The changing role of information and communication technology (ICT) in organizations ought to be of interest, notably with respect to the workforce and the workplace. Three learning outcomes might have to do with (a) the evolution of ICT (What?); (b) consequences from the use of ICT (So What?); and (c) the leveraging of ICT in agile organizations (Now What?).

You better focus on the basics (Hardware and software) followed by communication and collaboration using the technology.

Thanks Lemma Lessa!

Dear Dr. Safir!

I would start planning from a functional role of ICT in organizations and after that the process view of ICT in organizations. The third part of this course could deal with cases - how companies, etc use ITC today:

Yours sincerely, Bulcsu Szekely

Thanks for the detailed and complete answer Bulcsu!

By starting with the important topics,the basic(hard&soft ware),communication&collaboration technology,i think it will be covered in this short period of time.

Iagree with Lemma Lessa.

Avoid the tendency to see ICT just as tools to be mastered but rather developing skills needed in the workplace like collaboration and critical thinking with the ICT tools as a means toward this end. If you are in an educational context, apply the Blooms DigitalTaxonomy in identifying the possible technology for achieving your objectives as explained in this resource:
