1 CEU Preparation for students who prefer to satisfy their computer literacy requirement by becoming Internet and Computing Core Certification (IC3) certified and who wish to take a rapid review in preparation for testing. Designed to be taken instead of enrolling in CIS 1010, or upon advice after screening on the first day of CIS 1010. Also recommended for any student, including those who have already taken CIS 1010, who wishes to prepare for taking the IC3 exams. Students overview the IC3 objectives and procedures, as well as rapidly reviewing concepts from the three areas covered in the IC3 exams: computer fundamentals, key applications, and living online. The course will reflect the latest updates on the current exams. (Note: will not satisfy program concentration requirement in CIS-related curricula. At least part of the course will be conducted online.)

3 Credits CL (CyberWATCH common course equivalent: CW 120.) Computer literacy is a survey course in evolving computer technology and its relevance to individuals and society. The societal issues stressed include: privacy, security, ergonomics, accessibility, intellectual property, pervasive computing, as well as other timely topics such as new laws impacting computer use. Becoming fluent in necessary technology applications is integrated into the course and may include such topics as word processing, use of e-mail and Web browsers, spreadsheets, distance learning platforms and others. Students possessing skills and knowledge in this area may receive credit for CIS 1010 by passing the department's challenge exam (currently the 3 Internet and Computing Core Certification tests, known as IC3) at the college's Assessment Center. Students who are already IC3 certified may receive credit for CIS 1010 by presenting their three certificates to the transfer evaluator in the Office of Admissions and Records. (Note: CIS 0990, "IC3 Test Preparation," is available as a testpreparation course. Students with little or no computer experience should consider taking CIS 1000 Using a Personal Computer, to get the necessary prerequisite skills. All students take a screening test during their first class in CIS 1010. Results are used to advise students regarding which course to take.) Prerequisite: Reading proficiency. 3 class hours with open lab. (Honors version available.)
