| Abstract: | This paper presents a high-level course in computing for non-majors offered at Queens College (New York). The course focuses on the acquisition and presentation of data and information. For data acquisition, the course will give the students high-level mastery of the Internet. For the presentation of information, the students will learn multimedia authoring systems such as Toolbook and Director, but the primary focus will be on World Wide Web publishing. The course will be structured around: (1) a lecture which stresses high-level mastery of the software tools; (2) exploratory, hands-on supervised lab sessions in a specially constructed lab; (3) assignments which require students to continue, on their own, the exploration begun in the lab; and (4) a support network of graduate and undergraduate student aides.
