Inside the Machine: Operating Systems & Utility Software

A comprehensive interactive module for SMA students covering how Operating Systems work and the role of Utility Software. It explains the OS's six core functions (Process, Memory, File System, Device, User Interface, and Security Management) through an interactive tab explorer, a step-by-step boot process walkthrough, a live CPU multitasking simulator, and a hands-on RAM allocation demo. It then covers eight types of utility software (antivirus, disk cleanup, backup, compression, and more), with a sorting game to distinguish core OS functions from utility tools, a symptom-to-tool diagnostic matching game, a technical vocabulary matching game, and a final 8-question quiz.
