Digital literacy

The first COM 1100 discussion post: choose one of online shopping, voice controls, social media or your favourite app, and discuss how you learned to use it on your smartphone or another electronic device, then respond to a classmate comparing your experiences with technology.

A COM 1100 Unit 2 discussion post: consider when and why you would use a smartphone, a tablet, or a laptop or desktop computer for school tasks, then choose one device and discuss how you would use it to complete coursework, research a topic, access media, or buy items online.

A COM 1100 Unit 5 assignment: download the supplied letter template, replace the bracketed prompts with your own answers, find and insert an image or quote describing how you feel about college so far with the link to its source, then format the document to a precise specification and save it under a required filename.

A COM 1100 Unit 8 discussion post: after the example of a musician storing tracks in the cloud, choose one of four uses — freeing yourself from one home machine, sharing very large files quickly, sharing videos and pictures with family, or collaborating on a project — and explain why it is useful to you.

A two-part COM 1100 assignment: create a Student_Life folder with Tutorials, Writing Resources and Policies subfolders, sort six downloaded documents into them and evidence the structure with four screenshots, then choose one productivity app and one mindfulness app, explain both choices and link to a training resource for each.
