Introduction
This courseware aims to introduce students to
various office productivity tools that are available today.

tools that will increase their efficiency in doing school
work – word processing tools to help them prepare
papers and reports, spreadsheets for problem solving and
data visualization, software for their presentation needs,
e-mail for communication, and the Internet for research
and data gathering. The general approach is to
underscore the interoperability of the software being
taught. The last chapter deals with social issues in
computing and introduces the students to the ethical and
social dimensions of the Internet.
