Module One

In this module you are going to learn about how computers work to store and manipulate data, including how we can perform some simple actions upon this data. By learning to perform the actions ourselves, we can figure out what is happening when things don't work. You will also learn how computers store sound files.

To keep things up to date, you will learn about some of the most exciting current technologies, robotics and artificial intelligence. These fourth industrial revolution technologies are becoming more and more important; this chapter will show how these are used in the travel industry.

You should work through each topic, reading your coursebook, completing the activities and watching any videos. At the end of each topic you will review your understanding. You will also find optional support if you need it or extension activities if you would like an extra challenge.
