Computer Literacy and the University
It seems to be that there is an on going discussion in academia centered on computer literacy and the needs of the modern student. The results of these discussions seem to lead to the fact that citizens and instructors alike can no longer ignore the computer literacy issue; computer literacy is here to stay. So now what? What does that mean for me as a future educator? It means that as an instructor the pressure is placed on me tp introduce students to these modern advancements. Yet, had each of those students taken a placement exam for computer literacy, and had the students, if lacking in computer skills, been placed in computer courses, classes I could run more efficiently. Therefore I feel it is the job of the university to ensure that students are adequately placed in and prepared for classes that require the use of computers.
