Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Knowledge representation in theory and practice including conceptual models and data models.
• Basic concepts, technologies and methods for knowledge management.
• Principles, methods and techniques for the design and evaluation of user environments for computer-aided interaction and collaboration, and knowledge exchange.
