Advanced Information Systems provides students with the opportunity to develop professional technology skills in a project-oriented and student-centered environment. Working independently or in teams, students apply problem-solving, decision-making, creative-thinking, and communication skills to relevant, real-life situations through a series of software within Microsoft Office 365. Instruction in current and emerging information technology includes operating systems, networking and hardware principles, document preparation, presentation tools, spreadsheet analysis and charts preparation, relational database management, technical writing, desktop publishing, copyright issues, and basic web page design. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to apply technology to analyze and solve problems and to complete technology tasks efficiently and effectively. Upon successful completion of Advanced Information Systems, students may elect to obtain industry-recognized professional certification by taking the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) exams. Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning opportunities related to students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.
