ColleGe Graduates of the 21st CenturY are expected to have a BroAd BASe oF KnoWledGe to intelligently address social, political, economic, and legal issues associated with rapidly evolving digital technology.
Todays students have a patchwork of knowledge, acquired from using various digital devices. New Perspectives on Computer Concepts NP2018 helps students build a cohesive framework that organizes this acquired knowledge and serves as a foundation for assimilating new concepts eSSentIAl to cAreerS And lIFeStYleS in our digital world.
fullY revIsed. NP2018 has been newly reVISed And uPdAted to increase learning effectiveness and to reflect the wide scope of digital devices in use today, with an enhanced focus on the connectivity that pervades modern life and the security necessary to protect it.
tarGeted learnInG suPPort. This award-winning textbook contains layers of targeted learning support for ActIVe leArnInG that keeps students engaged and helps them succeed. Using the MIndtAP dIGItAl PlAtForM, students benefit from interactive feedback and new collaborative opportunities.
readInG In the dIsCIPlIne. Short paragraphs and a clear narrative style help students grasp concepts and learn HoW to reAd tecHnIcAl MAterIAl.
retentIon. Whats the most effective study technique： Taking notes? Reviewing? According to researchers, students study most effectively by simply trying to recall the material theyve read, seen, or heard. Thats why NP2018 offers contInuouS ASSeSSMent. Embedded QuickChecks on just about every page help students recall key concepts while reading and later while reviewing. QuickQuizzes and end-of-module reinforcement promote SucceSSFul leArnInG outcoMeS.
hands-on. NP2018 contains plenty of practical information about how to use apps, manage files, create content, configure security software, and more. Try It! activities throughout the book show students how to IMMedIAtelY APPlY concePtS In reAl-World contextS.
A fresh approach to Social MediA. Sure, students use social media, but are they familiar with underlying concepts, such as the social media honeycomb, geolocation, and sociograms? Are they up to speed with Creative Commons and intellectual property concepts? Do they recognize fake news? And do they understand the relevance of online identity, priva cy, and reputation ma nag ement? Module 5 offers a fresh approach to social media that delves into concepts while also providing practical how-to tips.
The latest technology. Digital technology evolves at a fast pace. NP2018 keeps students up to date with raspberry pi, 3D printers, smart appliances, lightning ports, USB-C, accelerometers, gyro sensors, magnetometers, macOS, Windows 10, virtual reality headsets, Microsoft Edge, hypervisors, two-factor authentication, Locky ransomware, and more!
HANDS-ON PROGRAMMING Module. Programming with Python provides highly interactive programming activities that introduce students to the world of programming without requiring any prior experience. Python is an easy-to-learn language that supports procedural and object-oriented programs.
Infographic illustrations. Illustrations based on popular infographic visuals are carefully integrated into the learning path to provide visual scaffolding that is so important to understanding technical concepts.
froM the author
So much has changed since the first edition of Computer Concepts was published in 1994! From year to year, the changes have been subtle, but looking back, it is clear that technology, students, and even education has progressed in amazing and sometimes unexpected directions. As digital technology continues to evolve, New Perspectives continues to keep pace, providing students with up-to-date content and cognitive tools that engage and ensure successful learning outcomes.
Many of todays students have substantially more practical experience with digital devices than their counterparts of twenty years ago, but even these students may lack a cohesive framework for their knowledge.
The goal of New Perspectives on Computer Concepts is to bri
