Learning outcomes

Digital technologies are ubiquitous nowadays and have become part of all areas of economic and social life. Information and communication systems are used to obtain information from data and subsequently optimise business decisions. The aim of this course is to introduce students to the technological basics of information and communication systems.

The students know the basic terms of information technology and digitalisation and can use cloud-based collaboration tools and assess their field of application. They have an understanding of the mathematical foundations of information technology (number systems and propositional logic) and can understand and explain the functioning and components of software, hardware and network technology and their interaction. In addition, students can explain the difference between programming and markup languages and know the basic structures of markup languages and can create simple HTML pages and integrate design frameworks.
