Re: Courses on Using iPhone/iTouch

I'm having trouble grasping why such a course is needed. Basic "computer
skills" courses consumed instructional time while delivering very little
gain. The value only came when the courses ceased to be taught and
skills were taught in context. I may be missing something, but this
iTouch course seems the same. Can the goals of the course be tied to
your mission statement in some way ?
