23: This course will introduce the foundations for Digital and Social Systems (DSS).  As computing is 
24: changing our lives, this transformation is shaped not only by technology but also by how people 
25: express themselves, how they think, how they interact with computational artifacts, and how 
26: they collaborate with other humans. The broad-based research area of DSS will prepare students 
27: to contribute to this accelerating global process. Students will learn about, design, develop, and 
28: assess socio-technical environments that tie together technology with communication, 
29: collaboration, and other social processes to address the challenges and opportunities of our 
30: future world. 
31: 
32: The course will cover practice and research in human computer interaction, design of interactive 
33: systems, computer supported cooperative work, computer supported collaborative learning, 
34: educational technology, tools that support creativity, user-developed knowledge collections, and 
35: gaming.

42: CSCI 4412 taught jointly with CSCI-5412: "Design, Creativity and New Media" 
43: This course will explore the design of new media and technologies to support design and 
44: creativity. It will analyze design and creativity as human activities of fundamental importance in 
45: the networked information culture and economy. It will provide theoretical and practical analysis 
46: of new media. Prerequisites: Consent of instructor or CSCI 3002 / CSCI 7000-003.
