Understanding Computers and the Internet
http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~cscie1/ Harvard Extension School's Computer Science E-1: Understanding Computers and the Internet Free Computer Science Course : in English, Chinese or Turkish This course is all about understanding: understanding what's going on inside your computer when you flip on the switch, why tech support has you constantly rebooting your computer, how everything you do on the Internet can be watched by others, and how your computer can become infected with a worm just by turning it on. In this course we demystify computers and the Internet, along with their jargon, so that students understand not only what they can do with each but also how it all works and why. Students leave this course armed with a new vocabulary and equipped for further exploration of computers and the Internet. Topics include hardware, software, the Internet, multimedia, security, website development, programming, and dotcoms. This course is designed both for those with little, if any, computer experience and for those who use a computer every day. |

ICT GCSE OCR Short Course Syllabus B
http://tinyurl.com/2677n This course will help candidates to prepare for the world of work and our continual changing society. The world is becoming increasingly dominated by technology and today's citizens need to be equipped with the knowledge and skills to enable them to participate in it.

It differs therefore from other GCSE ICT specifications that focus primarily upon ICT use in school. It aims to develop practical capability through a series of teacher set practical tasks. Candidates then demonstrate their ability to analyse, design and implement ICT systems for use in a range of environments including those of industry, commerce and the community. ICT GCSE OCR Short Course Syllabus B Mapped to NC ICT levels Short Course candidates take the first two units only, while full course candidates must complete a further two units. Overall 60% of the assessment is based on coursework. Assessment can be staged and candidates can re-sit individual units, although a traditional end of course assessment pattern can be used if Centres prefer. The exam element is a 40 question multiple choice paper ... coursework is a 12 hour task |
