Information technology fluency at a liberal arts college: experience with implementation and assessment
John Paul Dougherty · Journal of computing sciences in colleges · 2003
As information technology (IT) tools continue their rapid rate of change, students need to understand concepts as well as acquire current skills at a comparable rate. In other words, they must be fluent with IT. Various approaches have been suggested to increase the degree of IT fluency for undergraduates, particularly noncomputing majors. This paper outlines the goals, motivations and results of extending an existing computing survey course to include the topic of IT fluency explicitly via a case study in economics.
