Course Description

In this course, practices for enhancing skills to use Information-Communication Technology (ICT), which you had mastered in Introduction to Information Technology 1, are conducted in one of the Computer Laboratory (CL) rooms in the Utsunomiya campus, Teikyo university. You will acquire abilities to gather and process information, and to transmit and communicate information with proper representation. You will also learn meanings of explicitly and objectively representing problem solutions by experiencing having a computer solve problems. They serve as a basis for abilities in the curriculum policy 3. Each class is comprised of a lecture by the lecturer and practice using a computer by yourself.
