Section Information for Spring 2013
This course, which satisfies the university's IT requirement, prepares students to use and understand a wide variety of current and emerging digital technologies—everything from basic office software to more complex services such as databases and digital maps. The course teaches the fundamentals of information technology within the context of a history course rather than as a set of abstract principles or discrete skills tied to particular software packages. We will also spend time on ethics for historians in the digital age and the importance the challenges posed by the trade-offs between open source/open access in the humanities on the one hand and the need for data security on the other. Students will learn both the fundamentals and skills and something about how we as a society became so enamored of and dependent on these knowledge and information tools.View 1 Other Section of this Course in this Semester »
