Recent years have seen an explosion in the amount of information being published online. Electronic networking and a range of technologies enabling communication have also burgeoned. In today's 'information age' students, researchers, journalists and others need to be online literate. They need to be competent in modern information retrieval skills, and know how to track down experts, participate in relevant online discussions and be aware of the pitfalls involving information found on the Internet.
The second aim of the course addresses these needs.
The students will contribute with their own analyses of intersections of the popular and the scientific in visual communication.
