CS6: Data Communication and Networking

Communication is one of the fundamental aspects of life. In this regard, electronic communication means have been developed on top of the traditional manual and mechanical modes of communication for individuals and organisations to communicate more effectively. A person can now communicate through contemporary media like mobile phones and over the internet. It is therefore important that learners are introduced to basic data communication and ICT networking infrastructure and services in order to come to terms with contemporary data communication facilities. Learning Outcome: The learner should develop basic skills, knowledge and expertise in the use of contemporary communication facilities like computers, mobile telephones, the Internet, among others.
