The Living Book of Digital Skills (You never knew you needed until now) is a living, open source online guide to 'modern not-quite-technical computer skills' for researchers and the broader academic community.
In this lesson, students will explore how technology can be a useful tool for active citizenship.
Our first lesson in our FREE Introduction to Computers/ Business Computers Information Systems (BCIS) course.
This video will introduce new students to this series and what they can expect.

Our second video in the free Introduction to Computer series. This video defines and examines what digital literacy means. We also look at why it is important.
Our third video defines the term digital. We also explain what binary is and show the viewer how to count in binary and do conversions from our every day base 10 numbering system to binary.
The fourth and final video in our Lesson 1 Digital World series looks at what exactly is a computer. We take a quick look at the history of the PC, the general components of a computer and answer the question "what kind of computer should I buy."
Our next lesson series, will focus on computer hardware.

Discrete mathematics is applied in many areas including the physical, engineering, and increasingly, the social sciences. This online textbook, written by mathematics and information technology professors, is aimed at students of information technology, computer science, and applied mathematics. The focus is on applying discrete math techniques from the two broad component areas of discrete math, namely combinatorics or enumerative techniques, and graph theory.
Los modelos de datos son mecanismos que permiten la abstracción y representación de un dominio, mediante un conjunto de reglas y símbolos pertenecientes a un lenguaje de modelado que es conforme al modelo. Un modelo puede definirse como la abstracción que permite representar los diferentes elementos pertenecientes a un dominio del negocio, sus relaciones y asociaciones, conforme sucedería en el mundo real.

Dive into Systems is a free, online textbook that serves as a gentle introduction to computer systems, computer organization, and parallel computing. The book is intended for an audience that has only a CS1 background. It guides readers through a vertical slice of a computer to develop an understanding of a variety of systems topics, including:
- how a computer runs a program, from a program expressed in a high-level language to low-level binary representation and circuits
- programming in C and Assembly, assuming a CS1 background
- introduction to operating systems and the systems costs that affect program performance (the memory hierarchy, caching, and code optimization)
- introduction to parallel computing with shared memory and pthreads
Dive into Systems is designed to be present topics in as independent manner as possible so that it can be used as a primary textbook for a wide range of introductory-level computer systems courses, or as a supplemental background textbook for upper-level courses that cover Operating Systems, Computer Architecture, Compilers, Networks, Databases, and Parallel Computing.
Students will learn the potential costs and benefits of social media, digital consumption, and our relationship with technology as a society in the three-week lesson. This inquiry based unit of study will answer the following questions:
Essential Question: How can we use science fiction’s ability to predict the future to help humanity?
Supportive Questions 1: What predictions of future development has science fiction accurately made in the past? This can include technology, privacy, medicine, social justice, political, environmental, education, and economic.
Supportive Question 2: What predictions for future development in contemporary science fiction are positive for the future of humanity? What factors need to begin in your lifetime to make these predictions reality?
Supportive Question 3: What predictions for future development in contemporary science fiction are negative for the future of humanity? What factors need to begin in your lifetime to stop these negative outcomes?

E-Content is very important in the present scenario.
It will be helpful to the teachers and students for a better understanding of the subject matter.
Every teacher must use e-content package for their subject matter in order to provide multi media experiences to the learner
E-content is the package of data in electronic digital format.
It is a form of knowledge or content which is packed in an electronic form.
It includes text, video, audio, graphics, animation etc.,
An innovative application of computer in the field of the teaching learning process is called e-content.
It is the advancement of technology to design, deliver, administer, select and extend learning.
The DMT Clearinghouse is a registry for online learning resources about research data management. Initial seed funding was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey's Community for Data Integration. Subsequent funding has been granted by an Institute of Museum and Library Services National Leadership Grant (LG-70-18-0092-18). Developed in collaboration with the Earth Sciences Information Partnership (ESIP) Federation, and DataONE, with subsequent support from the University of New Mexico Libraries Research Data Services, the DMT Clearinghouse is available for searching, browsing, and submitting information about learning resources on data management topics. DMT Clearinghouse FeaturesThe Search Interface allows users to find learning resources by entering terms, names of people and organizations, dates, and keywords. The Browse Interface allows users to view the entire list of learning resources, and to filter by educational framework. An educational framework is a plan or set of steps that defines or collects the content using clear, definable standards about what the student should know and understand. For purposes of the DMT Clearinghouse, a given learning resource may be associated with a community-defined standard for data management, for example:USGS Science Support FrameworkDataONE Data Life CycleESIP Data Management Short Course for Scientists The Digital Preservation NetworkInternational Council for Science (ICSU) World Data System (WDS) Training Resource GuideFAIR Data Principles The Submission Form allows users to enter information about learning resources that they would like to see included in the DMT Clearinghouse. A user log in is not required to submit a resource with key, required information. To add more information about a learning resource than just that required, please log in or create an account (click "Log In at the upper right side of the screen.) NOTE: Submissions will be published to the DMT Clearinghouse following an editorial review to ensure the resource meets quality and selection criteria for inclusion.. You may be contacted for more information about your submission, if needed. Your contact information will not be made available publicly without your permission. For questions or feedback, please contact clearinghouseEd@esipfed.org.
