This is the entire point of spreadsheets. + +> 💡 **Demo:** Type `=5+3` in a cell. It shows 8. Now type `=A1+A2` where A1=5 and A2=3. Same result, but change A1 to 10 — the formula updates automatically. "This is why spreadsheets changed the world." + +**Order of Operations (PEMDAS)** +Excel follows standard math order: +1. Parentheses +2. Exponents +3. Multiplication / Division (left to right) +4. Addition / Subtraction (left to right) + +Example: `=2+3*4` = 14 (not 20). Use parentheses to override: `=(2+3)*4` = 20. + +**Common Functions** +| Function | What It Does | Example | +|----------|-------------|---------| +| `=SUM(B2:B10)` | Adds all values in a range | Total sales | +| `=AVERAGE(B2:B10)` | Calculates the mean | Average grade | +| `=MAX(B2:B10)` | Returns the largest value | Highest score | +| `=MIN(B2:B10)` | Returns the smallest value | Lowest temperature | +| `=COUNT(B2:B10)` | Counts cells containing numbers | How many entries | +| `=COUNTA(B2:B10)` | Counts non-empty cells | How many responses | + +> 💡 **Teaching idea:** Build a gradebook together in class.

Use sparingly — can cause issues with sorting/formulas. +- **Wrap Text:** Makes all content visible by expanding row height +- **Borders:** Add lines around cells for visual structure +- **Fill Color:** Background color for cells (use for headers, totals, emphasis) + +> 💡 **Design principle:** Format for readability. Bold headers, currency format for money, right-align numbers, consistent decimal places. A well-formatted spreadsheet tells its story at a glance. + +**Column & Row Operations** +- Resize: Drag borders or double-click to auto-fit +- Insert/Delete rows and columns +- Hide/Unhide (for temporary simplification) +- Freeze Panes: Keep headers visible while scrolling (View → Freeze Panes) + +**Conditional Formatting** +- Automatically format cells based on their values +- Examples: + - Highlight cells > 90 in green (A grades) + - Color scale from red (low) to green (high) + - Data bars showing relative magnitude + - Icon sets (arrows, traffic lights) + +> 💡 **Demo:** Apply conditional formatting to the gradebook. Scores above 90 → green. Below 60 → red. Instantly visual. + +**Cell References: Relative vs Absolute** +- **Relative (default):** `=A1` — adjusts when copied (A1 becomes A2, A3, etc.) +- **Absolute:** `=$A$1` — stays fixed when copied. The `$` locks the reference. +- **Mixed:** `=$A1` (column locked) or `=A$1` (row locked) +- **When do you need absolute?** When one cell is a constant used by many formulas (tax rate, conversion factor, etc.) + +> 💡 **Demo:** Create a price list with a tax rate in one cell. Write a formula to calculate tax. Copy it down — it breaks because the tax rate reference shifts. Fix it with `$`. Lightbulb moment. + +### Diagram Ideas +1. **Number Format Examples** — Same number (1234.5) shown as General, Number, Currency, Percentage, Date. +2. **Relative vs Absolute** — Show a formula being copied down: relative references shift, absolute stays fixed.

"What sold the most?" → Bar chart. "Is it trending up?" → Line chart. "What's the biggest piece?" → Pie chart. Start with the question, then choose the chart. + +**Sorting & Filtering** +- **Sort:** Rearrange rows by a column's values (A→Z, Z→A, smallest→largest) +- **Filter:** Temporarily hide rows that don't match criteria (dropdown arrows on headers) +- **AutoFilter:** Home → Sort & Filter → Filter. Adds dropdowns to each column header. + +**Printing a Spreadsheet** +- Page Layout tab: Margins, Orientation, Size, Print Area +- Scale to Fit: shrink wide spreadsheets to fit on one page +- Print Titles: Repeat header row on every printed page +- Page Break Preview: See exactly where pages split +- Headers & Footers for printed pages + +### Diagram Ideas +1. **Chart Type Decision Tree** — "What do you want to show?" → Comparison? → Bar/Column.

In async, students replace lecture time with recorded video modules (15–20 min each) + readings + hands-on practice. +- **Assessments:** Consider a midterm after Week 3 and final after Week 6 instead of one big final. Keeps students accountable in a compressed format. +- **Discussion boards:** Replace in-class discussions with weekly discussion posts. The discussion questions in each file work well for this. +- **Due dates:** Set mid-week check-ins (e.g., discussion post due Wednesday, assignment due Sunday) to prevent students from falling behind. +- **Office hours:** Offer 2–3 live Zoom drop-in sessions per week. Compressed courses need more support touchpoints. +- **Late policy:** Be explicit up front — 6 weeks leaves zero room for catching up. Consider a "1 free late day" policy rather than open-ended extensions. + +## Source +- [COR PDF](https://www.gavilan.edu/committee/curriculum/docs/cor/CSIS/CSIS_1.pdf) (August 2021) +- [Gavilan Catalog](https://gavilan.cc/catalog/course.php?course=csis1) diff --git a/canvas-export/browsable/INDEX.md b/canvas-export/browsable/INDEX.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..df49a7f --- /dev/null +++ b/canvas-export/browsable/INDEX.md @@ -0,0 +1,79 @@ +# CSIS 1 — Canvas Course Export (Summer 2025) + +Unpacked from `csis1-computer-literacy-su25-80966-export.imscc` on 2026-03-16. + +## How to Browse + +| Folder | What's in it | +|--------|-------------| +| `pages/` | Course pages (HTML) — syllabus, welcome, reading guides, support hub | +| `assignments/` | Real-world task instructions (HTML) — 6 assignments | +| `quizzes/readable/` | Quizzes in markdown — 6 weekly + 30-question final exam bank | +| `quizzes/` | Raw QTI XML quiz files (for Canvas re-import) | +| `settings/` | Course config, module structure, assignment groups | +| `images/` | Course header image | + +Raw unpacked IMSCC is in `../raw/` if you need it. + +--- + +## Course Structure + +### 👉🏼 Start Here +- 👋🏼 [Welcome to CSIS 1!](pages/welcome-to-csis-1.html) +- ⭐️ [Course Syllabus - Summer 2025](pages/course-syllabus-summer-2025.html) +- 📚 [Required Book, Tools & Software](pages/required-book-tools-and-software.html) +- 🚨 [Online Student Support Hub](pages/online-student-support-hub.html) + +### Module 1 (June 16–22): Computer Basics & Digital Citizenship +- 📘 [Reading: Chapters 1 & 2](pages/reading-chapters-1-and-2.html) +- 📝 [Quiz 1: Computer Basics & Citizenship](quizzes/readable/quiz-1-computer-basics--citizenship.md) (5 questions) +- 💬 Discussion 1: What does being "digitally literate" mean to you today? +- 🛠 [Real-World Task: Tech Self-Audit + Risk Assessment](assignments/real-world-task-tech-self-audit-+-risk-assessment.html) + +### Module 2 (June 23–29): Cybersecurity & Social Media +- 📘 [Reading: Chapters 3 & 4](pages/reading-chapters-3-and-4.html) +- 📝 [Quiz 2: Online Safety & Social Media](quizzes/readable/quiz-2-online-safety--social-media.md) (5 questions) +- 💬 Discussion 2: Share an experience or concern about online safety or social media boundaries +- 🛠 [Real-World Task: Online Safety & Reputation Report](assignments/real-world-task-online-safety-and-reputation-report.html) + +### Module 3 (June 30–July 6): Operating Systems & Docs +- 📘 [Reading: Chapters 5 & 6](pages/reading-chapters-5-and-6.html) +- 📝 [Quiz 3: OS Navigation & Document Tools](quizzes/readable/quiz-3-os-navigation--document-tools.md) (5 questions) +- 💬 Discussion 3: What tools (if any) have you used for writing or presentations?

This course is designed to give you a solid foundation in how computers work, how to use them effectively, and how to stay safe online. Whether you've been using computers for years or you're just getting started, there's something here for everyone. + +I've opened up the course on Canvas. I will continue to add material throughout the first few days, including an introductory survey and a discussion forum where we can all get to know each other. + +This is a 2-unit course compressed into 6 weeks — manageable but fast-paced. You'll want to set aside about 2-3 hours per day for reading, lectures, and assignments. The key is staying on top of the weekly modules and not letting things pile up. + +You will need access to a computer with internet and a productivity suite (Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, or LibreOffice all work). More details are in the Materials section of the syllabus. + +You can message me any time via Canvas, or at phowell@gavilan.edu. + +This class is fully online and asynchronous — there are no required times to attend. However, I will be holding **weekly live demos on Zoom every Monday evening** where I walk through the week's material and you can ask questions in real time. These sessions are optional but highly recommended — a lot of this material clicks faster when you can see it demonstrated live. + +I will also have **Zoom office hours** available during the week. Times will be posted in the first module. + +Again, thank you for being a part of this class. I am glad you're here. + +I look forward to meeting you, + +Peter Howell +Gavilan College CSIS / Distance Education
