GUIDE ON HOW TO USE THE MODULE
A. For Faculty
1. Subject instructors must distribute this module to their learners on time, either using a Learning
Management System (LMS) or social media platforms like Facebook messenger for them to receive
a copy.
2. Instructors must be able to answer concerns & inquiries of their students as it is their duties and
responsibilities. However, students must respect the personal time of their instructors.
3. Instructors must provide constructive feedbacks and key to corrections to the assessment of
students.
B. For Learners
1. Manage your time to read and understand every part of the module. Read and understand all the
points.
2. Study how you can manage the activities of this module in consideration of your other modules
from other courses. Be very conscious of the study schedule. Post it in a conspicuous place so that
you can always see. Do not ask about questions that are already answered in the guide.
3. If you did not understand the readings and other tasks, re-read. Focus, if this will not work,
engage all possible resources. You may ask other family members to help you. If this will not work
again, text me first so that I can call you or text you back for assistance.
4. Do Not Procrastinate. Remember, it is not others who will be short-changed if you will not do
your work on time, it will be you.
5. Before you start doing your tasks, read and understand the assessment tools provided. Do not
settle with the low standards, target the highest standards in doing your assigned tasks. I know you
can.
6. You are free to browse and read the different units of the module even before doing the task in
each unit. However, you need to ensure that you will not miss any part of the module and you will
not miss accomplishing every activity in every module asscheduled.
7. There will be group works or activities provided in your course module, make sure that if group
work was assigned, work well with your team and collaborate with them to accomplish the work
assigned and earn high points.
8. There are some module requirements to be submitted using different platforms, referto your
instructor for the mode of submissions.
9. Before the end of the prelim, you will be tasked to send back through some correspondence the
accomplished and scheduled modules for prelims to me. Make sure you will follow it up with me
through LMS or any other media available for you.
10. While waiting for my feedback of your accomplished modules, continue doing the task in
succeeding units of the module that are scheduled for the next term.
11. If needed, do not hesitate to keep in touch with me through any available means. Remember, if
there’s a will there’s away.
12. In answering your assessment, read the questions and instructions carefully. Think before you
write.
13. Lastly, you are the learner; hence, you do the module on your own. Your family members and
friends at home will support you but the activities must be done by you. As DLSPIANS, we always
need to demonstrate our core values of competence and creativity.

II. Learning Objectives:

By the end of the class, student will be able to learn the concepts of Information
technology.

III. Lectures and Annotations:

What is Computer?

It is an electronic computational device which can perform Arithmetic, mathematical,

and logical operation with incredible speed, and can store a gigantic amount of
information and data.

According to their size and capabilities they are basically classified into four different
types of computers:

1. SUPER COMPUTER - A supercomputer is the fastest computer in the world that can
process a significant amount of data very quickly. The computing Performance of a
“supercomputer” is measured very high as compared to a general purpose computer.

Usage of Super Computer

Supercomputers are found at work in research facilities, government agencies and
businesses performing mathematical calculations as well as collecting, collating, categorizing
and analyzing data. Example: Weather Forecasting Scientific research Intelligence Agencies
data mining

2. MINI - Minicomputers were often used in manufacturing for process control. A

minicomputer used for process control had two primary functions -- data acquisition and
feedback. For example, factories used minicomputers to monitor the manufacturing process.
If an element of the process slowed, stopped or accelerated, the computer recognized the
change and made necessary adjustments to the system.

3. MAINFRAME - Mainframe computers was first developed by J. Presper Eckert and John
Mauchly in USA, in 1951. Mainframe computer is best platform to execute millions of
transactions in every single second. So mainframe computers are used in the large scale
organization, because they have to need for processing the massive data at once in every
second. There are some companies, which are used to mainframe computer system such as
Wallmart, HSBN, Indial Railways, ICICI and HDFC banks, Tesco, Kenya Power,
Vodafone, AIG, Coca Cola, RBI, DHL, FORD, NASDAQ, Nike, Tata, Travelport, UPS,
USA Pstal Services, and more.

4. MICRO - Microcomputer was formerly a commonly used term for personal computers,
particularly any of a class of small digital computers whose CPU is contained on a single
integrated semiconductor chip. Thus, a microcomputer uses a single microprocessor for its
CPU, which performs all logic and arithmetic operations.

What is example of micro computer?

Modern desktop computers, video game consoles, laptops, tablet PCs, and many types of
handheld devices, including mobile phones, pocket calculators, and industrial embedded
systems, may all be considered examples of microcomputers according to the definition
given above.

What is Computer System?
It is an integrated form of different components that work together to give a desirable result. It
has different component and each works for a specific purpose; however, they generate a common
result as required by the user.

Components of Computer System

1. Hardware - It is The physical components collectively form the hardware of a computer

system. Hardware comprises of the equipment that helps in the working system of the
computer.

Different Types of Hardware Components

 Monitor - It displays (visual) the result.

 CPU − It is the Central Processing Unit that controls the computer’s functions and
transmits data.
 Motherboard − It is mainly accountable to establish communication between
components and transmission of information.

 RAM − It is the Random Access Memory and responsible for the storage of
programs that are currently running and also stores data temporarily.
 Hard Disk Drive − It is a permanent memory storage device.
 Floppy Disk Drive − It is hardly being used in recent times.
 Optical disks − It is a device that also store data. For example, CD, DVD, etc.

INPUT DEVICES
 Mouse
 Keyboard
 Scanner
 Microphone
 Camera

OUTPUT DEVICE
 Monitor
 Printer
 Projector
 Speaker
 Earphone

Processing Devices
When a computer receives data from an input device (e.g., keyboard), the data goes through an
intermediate stage before it's sent to an output device (e.g., monitor). A processing device is any
device inside a computer that interprets and manipulates incoming data during this stage.it also
handle the storage and retrieval of the information.
In the Computer, processing devices play major role in the processing operations. These devices
are used to process the data with using of instructions from the program.

Memory Devices
GPU stands for “Graphics Processing Unit” that is a computer integrated chip that helps to render
the graphics and images with using of performing rapid mathematical calculation. It is used for both
purposes in personal and professional computing. GPU has responsibility for getting to render 2D
and 3D images, video and animations.
Due to high-computational ability of GPU, it is able to accelerate the machine learning.GPU
allows to improve the performance for video editing and creation because parallel processing of a
GPU is getting to render of graphic and video with high definition.Due to better performance of
GPU, it is used in cryptocurrencies and bitcoin.GPU has two variants like as integrated and discrete.
Integrated GPU is installed alongside the CPU, where as discrete GPU is mounted on the separate
circuit board.

MICROPROCESSOR - is a heart of the computer that is installed as a single integrated circuit

inside the computer. It has responsible for performing all arithmetic and logical operations.

SOUND CARD - a hardware component of computer that is installed on the motherboard, and it
delivers the audio input and output capabilities. Mostly, sound card has at least single analog line
input and one stereo line output connection.

MODULES FOR AisPRE10

Credits : 3 units (3 hours/week)

Pre-Requisite : 4th year standing

I. Lesson Title:

System and Application SOftware

II. Learning Objectives:

By the end of the class, student will be able to learn the System and Application Software

III. Lectures and Annotations:

Overview of Software

As you know, the hardwaredevices needuser instructions tofunction.Asetof instructions that

achieve a singleoutcome are calledprogram or procedure. Many programs functioning together
todoa task make a software. For example, a word-processing software enables theuser tocreate, edit
and savedocuments.A web browser enables theuser toview andshare web pages and multimedia
files.

WHAT IS A SOFTWARE?

A software is an interface between user and computer. It is a set of instructions, programs that are
used to give command to hardware. It is responsible for controlling, integrating and managing the
hardware components of a computer system and for accomplishing specific tasks.

1. System Software aids theuser andthe hardware to function andinteract with eachother.
Basically, it is a software to manage computer hardware behavior soas to provide basic
functionalities that are requiredby theuser. In simple words, we can say that system software
is an intermediatoror a middle layer between theuser andthe hardware.

Example of System Software

3|Page
 2. OPERATINGSYSTEM It is the most prominent example of System Software. It is a
collection of software that handles resources and provides general services for the other
applications that run over them (Android, CentOS, iOS, Linux, Mac OS, MS Windows,
Ubuntu, and Unix).

3. DEVICEDRIVERS It is a type of software that controls particular hardware which is

attached to the system. Hardware devices that need a driver to connect to a system include
displays, sound cards, printers, mice and hard disks. Further, there are two types of device
drivers. (DisplayDrivers MotherboardDrivers PrinterDrivers ROM Drivers Sound
cardDriver MacUSBDrivers USBDrivers VGADrivers VGADrivers BIOSDRIVER
VirtualDeviceDrivers OS MS Windows Ubuntu Unix)

4. FIRMWARE is the permanent software that is embedded into a read-only memory. It is a

set of instructions permanently stored on a hardware device. It provides essential
information regarding how the device interacts with other hardware. Firmware can be
considered as ‘semi- permanent’ as it remains permanent unless it is updated using a
firmware updater. Some examples of firmware are: BIOS Computer Peripherals Consumer
Applications Embedded Systems and UEFI.

Programming Language Translators:

These are mediator programs on which software programs rely to translate high-level language
code to simpler machine-level code. Besides simplifying the code, the translators also do the
following : Assign data storage
Enlist source code as well as program details
Offer diagnostic reports
Rectify system errors during the runtime
Examples of Programming Language Translators are Interpreter, Compiler and Assemblers.

5. UTILITY SOFTWARE is designed to aid in analyzing, optimizing, configuring and

maintaining a computer system. It supports the computer infrastructure. This software
focuses on how an OS functions and then accordingly it decides its trajectory to smoothen
the functioning of the system. Softwares like antiviruses, disk cleanup & management tools,
compression tools, defragmenters, etc are all utility tools. Some examples of utility tools are:
Avast Antivirus Directory Opus McAfee Antivirus Piriform CCleaner Razer Cortex
Windows File Explorer WinRAR and WinZip.
6. Application Software, also known as end-user programs or productivity programs are
software that helps the user in completing tasks such as doing online research, jotting down
notes, setting an alarm, designing graphics, keeping an account log, doing calculations or
even playing games. They lie above the system software. Unlike system software, they are
used by the end-user and are specific in their functionality or tasks and do the job that they
are designed to do.

Here are various types of application software:

 Word Processors: These applications for documentation. Along with that it also
helps I storing, formatting and printing of these documents. Some examples of word
processors are: Abiword Apple iWork-Pages Corel WordPerfect GoogleDocs and
MS Word.
 Multimedia Software: It is the software that is able toplay, createor recordimages,
audioorvideo files. They areusedforvideoediting, animation, graphics, andimage editing,
Some examplesof Multimedia Software are: Adobe Photoshop Inkscape Media Monkey
Picasa VLC Media Player Windows Media Player Windows and Movie Maker.
 Education andReference Software: These typesof software are
specificallydesignedtofacilitate learningon a particular subject. There arevarious kindsof
tutorial software that fallunder this category. They are alsotermedas academic
4|Page
 software. Some examples are: DeltaDrawing GCompris Jumpstart titles KidPix MindPlay
Tux Paint.
 Database Software: This software isusedtocreate and manage adatabase. It is also
known as theDatabase Management System orDBMS. They help with theorganization
of data. Some examplesofDBMS are: Clipper dBase FileMaker FoxPro MSAccess and
MySQL.
 Graphics Software:As the name suggests,Graphics Software has been devisedto work
with graphics as it helps theuser toeditor make changes in visualdataor images. It
comprisesof picture editors andillustration software. Some examples are: Adobe
Photoshop Blender Carrara Modo and PaintShop Pro.
 Web Browsers: These applications areusedtobrowse the internet. They help theuser in
locating andretrievingdata across the web. Some examplesof web browsers are: Google
Chrome Internet Explorer Microsoft Edge Mozilla Firefox Opera Safari and UC Browser.

The software can also be classified based on their availability and sharability.
1. Freeware Freeware software is available without any cost. Any user can download it from the internet
and use it without paying any fee.
2. Shareware It is a software that is freely distributed to users on a trial basis. It usually comes with a
time limit and when the time limit expires, the user is asked to pay for the continued services.
3. Open-source These kinds of software are available to users with the source code which means that a
user can freely distribute and modify the software and add additional features to the software.
