Planning to teach "Information Technology and the Network Society," on behalf of WUaS, this autumn 2014 beginning in September on Harvard's virtual island (not on Harvard's faculty) in Second Life as well as in Google + Hangouts ... paralleling last autumn 2013's course ...


This course asks:

What is information technology, broadly conceived? How did it develop? Who did it? What has been the process of diffusion into the economy and society? How and why did the Network Society take shape? What of the implications of networks in the Information Age? In this course, we’ll analyze the interaction between society and contemporary information technologies, in a multicultural and comparative perspective. In doing so, we’ll examine what data and evidence are in the social sciences, how it is used, and how it is interpreted.



This course is free, open and a fascinating exploration of the IT revolution ...

Here are some links from last year for your planning purposes ...
