What you are going to do in this course 
In this course, you are going to learn to assemble a variety of electronic materials into one medium.  For example, suppose you are writing a paper and want to include, along with text, a graphic and/or an Excel file. This course will teach you the mechanics of integrating the various electronic media into one file. 

You will also learn how to search the Internet for quality resources, and how to evaluate those resources for inclusion in your integrated file. 

Your project for the course will be an electronic document that includes a text file and one or more graphics, and perhaps an Excel file.  You may use a paper or other report that you are doing for one of your classes.
