Abstract | Operation Soft Boot was a program designed to develop a computer literacy curriculum for use with adult basic education (ABE) students at their educational level. Computer literacy instruction included a review of the component parts of a personal computer system and their operation and a review of basic keyboarding skills. Instruction also included a review of computer uses in education and other areas such as business, with hands-on experience running various types of software. More than 20 currently enrolled ABE students received three 3-hour sessions in classes of 8-10 students. Students worked on both IBM-compatible and Apple IIe computers. Students who participated in the program exhibited none of the apprehension and resistance to computers common to such students; however, a defect in the program was the limited availability of computers outside class time. (The program report includes an outline of the computer literacy course, a multiple-choice test with answer key, a list of software used, and information sheets.) (KC) |
