I'll second that. High school aged students already know much of what is taught in 1st year and even some 2nd year university classes on information technology and e-commerce. But many need to develop their ability to assess the veracity of information & sources, their ability to synthesize, analyse and develop coherent conclusions. [This of course is a generalisation as many students do indeed develop these skills well before entering university.]
