The course book has been complemented with articles/chapters focusing on relevant debates, approaches and examples from the informatics field, mainly Information Systems Research and Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW).
Detailed knowledge (beyond what is covered in the lectures) of the readings, marked as ADDITIONAL, will not be required for the exam; they are meant as suggestions for further reading.
