Features: Entering the 21st century, with the rapid development of information technology and the gradual popularization of IT education in secondary schools, the direction of reform for computer courses in non-computer majors at universities has become a hot topic for educators in computer foundation education. In this regard, numerous reform proposals have emerged in recent years. The starting point for everyone's considerations has focused on: What are the computer courses for non-computer majors in higher education? How to select teaching content? That is, which content is needed, which is not needed, which needs to be mastered urgently at present, and which are the main contents. In response to the above issues, we adhere to the principle of starting from actuality and have organized a comprehensive investigation lasting over a year, involving dozens of different types of higher education institutions and numerous secondary schools to understand the situation and unify the understanding. This book is compiled based on the latest teaching reform achievements in computer and information technology foundation courses in higher education, systematically introducing knowledge of computer applications and basic information technology. The main content includes: computer culture and information society, basic computer knowledge, the use of Chinese Windows 2000 and Office 2000 suite software (including Word 2000, Excel 2000, and PowerPoint 2000), an introduction to multimedia technology, basic knowledge of computer networks, web page creation, and the application of information technology. These knowledge will lay a solid foundation for a broad readership to further study computer and information technology in this field. The book is rich in content, easy to understand, illustrated, and accompanied by corresponding volumes of "Computer and Information Technology Foundation Experiments" and "Computer and Information Technology Foundation Examination Syllabus and Exercises." This series of textbooks can serve as teaching materials for students in non-computer majors at ordinary universities, various higher vocational colleges, adult universities, and secondary schools to study computer and information technology foundation courses, as well as teaching materials and reference books for various training programs.
