This course on Computer Fluency was developed under an NSF grant by a collaboration of the nation's leading Computer Scientists and Educators. Those taking the course should order the text "Computer Fluency" by Lawrence Snyder. Each week an additional set of slides covering the 28 chapters will be added.
