LTLE 150. Information in Contemporary Society


Credits 3.00 PeopleSoft Course ID 009076

This course critically examines how data and information impact individuals and communities in contemporary society, with a focus on how information technologies mediate what and how we learn and how we interact. Recognizing that individuals and communities need, create and analyze information to function in society, learners will examine the impact of new technologies on topics such as democracy, diversity and social justice. This course is designed to encourage reflection by inviting learners into a deeper discourse about the ethical role of information in society. Note: Will not count as a social science course for teacher licensure.
