ITIS 5353: Social Technology Design

University of North Carolina, Charlotte

Social media platforms such as Wikipedia, Facebook, TikTok, Discord, Twitch, and YouTube are among the most popular in the world. They feature some of the most interesting social interactions and social dynamics that continue to fascinate computing and informatics researchers. This course will examine designs for these and other technologies, principles of online communities, and the social impact of spending at least part of our lives online. Graduate students will help lead in-class activities and discussion. They also will summarize and reflect on online readings, give presentations, and complete 2-3 assignments and a small-group project. This course does not require any technical or design experience. However, skills in statistical data analysis, machine learning, programming, social-behavioral sciences, or interaction design are a plus.
