Abstract

Recent advances in Internet technology such as broadband access in the home have prompted a reconsideration of what a computer literacy course ought to be. We conducted a course where, similar to a university committee, students considered the question. Student committees reviewed relevant literature and standards, constructed syllabi, and designed and administered assignments. We present results and observations from the course. In addition to recommendations students consider valuable, we provide insights into how a course might be designed to evolve.
