Course description, according to the syllabus:
"Exploration of the nature of information and technology in information-intensive environments. Topics to be addressed include information lifecycle processes such as production, storage, sharing, and consumption; social, cultural, economic, legal, and technological contexts for understanding information processes; the roles of information professionals and agencies, and their place in the larger information marketplace; and current and emerging information technologies that shape the information economy" (Scheidt, 2017).
Goals of this assignment:
"Data project that will involve all members of the class working as a group to collectively create an information resource (topic to be determined). This project stretches over three weeks of the course. Throughout this process, students will have a chance to get an overview of different stages of information production, distribution and consumption. Students will be assessed based on their group work and individual contribution. Individual contribution for grading purposes will be to write a short paper that reflects on the process and analyzes the resulting product" (Scheidt, 2017).
