This set of web pages is devoted to the Internet Literacy course I currently
teach at the Community College of Baltimore County. According to the official
course catalog, this course will
help students develop the ability to define an information need, understand
available sources of information, and evaluate the information found. The underlying
resource is the Internet, including utilities such as email, FTP, Telenet,
and web page development. Student will choose, locate, and obtain research
materials on a wide range of topics relevant top their interests and fields
of study. Information retrieved will be used to evaluate and analyze data and
to make written reports and presentations.
