IS40030

In this seminar module, students explore theoretical foundations and research regarding how people interact with people and information, importantly including how they identify, access, create, communicate or share, and use information. In addition, they consider how theories and research results apply to the design of effective information services and information systems in a variety of contexts, e.g., workplace, educational, health care, personal, and leisure settings. Students will have the opportunity to discuss research and workplace application with researchers from the field and within the school, as well as industry and business experts.
