Information about the course of study
This course is part of the first semester in the bachelor’s degree in Global Business Informatics. 
Læringsmål:After the course the student should be able to:
• Identify and present central matters of concern to communication and media
• Critically asses computer-mediated communication in a global context
• Reflect on challenges and opportunities in computer-mediated communication and their global effects
• Utilize various forms of new media in different contexts
• Apply and discuss methods for planning, conducting and analyzing research interviews 
Fagligt indhold:New media changes the ways in which people, organisations, and businesses communicate and interact. New media increases the speed with which communicative partners are made accessible to one another, and the speed in distributing information. In this view new media allow for faster and more efficient communication on a global scale.

However, new media can also be said to change the ways in which people communicate and interact in a less predictable, yet even more profound way. New media can be viewed as constitutive parts of new communicative practices and not only as a vehicle for communicative efficacy.
In this view interactions between people and new media transform practices in surprising ways, and the technology may have many different ramifications.
Therefore we need to understand and critically investigate new media as constituent parts of particular forms of communication and interaction.

New media is challenging communication and relations within personal interaction, in a business perspective, in the political landscape, in journalism, etc.

Through a practice oriented perspective the objective is thus to introduce to methods and theories that make the students capable of localizing and analysing controversies within new media and communication. 
Læringsaktiviteter:

The course consists of 11 lectures and exercises.

The lectures will focus on reading and discussing theoretical approaches and analyses of the use of digital media. The theoretical material will be discussed up against different kinds of new media.

During the exercises the students will work in groups and investigate various subjects, such as social media or global collaboration technologies, both at an experimental and analytical basis, and discuss and analyze their communicative aspects. The subjects can revolve around a specific technology, such as blogging, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, etc., or the students may chose to focus on a specific communicative genre, such as journalism, social entrepreneurship, business communication, or political communication.

Practical use of new media will be an integrated part of as well investigating as analyzing cases just as they will be used in communicating the research to other students and the world outside. Just as the students will develop an interview guide and conduct interviews both face to face and mediated by various technologies such as Skype or Facebook, in order to learn how people in different cultural settings experience their subject matter. The students will furthermore be practiced in presenting and communicating their research during the course in order to prepare for the oral exam.
