Links Computer Literacy In the Information Age, technology and access to information are expanding at an unprecedented rate while impacting our lives in multiple areas. Enormously rapid strides are being made in technology for storing, organizing and accessing the ever-growing wave of information. Students needed to be able to find and use a variety of information to meet a wide range of personal, educational and business needs. Connect to Careers and Computer Literacy workshops promoted the awareness of the need for skills in this area and encouraged members in their acquisition. Computer Literacy was a way to empower students with ideas, resources, address social, economic inequities and impact their abilities. Computer Literacy Assessment Scores: 100% of student participants increased their scores. John P. Cicero, Ph.D. Internet Research Workshops Pamela Highet , an English instructor at Shasta College, did an outstanding job of explaining and showing students how to access the Internet.

122. Information And Computer Literacy In A Research University What is Information and Computer Literacy in University Education? NCSU s General Education Requirement (GER) computer literacy provides computer literacy. http://www.ncsu.edu/it/open_source/it-educ-u.html

What is Information and Computer "Literacy" in University Education? Worry about the Future of IT in the university shouldn't blind us to the fact that our students are not being prepared to use IT effectively. Balderdash! is the common reaction - our students come to us knowing a lot more about IT than most of our faculty, and we often have to work hard to put enough IT "stuff" into courses to convince the students (and their parents) that the technology fee is justified. Our students do have great facility with many IT applications - games, e-mail, Napster, surfing the Web, instant messaging, word processors, and some even know some HTML. This is all to the good, but such facility doesn't indicate that there is the understanding that a university education (supposedly) provides. (A fraction of our students don't have these skills, but are often overlooked.) The 2000 Freshman Norms show a large amount of computers use by new students. This doesn't necessarily translate to understanding, see the Southwestern University report cited below. The Freshman Norms report also shows that computer use by women is now nearly equal to that of men, but "a new survey item suggests that women lag far behind their male counterparts when asked about their computing self-confidence" (Additional material on the Freshman Norms The NRC (in the Executive Summary of a book cited below) calls the desired state "fluency" and describes this as: Fluency with information technology requires three kinds of knowledge: contemporary skills, foundational concepts, and intellectual capabilities.

125. Orality, Literacy, And The Electronic Culture A historical perspective on the growth of electronic communication. Offers examples from Socrates to Martin Luther of how technology influences human interaction. http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~univ302/StudentWork/S96/Dolan/olec.html

rality, iteracy, and the Future of Computer-Mediated Communication "I suspect that Ong is correct that a new orality is emerging in the Electronic Age." -Robert M. Fowler, 1994 ith the continued emergence of new forms of electronic communication, speculation has increased about the future of human interaction and the ways in which the new media will influence that interaction. As with any new technology, wild predictions are being made and only time will tell which are accurate. There are, as well, those who are determined to believe that the new technology can only work to the detriment and not the betterment of mankind. Somewhere between these two extremes lies the truth about the future of computer-mediated communication (CMC). As yet we can only speculate on the ways in which the new technology will change our lives. What is becoming increasingly clear, however, is that much of what is being touted as the "information revolution" has very strong ties to past structures of communication such as rality and literacy.

Information Literacy Blog ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Eisenberg, Michael B. - Johnson, Doug Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Information and Technology Syracuse NY. Computer Skills for Information Problem-Solving: Learning and Teaching Technology in Context. ERIC Digest. There seems to be clear and widespread agreement among the public and educators that students need to be proficient computer usersstudents need to be "computer literate." However, while districts are spending a great deal of money on technology, there seems to be only a vague notion of what computer literacy really means. - Can the student who operates a computer well enough to play "Doom" be considered computer literate? - Will a student who has used computers in school only for running tutorials or an integrated learning system have the skills necessary to survive in our society? - Will the ability to do basic word processing be sufficient for students entering the workplace or post-secondary education? Clearly not. In too many schools, most teachers and students still use computers only as the equivalent of expensive flash cards or electronic worksheets. The productivity side of computer use in the general content area curriculum is neglected or grossly underdeveloped (Moursund, 1995).

127. Tata Computer-based Functional Literacy Programme Launched by the Tata group of companies, aims to lift the adult literacy rate. http://www.tataliteracy.com/

Making this possible is a remarkable initiative from the Tata Group that has changed the lives of thousands of adults in different parts of India. The 'computer-based functional literacy' (CBFL) programme is a new-age solution to an age-old problem, and one that has the potential to lift our country's literacy rate in record time. Born of the Tata Group's ever-enduring commitment to community causes and bred by its expertise in information technology, this is a project as novel in methodology as it is ambitious in scope. The problem Nearly 350 million Indians cannot read or write The potential The CBFL project can make 90% of India functionally literate in three to five years The Information Company Pvt Ltd This site is best viewed with a 800 x 600 monitor resolution

129. Currents In Electronic Literacy (Fall 1999): "Herbert In Hypertext" Using the computer to analyse repetition and joining of ideas and words in the Temple. http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/currents/archives/fall99/kramarsky.html

Herbert in Hypertext: Using a Computer for Literary Analysis by Laura Kramarsky The University of Texas at Austin Currents in Electronic Literacy Much of the recent discussion about the uses of computers in education has revolved around the changes technology can make in composition and the ways it can facilitate discussions in literature classrooms. Relatively little attention, however, has been directed toward the prerequisite for stimulating classroom discussions: research. Practically speaking, we need to explore theories ourselves before we can teach them. Can we use computers to analyze literature in ways for which more traditional means will not suffice? I would answer with an unequivocal "sometimes." In some instances, working on a computer can be very similar to working without one: taking notes in a word processing program mirrors taking them on notecards, for example. While there are differences between composing notes on a word processor and on cards, writing down thoughts and organizing them are processes familiar to us from traditional research methods. Indeed, many of the programs designed especially for research seem to have been designed with the belief that the computer is a tool that increases efficiency without substantially altering output. There are times, however, a question would be impossible to answer, a theory impossible to prove, a concept impossible to flesh out without digital assistance (or enough note cards to decimate a small forest, a stadium-sized floor to arrange them on, and a visual memory as complex as a medieval monk's).
