Study Notes

Distance Learning

  • Students participate in learning from locations other than the traditional classroom setting using computers and internet access.

Computer Essentials

  • A computer is a programmable electronic device that accepts data, performs operations on that data to produce results, and can store the data or results.
  • Four main functions of a computer:
    • Input: Entering data into the computer
    • Processing: Performing operations on the data
    • Output: Presenting the results
    • Storage: Saving data, programs, or output for future use

Data and Information

  • Data: Raw, unorganized facts
  • Information: Data that has been processed into a useful form
  • Representation: Processing data into a useful form

Binary System

  • The binary system consists of 0s and 1s
  • Instructions that tell the computer how to process data to produce the required results (information)

ICT

  • ICT stands for Information and Communications Technology
