COURSE OBJECTIVES – EXPECTED STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:
The course objectives should integrate with the assignments, course content, and methods of evaluation. State the objectives of
the course - that is, what students will have learned upon successfully completing this course. Objectives should use active verbs
for observable behaviors. They must establish that critical thinking is an integral part of the course. Formulate some of them in
terms of specific measurable student accomplishments, e.g., specific knowledge and/or skills that the student will have attained as
a result of her/his having completed this course. Please see last page for Verbs For Stating Behavioral Objectives examples.
Upon successful completion of this course, the students will be able to:
1. Identify current basic computer hardware and software using appropriate terminology.
2. Employ correct operation and care procedures of computer related hardware (e.g.,
cleaning input devices, avoiding proximity to magnets, proper startup and shutdown
sequences, scanning for viruses, and formatting storage media).
3. Implement basic troubleshooting techniques for computer systems and related
peripheral devices (e.g., checking the connections, isolating the problem components,
distinguishing between software and hardware problems) before accessing the
appropriate avenue of technical support.
4. Integrate knowledge and understanding of the legal and ethical issues concerned with
the use of computer-based technology into educational practice.
5. Use computer applications to manage records (e.g., grade book, attendance, and
assessment records).
6. Use computers to communicate through printed media (e.g., newsletters incorporating
graphics and charts, course descriptions, and student reports).
7. Is familiar with a variety of computer-based communication tools (e.g., email, threaded
discussion groups, newsgroups, list servers, online chat, and audio/video conferences).
8. Examine a variety of current educational digital media and use established selection
criteria to evaluate materials, for example, multimedia, internet resources,
telecommunications, computer-assisted instruction, and productivity and presentation
tools.
9. Prepare educational media using electronic research tools (e.g., access the internet to
search for and retrieve information).
10. Demonstrate the ability to assess the authenticity, reliability, and bias of the data
gathered.
11. Demonstrate an ability to create and maintain effective learning environments using
computer-based technology.
12. Compile materials on copyright issues and appropriately implement them (e.g.,
distribution of copyrighted materials and proper citing of sources).
13. Examine and critique methods of communication and data storage for privacy,
security, and safety standards (e.g., appropriate use of chatrooms, confidentiality of
records including graded student work, publishing names and pictures of minors, and
acceptable use policies).
COURSE CONTENT/OUTLINE:
The course content is not a syllabus; rather, it should represent only those topics that all instructors of the course must cover.
Include a complete listing of the topics taught in this course. Arrange by major headings with subtopics. The course content
should integrate with the assignments, course objectives, and methods of evaluation .

METHODS of EVALUATION:
These methods of evaluation should integrate with the course content, course objectives, and assignments. The evaluation must
clearly show that critical thinking skills are required. Statements in this section should clearly show the basis for grading. For
example, “term paper shows topic coverage, basis of comparison, and critical analysis.”
1. Students demonstrate mastery of basic computer care, information, operation and
navigation through a hands-on test. (Objectives 1, 2, 3)
2. Students use appropriate methods that meet all legal and ethical standards when
compiling media (Objective 4, 12)
3. Students develop a spreadsheet to manage and graphically display student
information such as grades, including formatting, calculations, lookup tables, and other
spreadsheet function (Objective 5)
4. Students design a simple two-table database to manage and retrieve student
information through query and mail merge functions. (Objective 5)
5. Students create a document demonstrating multiple features of word processing such
as Header/Footers, Text Boxes, varied text orientation, graphics, etc. (Objective 6)
6. Students evaluate and critique Web resources for quality, validity, reliability, and share
information via online communication tools such as email, discussion boards, live chat,
etc. (Objective 7, 8, 10, 13)
7. Students create and present a multimedia presentation including a variety of media
formats, hyperlinks, transitions, etc. (Objective 9, 11)
8. Students collect digital images using scanners and digital cameras and then
manipulate the images (size, effect, cropping, etc.) using software programs. (Objective 9)
9. Students design and develop a multiple page Web site incorporating text, images, and
