KMD1002H — Applications in Knowledge Media
Knowledge media are systems incorporating computer and communications technology that enhance human thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, and learning. Examples include the Web, email, instant messaging, blogging systems, knowledge management systems, digital libraries, collaborative virtual environments, video conferencing environments, and webcasting systems.
This course will focus on addressing a design problem specific to an industry or government client. Note that the design problem and client(s) will change from year to year as this course will always incorporate a partner from outside the university. Students will be introduced to the partner and will work in teams, drawing on their subject expertise. More information about KMD courses can be found here.
