IntroductionWe propose to design a general education course on Science of Information aimed to develop an “information aware way of think” that provides new approaches to problem solving in daily life to undergraduate students regardless of the major.

Topics• Introduction: Overview and logistics• Information definition in different disciplines:
– mathematical theory of information. – the principle of information conservation in physics.– the biological notion of information. – Syntax vs Semantics.
• Basic concepts: information quantity, entropy, communication theory, noisy channels, etc.

• Information properties and transformations: Mathematical and statistical properties, coding as a transformation.
• Information, determinism, and predictability: a short introduction to complex systems.
• Information and Decision-making: Information as the raw material for decision-making.
Topics

• Information security: An introduction with emphasis on the principles and the strategies and tactics derived from them.
• Information management: An introduction to information (and knowledge management) and how to apply it in the professional exercise.

Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course the students will be able to apply the basic concepts of information science, information security, and information management to their work.

Course Design
Five concerns:– Disciplinary concern.– Pedagogical concern.– Communicative concern.– Technical concern.– Informational concern.
![Page 9: A General Course on Science of Information](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/568134e0550346895d9c15c8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Disciplinary Concern
• The course content must be accurate.
• Different knowledge areas, different ways of think.
• One subject: information science.
![Page 10: A General Course on Science of Information](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/568134e0550346895d9c15c8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pedagogical Concern
• Instructional design: http://www.ieee.org/education_careers/education/ref_guide/index.html
• Challenges: – A general education course.– Freshman course.– Blended learning.– Course analytics.– Learning styles.

Communicative concern
• Visual language.• Bilingual course (English – Spanish).• Cultural aspects: keep it neutral.• User experience.
![Page 12: A General Course on Science of Information](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/568134e0550346895d9c15c8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Technical Concern• Content development vs Content deployment.• Standards:
– Course: IMS-LD, SCORM, HTML5.– Packaging: IMS-CC, SCORM.
• Analytics: xAPI (TinCanAPI).• Preservation.

Informational Concern
How to make the components of the course useful for other courses?
– Metadata: LOM, support for SoI ontology.
– Using IMS-LS to pack small units.
– Licensing: Creative Commons.
– Educational resources repository.
– Experience API.

Development Team• Course design:
– Juan G. Lalinde-Pulido (SoI).– Claudia Zea (courseware
design).– Patricia Toro (Pedagogical
support).
• Support team (Proyecto 50)– Graphical designer.– Communicator.– Translator.– Content Reviewer.

Current status• Legal and administrative:
– Contract is signed.– The course is approved by the dean of
engineering.– In two weeks will be submitted to the academic
council for approval.
• Course design– Instructional design in process.– Teacher and student guide for each topic is been
developed.
