Perspectives on Human-Computer Interactions : A Multidisciplinary Approach

This book brings together an international panel of researchers and university teachers from Sweden, Australia and the United States to scrutinize Information Technology from a constructive as well as critical point of view. Since IT has developed more swiftly than most people were able to anticipate a few years ago, many myths still surround its use as a tool for learning and communication. The ideas and critical analyses suggested here may enhance awareness that IT is such an important issue that it should not be left solely in the hands of the specialist. Teachers and students at the college level might use this book to gain new interdisciplinary perspectives on IT and its applications, especially in the fields of learning and communication.
