How are CIC courses different from traditional courses?
A CIC course covers the same material as conventional courses, but it combines the best of traditional instruction with the benefits of technology-based instruction. Students spend time debating, writing, and working through material both in the face-to-face environment of a conventional classroom and through independent and collaborative work in a networked computer classroom. Students in CIC courses also have the opportunity to complete traditional essays and less-conventional types of assignments, including Web pages, PowerPoint presentations, blogs, e-portfolios, and verbally-annotated film clips.
