Detailed Information
IS10010 - Intro. to Information and Social Computing (Audit)* - 2017
Information science and social computing influence our everyday lives, yet we rarely take notice or attempt to understand their influence. This module will introduce students to the concepts associated with information science and social computing and associate them with everyday life. Students will gain an understanding of the terms and concepts, as well as demonstrate how they can be applied in everyday life and careers. While many who enroll in this module may not go on to major in information studies, the useful skills gained in this module can be applied to a number of other areas of interest.
