Short Description

Join this Dynamic Duo from (GPC) Dunwoody as we discuss the history and current state of a one-hour computer literacy/research course. The course has evolved from its early days when it was intended to familiarize students with Office software and college online resources to a course designed to allow students to experience the research process using both web and database sources for a real time college research assignment. We will share our experiences as we have worked in the classroom and on the curriculum committee to update and streamline the course and the in-class exercises.
