more topics that can be used in this course

Since COMP1900 is a new course this year, there is always room for new topics to be added for future years. Here are some of my suggested topics that I reckon would make COMP1900 more interesting:

1: Human Computer Interaction or "HCI". This topic will teach students about interaction between a computer and it's user. Although HCI can go beyond just simple computers, if this topic is implemented into the course, the topic should on stay between users and their computers. Learning this topic can help students find ways to improve interaction between user and his/her computer by improving on things such as computer functionality and etc. An assignment on this topic could be to write a report about the HCI improvements that could be make to user and his/her computer OS system.

2: Operating system. This topic will teach students about the different types of operating systems, how they work and what functions/applications they offer. Students will also learn about the advantages and disadvantages of different OS's and the differences between each of the GUI's. An assignment could involve students creating a Mockup of an OS and giving a report on the functions that this Os contains.

3: Web Communications. This topic will teach students how people comunicate through the world wide web. This topic will show how communication applications such as msn, skype, and motomusic works. This topic will also teach students on how forums, online games, google docs and chatrooms are used by people to communicate. An assignment could involve each student given a certain theme about Web Communications and allowing them to create message boards on a certain forum site and letting other students comment on their board.
