COURSE BENEFITS

Fluency with Information Technology (FIT) offers many BENEFITs, including the ability to apply information technology (IT) more fully and effectively in everyday life. FIT Individuals possess a broad understanding of IT that enables them to:

• feel comfortable and at ease with technology
• learn new business application software quickly and use it effectively
• recognize when IT will assist—or impede—achievement of a personal goal
• navigate successfully through a continually changing IT landscape
• keep pace with the dynamic content of information technology as it grows and changes

To be FIT is to possess knowledge essential to using information technology now and in the future. Successful completion of this course will give you the skills, concepts, and capabilities to:

• apply concepts that provide the principles on which to build new understandings as IT evolves
• develop capabilities that embody modes of thinking that are essential to exploiting IT but apply broadly, like reasoning and problem solving
• navigate independently in the ever-changing worlds of information and technology
• apply the full power of IT tools for your own personal and career goals

With the knowledge that FITness brings, you will be able to more fully participate in our technical age, and to become fluent with IT.
