An introduction to computers and the World Wide Web.
Students learn to search, access, and critically evaluate information available on the Internet.
Topics include an exploration of copyright, privacy, and security issues of digital data and electronic communications, together with the basic computer science underpinnings of these issues. Students use HTML and other authoring tools to maintain a web-published portfolio of their internet research. Students with significant computing and internet experience should consider 110 or 111. No prior background with computers is expected. This course will use the Internet as a domain to explore fundamental concepts in computer science.
