Information Processing, as described by Alberta Learning, "helps students develop knowledge and skills relating to computer technologies in six areas: systems management, text/data input, productivity software, applied processing, programming, and emerging technologies."
Alberta Learning further describes Information Processing as "representing the study of electronic technologies as they apply to personal use and the business environment. As we move more rapidly into the information age, it is crucial that students are able to use electronic technologies to access and manipulate information in an efficient manner. Accurate, timely information is the basis for sound decision making and effective communication. As students build confidence in their understanding of the various information processing tools and procedures, they will be able to transfer their knowledge and skill to a wide range of contexts. Students will also be better able to adapt to the continual changes caused by the evolving technologies."
The above statements, you could say, are the reasons for registering in such a course.
