TEC Technology Courses at Global Campus

This course will help students gain knowledge and skills required for achieving computer and digital literacy in the twenty-first century and introduce students to information technology in three levels: basic understanding; practical applications; and implications for their lives, world, and future. Students will use operating system software, the Internet, and productivity software (word processing, spreadsheet, presentation graphics, etc.).

This course is designed to prepare students for their degree program path. The Fundamentals of Information Technology and Literacy course covers concepts to enable fluency in Information Technology (IT), a fluency that the National Research Council (NRC) considers an important component of the life-long learning process. This course includes a review of basic concepts needed for the program, including topics such as operating systems and computer components, hardware and software, basics of database, programming and system design, and other concepts that encourage critical thinking. Course materials are aligned with the CompTIA IT Fundamentals and encourages students that so desire to take the CompTIA IT Fundamentals certification exam.
