Curriculum Fit |
This
will be an upper division course for a proposed minor in Social
Informatics. We expect it to attract
students interested in understanding the role that information and
communication technology (ICT) plays in both virtual and real
communities. This course will also
provide the broader intellectual foundation for participation in the
Community Informatics internship. |
