Introduction to Computers
From Wikiversity
[edit] IntroductionThis course is an introduction for non-computer science students (see Introduction to Computer Science for computer science students). Instead this course is a gentler, lighter survey course without delving too much into technical details. It will also examine computers from the perspective on how they influence society. |
[edit] Lessons
The lessons contain relatively little text, plenty of images and many podcasts prepared by students in which they talk about a particular topic within each lesson. Most of the lessons are framed around concepts from the world of computers, and each section of the lesson explains these concepts with text, images and sometimes a podcast. This reflects the gentle and introductory nature of this course.

[edit] Things to do in this project
- Many of the pages need breaking up into smaller subpages. This has already been done with the introduction.
- Some wikification and tidying is needed.
- The links to the Eyespot student podcasts sometimes need correcting.
- Occasionally there are stub sections needing completion.
