Course Content
|
Taking a profoundly interdisciplinary approach, this obligatory course for the IM specialization will take up classic and recent theories that critically examine social aspects of networked communication. The subjects of analysis will be centered upon intranets, mobile communication, and recent developments in social software practices such as (micro) blogging, wiki's, and peer-to-peer sharing. |
|
Teaching Methods
|
|
The course will be run in a study-circle style. Key concepts/theories/approaches will be presented, argued against, and discussed in plenary sessions. This is done in class with the focus on active student participation.
