Computer Literacy Today
• Computer Concepts?• Microsoft Windows?• Microsoft Office?• Web/Email?
Do incoming students already know these topics and have these skills?
What is relevant?
A recent IDC study reveals that the top two skills employers look for in new hires are oral and written communication and Microsoft Office.

AXIOM #1The “Intro Course” will be relevant for students today so long as:1. it addresses contemporary skills
and content2. it challenges the majority of the
students.

One approach
Goal: Exposure to CS & Programming
1999 2016
• NSF Grant $5.2 Million• A new course under
development that seeks to broaden participation in computing and computer science
• Course to launch in Fall 2016• AP exam in May 2017• http://www.csprinciples.org/
Very different goal from computer literacy.
• National Research Council• Teaches three kinds of
knowledge: intellectual capabilities, foundational concepts, and skills that are essential for fluency with IT.

Competent use of a discipline-useful software package
The ability to perform simple transactions using the Web/Internet
Associated with each major is a required course(s) that provides instruction in the discipline-specific computer skills, and students passing this course(s) with a grade of “C–” or better will be considered to have completed the requirement.

Another approach
Goal: Advanced Skills in Major SACSACCREDITED

It’s not justwhat we teach, it’s alsohow we teach it.

Talkin’ about the iGeneration
“From iPods to smartphones to Facebook, today’s youth are more
plugged in than ever before, and it’s increasingly clear that they do not
respond to traditional teaching methods – textbooks and lectures – in
the same way as previous generations.” http://www.csudh.edu/psych/lrosen.htm
RELEVANCE!
