About
About the course
Course content
Social media, Computer supported cooperative Work (CSCW); coordination; shared workspaces; support for cooperation among mobile users; design and evaluation of cooperative technologies; use of cooperation technologies in different contexts.
Learning outcome
The course is designed to give students a basic knowledge of social media and computer supported cooperative work (CSCW). This knowledge will allow students to compare and choose different solutions for supporting social interaction and cooperative work as well as to design new technologies. Students will also improve their cooperation skills in computer mediated situations and understanding of technology mediation.
Learning methods and activities
The course is a combination of lectures and project work. The students will work on their project during the semester, including seminars to support project work.
Further on evaluation
Evaluation is based on a group project during the semester (50%) and a final written exam (50%) Both the exam and the project must be passed to pass the course.
All students in the group normally receive the same grade based on the group submission. In special cases where a student has not contributed sufficiently, the student may be given an individual grade based on documented lack of effort and/or workload.
Continuation and voluntary repetition/improvement can be carried out for some partial assessments without the need to retake all partial assessments in the course.
In the event of voluntary repetition, fail (F) or valid absence, the entire project must be retaken in a semester with teaching.
The re-sit examination for the school exam is held in August. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral.
