Orientation and Introduction
to
Information Systems
In Unit 0, I learned about information systems, learning management systems, email communication, and digital footprints. I also learned how to use Brightspace and organize my coursework.
One important thing I learned was that a digital footprint is created by my online activities and can affect how others see me online. I also learned how information systems help people communicate and share information. Unit 0 terms are listed below:
