What do I think? I LOVE IT !!!!
I'd love to see specifics of this implementation. For the past five
or so years I've been advocating for a technology literacy program
that is systematic and a requirement for all incoming freshmen. Sure,
you'd be able to test out of it (through some sort of placement test,
similar to the ones we give for Math and English) but it should be a
requirement. It's an essential skill these days, and you can't be
successful in college if you don't master some digital skills. The
main impediment (or excuse, depending on which way you see it) for us
has been that they don't want to increase the amount of credits
required for graduation, they don't want to re-appropriate credits
from another department, and our freshman seminars are taught by a
variety of instructors, so we'd have to have buy-in from all of them
if we wanted to implement it there.
If you have any documentation on the subject it would be awesome to
share (if you can) :-)
