficient in the object, immediately, without references to other objects in mind.

The purpose of this course is developing independent presentations and complex examinations on languages and other objects to be dispensed freely for advertising AUCA.
