Information Technology Degrees Online

Given a question, any question, can we make a computer system that will answer it? Will the system be easy to use and available anywhere for its intended users? Will it be secure? Information Technology attempts to answer these questions affirmatively. The “question” might come from the domain of business or biology or journalism. Indeed all professions today are looking to use computing technologies in innovative ways.

The focus here is using what already has been built by interconnecting software components so they do something new. An IT professional will know some programming, be able to make use of operating systems’ resources, control communication between hosts over the Internet, access and store data on servers using database technologies, and build intuitive graphical interfaces.

This course covers the fundamentals of computer hardware and software as well as advanced concepts. Students who complete this course will be able to describe the internal components of a computer, assemble a computer system, install an operating system, and troubleshoot using system tools and diagnostic software. Students will also be able to connect to the Internet and share resources in a network environment. New topics included in this version include laptops and portable devices, wireless connectivity, security, safety and environmental issues, and communication skills.

Hands-on lab activities will continue to be an essential element of the course. In support of this, virtual learning tools are integrated into this course. The Virtual Laptop and Virtual Desktop are stand-alone tools designed to supplement classroom learning and provide an interactive “hands-on” experience in learning environments. With limited physical equipment.

On successful completion students will have the opportunity to sit the A+ certification exams which offer industry wide recognition. (These will be costed separately from the IT Essentials course).
