Welcome to the new school year 2020-2021, you are enrolled in the
Correspondence Learning Modality. I am Ceferino Llamelo your teacher for
the subject Computer Fundamentals and Programming. You can expect that
I’ll do my best to impart my knowledge to you, but of course I would expect
you to exert the same effort to learn. Do not hesitate to ask questions in
regards with our topic and inform me of your problems and difficulties
immediately. I will create blogs in LMS every week for you to impart your
knowledge also. Please be guided accordingly.
Learning materials like handouts, PowerPoint, scanned books, photos or videos and worksheets will be
uploaded in the Neo-LMS. You are expected to read the lessons before working on the activities or
quizzes.
You are expected to interact by asking questions or sharing insights through the Discussion Forum.
That is also my way of following up on your progress and of helping you with your difficulties.
In each lesson, you will be given a worksheet or activity to complete. It is important therefore, that you
read well the materials given before working on any activity.
Synchronous quiz will be given every week. Low MB usage will be utilized to ensure easy access. Fail-
ure to submit on time requires you to provide written explanation. Allowing you to take another exam is
within the discretion of your instructor. You will be notified of the schedule for quizzes
Each of you must manage your own time each week to know when assignments, and any other weekly course
obligations, are due. This will involve regularly logging into your LMS accounts to check discussion forums and
communications, and virtually interacting with classmates, team members, instructors, and course materials.
Remember:
Expect to do a lot of reading and writing. Varied assessments or activities will be given. At the outset, I am
strictly warning you against plagiarism specially for essay type activities. Plagscan is used to verify authenticity
of your work. Any plagiarized material will be automatically given zero. (this includes copy paste from internet
and from your classmates)
I hope you find this flexible approach helpful. Continue to learn amidst this pandemic. Stay safe while learning.
I. Syllabus

people, data and information, procedures and communications. It will also include discussion on number systems
and topics on telecommunication technology such as data transmission and networking. The course also includes
basic and application concepts of programming using C++, essential ideas of C++ programming and the breadth
of discipline of computing. It commences with the basic constructs and syntax of the C++ language.
The laboratory requirement accompanying the lecture session of the course Computer Fundamentals and
Programming which deals with fundamentals of the computer system. The laboratory portion of the course
introduces the use of the common software productivity tools such as word processor, spreadsheet, presentation

LEARNING CONTENT
Introduction:
Lesson Proper:
An information system is a combination of people, procedures, software, hardware and data for
collecting, storing, processing, and communicating information…. Some students may think of a system as
pertaining to just the hardware ------ Remind them that a microcomputer is part of an information system. Also,
almost all of today’s computer systems add an additional part, communication/connectivity. To be a competent
end user, one must understand the essentials of IT. Note that IT stands for information technology
People
People is the most important part of any
system, it controls any computer and create
instruction(software) for them to do task. Our lives are
touched everyday by computers- many time the
contact is direct and obvious, such as creating
documents using a word processing program or when
connecting to the internet. Other times, it isn’t as
obvious and is much more indirect as shown in a
couple of the pictures. Below are common computer
uses, as a learner what are the computer applications
you use every day, and which category of “computer
uses” does it belong to. Also if you are wondering, --
ML BangBang, Dota, PubG and other games falls
under entertainment. Some of you may say, “Sir, ML BangBang is a game from cellphones”, and I will say,
Cellphones are considered Handheld Computer which is under microcomputer.
Entertainment
Business
Medicine
Education
Some examples of computer Application you may have encounter:
Instant messaging
Personal Web site
Virus protection
TV tuners and video clips
Digital photography
Music
Software
Software is another name for programs and programs are instructions that tell the computer how to
process data into the form you want. Take note that there are two categories of software which is System
software and Application Software. The difference between these types of software will be discuss in the
succeeding topic of prelims, but to give you an idea, application software are the software that is being used by
end user, while system software are programs that holds these application software.
System software
o Operating system
o Utilities
o Device drivers
Application software
o Basic applications or General-purpose
o Specialized applications
System Software
System software are collection of programs, system software includes the following
Operating Systems
Utilities
Device Drivers
A system software also enables application software to interact with the computer hardware, it also
helps manage resources, one concrete example is the Operating System, below are the ways how an
operating system works:
Coordinates computer resources
Provides the user interface
Runs applications
Application Software
Types of Computers
Types of Micromputers
Type Specifications
Desktop Computers Small enough to fit on top of or alongside a desk yet too big to carry
around
Media Center System It blurs the line between desktop computers and dedicated
Unit entertainment device.
Notebook Computers Also known as laptop computers. Are portable, lightweight, and fit into most
briefcase
Netbooks Similar to notebook computers, but smaller lighter and less expensive.
It has also lower specification than that of Notebook Computers
Tablet Pc In Addition to a keyboard, a tablet PC allows you to enter data and
select commands using a pen stylus. Handwritten data is digitalized.
Newer tablet referred to as a slate computer. Examples include Apple
iPad, Motorola’s Zoon
Handheld Computers Smallest computing Device. Combine pen input, writing recognition,
personal organization tools and communication. Handheld computers
include; (a)Personal digital assistants (PDA), (b)Smartphones.
Microcomputer Hardware
Hardware are the tangible part of information system, these are the parts you can hold and see. There are four
basic categories of equipment/hardware
System Unit
Input/Output
Secondary Storage
Communications
System Unit is the container that houses most of the electronic components that make up a computer system.
Two important components
o Microprocessor (CPU – Central Processing Unit)
Brain of the computer
o Memory
Holds data currently
being processed
Holds the processed information before
it is output
Temporary storage, contents are lost when power is off
Input/Output – Input devices translate data and programs from a form humans understand to a form computer
can process;
Secondary Storage – Unlike memory, secondary storage holds data and programs even after the electrical
power has been turned off—examples of secondary storage include USB drives, hard drives and optical drives.
There are also three main usage of secondary storage, which is; (a)store files permanently, (b) transfer files,
(c)use for back up. Below are different secondary storage.
Communication – one computer communicating with another computer or other computer systems using
communication devices such as a modem
Communication devices, such as modems, provide microcomputers with the ability to
communicate with other computer systems
Modems modify information so that it may be sent and received across telephone or cable
lines
Data
Document Files
Word processing software, sometimes called a word
processor, allows users to create and manipulate
documents containing mostly text and sometimes graphics
Millions of people use word processing software every day
to develop documents such as letters, memos, reports,
mailing labels, newsletters, and Web pages. A major
advantage of using word processing software is that users
easily can change what they have written. Word processing
software also has many features to make documents look
professional and visually appealing. For example, you can
change the shape, size, and color of characters; apply
special effects such as three-dimensional shadows; and
organize text in newspaper-style columns.
