A seminar series in the PREST MSc course, co-ordinated by Ian Miles
This page contains material associated with the Information Society course. (More details about PREST MSc and PhD courses at the PREST website.) It will be expanded as more material becomes available.
At the outset, it contains the Powerpoint presentations associated with the course (still being mounted at the time of writing: links will be added as the pages are prepared). These contain a lot more colour and animation than the millennium ediition, and are therefore in a powerpoint format.
The page also contains links to material associated with the course, e.g. questionnaires and special hand-outs.
