Intermediate Information Processing. Curriculum Improvement Project. Region II.

This course curriculum is intended for community college instructors and administrators to use in implementing an intermediate information processing course. A student's course syllabus provides this information: credit hours, catalog description, prerequisites, required texts, instructional process, objectives, student evaluation, and class schedule. A student lab guide is divided into six units. For each lesson within a unit, these materials are provided: objectives, a list of learning activities, information sheets, and exercises. Unit topics are database management, electronic spreadsheets, desktop management software, local area networks, electronic mail, and technical reports. The instructor's course syllabus outlines prerequisites, required tests, references, required equipment and materials, instructional process, and student evaluation. Competency statements and a course outline are included. The instructor's guide presents this information for each unit: contents, objectives, required equipment and materials, procedures, learning activities, evaluation, and answer keys. (YLB)
