Digital noesis studies how digitization and digital technology affect human knowing.
Using spoken language as the base, technologies such a writing, print, and electronically mediated communication affect the manner in which humans know themselves and their world. Digital noesis studies this process. Responsibility for the success of this class is shared by all of us. Each is expected to be fully prepared and to participate productively in class discussions. This means that if the discussion topic is a reading, or a group of readings, each member will have read the materials prior to the class time assigned and will be prepared to discuss the material knowledgeably.
