1.3 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting is a logical, systematic search to determine the source of a problem and how to fix it. Developing this competency involves ...

  • Learning to recognize and generalize from patterns in technology-related problems.
  • Learning to diagnose problems in complex systems by eliminating potential variables and interactions between variables.
  • Developing a “toolkit” of broadly applicable strategies for diagnosing and solving common problems like checking system requirements, clearing your browser cache, trying a different browser, seeing if classmates have the same problem, etc.
