I began using windows 7 recently. Included is a module (?) called "Silverlight". What is it used for and how does one learn how to use it?

Silverlight is just another framework for developing web and mobile applications based on .Net.

Silverlight is a powerful development tool for creating engaging, interactive user experiences for Web and mobile applications. Silverlight is a free plug-in, powered by the .NET framework and compatible with multiple browsers, devices and operating systems, bringing a new level of interactivity wherever the Web works.

 

I personally haven't used Silverlight, but you can read about it and download the necessary SDK and tools here:
