Abstract

Abstract: This paper is based on a college course, which emphasizes the construction of knowledge through the utilization of higher-order thinking skills. Course objectives include developing understandings of what it means to be literate in a multimedia culture, learning to engage in dialogue as a primary means of increasing professional knowledge, and analyzing and evaluating one's own literacy and learning processes through various means. Findings related a correlation between these objectives and the implementation of higher-order thinking skills in the classroom. Through this dialogue and active engagement by the learner in computer based activities, course objectives were met in this nontraditional classroom setting.
