the seminars and guidance for student presentation (2cu)

 

 

information may be defined as the characteristics of the output of a process; these characteristics enhance knowledge, being informative about the process and its input

hierarchies of processes, linked together, provide a communication channel between each of the corresponding functions and layers in the hierarchies

fundamentally information is not modality-specific (i.e. not tied to its form of presentation, be it visually, as sounds or whatever)

but the end user (destination, addressee) for whom the information exists, is a person who is trained to manipulate through modality-specific notions (which are formed by percepts)

therefore, within ‘information technology’ modal aspect of information maybe more essential for development of relations between person and computer *
