T175-Networked Living: Exploring Information and Communication Technologies
“Living in a networked world is both exciting and unsettling. We are surrounded by rapidly developing technologies that affect us in many different ways. We use information and communication technologies (ICTs) in our everyday lives, and they underpin the services that we rely on. But do we understand how these systems work? Can we use them effectively? Can we contribute to the debate about their effect on society?” This course will take students on a journey towards understanding information and communication technologies. Students will study examples of ICT systems, learn about the concepts they are based on, and consider the contexts in which they are used. Students will also develop the skills needed to learn effectively about these systems, both in this course and in their further studies. |
