French term or phrase: action informatique
This term is on a school transcript under 'subjects'. It is the 'action' part that has mystified me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for all your suggestions. I will go with 'computer skills' because 'Act.' seems to suggest more the 'skills' than the 'studies'.
