The Course Description This course seeks to answer the following questions; (1) How do changes in the information landscape, and the use of computers in particular, influence education?; and (2) Are these changes for the better? A large part of this course focuses on general cultural changes, and not specifically on education. The course examines the goals of education in a society with easy access to vast resources of information. We will evaluate how the availability of tools that help us "think" and remember influences how we learn, and how we should teach. We will examine how information technologies have influenced business and leisure, and will attempt to determine whether this influence should also be felt in education. |
Target Group Teacher educators, teachers, and policy-makers worldwide. |
