We are currently in the middle of an 'Information Revolution' and virtually all job occupations have a requirement for computer literacy. The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to computer information systems with an emphasis on the hardware, software and basic Microsoft Windows XP knowledge (file management-maintaining storage locations, backups, etc.) and to give students a basic knowledge of Excel 2007. As with all areas of specialization, a great deal of terminology (new words) must be understood for the employee to be able to function properly in the field. This course will provide most of that terminology along with the basic concepts of computer input devices, processing concepts, and output devices.
Students will also be introduced to the Internet and web pages through the use of the course Blackboard site. Because of the dynamic nature of the computer industry, students will be expected to read copies of trade newspapers such as 'Toronto Computes' (free in many computer stores) and/or the Toronto Star and/or Toronto Sun (Business section), and the Internet for the latest new computer information, devices and software. Information from these media in addition to Internet Web sites will be discussed in class. As well, extensive use of the textbook Internet course Website (www.emcp.net/CUT3e) and College course teacher's Website (mycourses.humber.ca) will be expected.
