The Internet is a corpus of knowledge and information exchanges between very heterogeneous actors (associations, scientists, public institutions, companies, journalists, etc). It is a question here of making it possible to the students to develop a critical expertise on the formats of information made available and their circulation.
This expertise comes in support to the use of the Web as resource to update networks of actors and to map them.
The course deals with the functionning of the Internet, the search engines; but also with instruments of management of this information.
An introduction to collaboratives approaches through specific platforms will be made.
The seminar allow the student to explore a controversy through a research targeted on a given environmental problem.
