SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives:

This course aims to enable students to analyze emerging technologies in communication in their technical, cultural, and theoretical dimensions and to provide a comprehensive perspective that allows them to critically evaluate the social impacts of these technologies.

Course Content:

This course begins with a conceptual introduction to new communication technologies, covering the evolution of communication over networks, internet and web infrastructure, platformization and the formation of digital ecosystems, algorithm- and artificial intelligence-based communication systems, mobile technologies and portable interfaces transforming everyday communication norms, human-machine interaction and simulation logic, digital game technologies, streaming and livestreaming culture, metaverse and XR-based virtual spaces, cloud computing and distributed systems, the Internet of Things and smart communication systems, Web 3.0 and decentralization debates, and utopian, dystopian, and speculative technology approaches to yet-to-be-realized forms of communication. It examines technical infrastructures alongside cultural and theoretical discussions.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:



Knowledge *(Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)*
1) Students can analyze new communication technologies in their technical, theoretical, and conceptual dimensions.
2) Students can critically evaluate the effects of new communication technologies on communication and society.
Skills *(Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)*
Competences *(Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)*
