for 18 years. This is the course that used to be required of everyone, and
went through Word Processing, Spreadsheets, the Internet, and various other
things as they fell in or out of favor.
Over the years more and more students have been able to test out of the
course, as a result, it became seen as the "loser course."
The fact that so many people were able to test out made us decide to revamp
the course to teach more of the new trendy stuff like blogging, video
making, etc. Our goal is to make this into a class that people WANT to take.
But at the moment the revamped course is still carrying the tainted name of
Info Studies, and a number of us feel that for students to want to take this
class, it has to have a totally different name. I mean, really, would anyone
really buy a new car that was called the Edsel?
Does anyone have any ideas on what a good name for the new course would be?
Thanks!
