CONTENTS
Instead of teaching the different information technologies separated from each other they are looked upon as multimedia-systems or database-systems in which we consider both psyhchological and sociological as well as technological aspects. In an integrated framework the following aspects are considered
- the theoretical aspects of information and knowledge
- the theoretical fundamentals of IT
- the exposition of IT artefacts by multimedia, expert systems and databases
- theoretical exposition concerning the use of IT in a social context due to multimodal theory
- theoretical evaluation of IT artefacts concerning its possibilities and limitations

TEACHING
The course will comprise lectures, demonstrations, tutorials and laboratory sessions. The demonstrations will be designed to illustrate the lecture materials and present a range of different information technologies in a visual, interactive way throughout the series. Students will have opportunity to experience these at first hand and reflect upon their experience. They will also be required to plan and undertake a piece of work in the laboratory which they will be required to present.

EXAMINATION
