Prerequisite: (None)
The course deals with the impact of computers, information technology, and information systems on us as individuals and on the society we are living in. The widespread use of technologies has changed the way we work, think, and interact with each other. For example, technologies, such as the mobile devices, Facebook, music sharing sites, and Wikis have created a flood of new social, legal, and ethical issues that demand close examination and critical discussion. The course also offers students a modern method of learning through Blended Learning program. With blended-learning, students are given the opportunity to learn by themselves. Part of the required course hours are done by the student at home via the internet instead of physically coming to class. This not only gives students more time to collaborate with other students (through online discussion forums and meting outside class), but also helps students discover their own personalized learning style.
