That may be less true today, but the disconnect between being aware of these concepts and/or terms and teaching students to be able ...

Sustainable Development and Information Technology

Information Technologies model the reality in such a way that information on it can be efficiently found and transported to the decision makers in a useful, readable form. There is still a need of standardization of nomenclatures, interchanging of formats and languages in order to accelerate the communicability of information so it can be useful for any decision maker or for the public. But thi...
