Course description
This course provides students with the skills necessary to access, create, collaborate on and communicate electronic information. Students will create and publish information through an exploration of common types of application packages, such as word-processors, spreadsheets, visualization software and web browsers. Both enterprise and open source software will be covered. Students will learn to use the web environment to manage and manipulate information, to discern information sources and their quality, to choose between suitable software alternatives and to work collaboratively within such an environment.
