| Team Teaching an Advanced Computer Fluency Course: A Composite Perspective |
| Ned Kock, Robert Aiken, David Dalton, David Elesh, Anthony Ranere, and Cheryl Sandas |
| This paper discusses the observations of six instructors who team-taught an advanced computer fluency course over |
| a period of three years. The course exposed students to complex information technology ap-plications, such as |
| geographic information and molecular design systems, in specific professional do-mains. One of the main goals of |
| the course was to give students a glimpse at real-world applications of information technology aimed at solving |
| complex problems. In addition to providing personal observa-tions we summarize some of the problems that were |
| encountered and how we addressed them. Also, the result of analyzing some preliminary data is discussed. The goal |
| is to assist other instructors who might be interested in designing/teaching a similar course. |
