PROPOSAL TO ADDRESS GEN ED COMPUTER LITERACY OUTCOMES THROUGH PROGRAM COURSE WORK

This document provides a means by which representatives of CNM degree-granting programs can request CCC approval to substitute program course work for IT 1010 to address the General Education Computer Literacy outcomes. If approved, programs assume responsibility for assessing and reporting their students’ progress toward these outcomes within the context of the program’s 5-year assessment cycle plan.

Program Identification and Contact Information:
Nursing (AAS) / Diane Evans-Prior / / 44144
Program / Contact Person / Email / Phone Extension

In the first column of the table below, please identify which course(s) and/or program component(s) will be used to develop the Computer Literacy student learning outcomes (SLOs). If Computer Literacy outcomes are tied to program SLOs, please identify the program SLO by number and statement.

Nursing Graduate Learning Outcome (Program level outcome):

Utilize technologies for the management of information and in the delivery of patient care.

In the second column, describe how the Computer Literacy outcomes will be addressed. Then, to linkthe corresponding Computer Literacy outcomes,enter X’s in the intersecting cells. All five Computer Literacy outcomes must be addressed. (To add rows: Right-click, Insert, Insert Rows Above)
