This course covers computing technology and concepts, and develops skills applying personal computers. Topics include hardware and software terminology, applications of word processing, spreadsheet, file management and presentation graphics. It also considers the ethical, legal and social concerns of computers in society. A hands-on laboratory is integrated with the course, although students are encouraged to acquire their own personal computer.
