This online ICS4U course enables students to further develop knowledge and skills in computer
science. Students will use modular design principles to create complex and fully documented programs, according to industry standards. Student teams will manage a large
software development project, from planning through to project review. Students will
also analyse algorithms for effectiveness. They will investigate ethical issues in computing and further explore environmental issues, emerging technologies, areas of research
in computer science, and careers in the field.

This course introduces students to computer science. Students will design software
independently and as part of a team, using industry-standard programming tools
and applying the software development life-cycle model. They will also write and use
subprograms within computer programs. Students will develop creative solutions for
various types of problems as their understanding of the computing environment grows.
They will also explore environmental and ergonomic issues, emerging research in computer science, and global career trends in computer-related fields.
