CIS2 Computers and the Internet in Society
A critical examination of the capabilities and uses of modern computers and how they are changing business, law, politics, and society. Course format is question-based student-led discussions and collaborative group projects.
CIS2 Computers and the Internet in Society is a GE course. This is the online distance learning section. The course includes lots of reading, discussing, critical thinking, and web-based research. CIS2 is concerned primarily with the uses of technology (good and bad) and issues for society. We cover everything from accessibility for people with disabilities to identity theft. We discuss and research the impact of technology on computer crime, copyright, education, medicine, business and ethical issues.
