From Wikiversity

Welcome to the School of Information technology!
Part of Engineering and Technology.
The School of Information Technology is moderately integrated with the School of Computer Science

Information Technology (IT) is a field concerned with the use of technology in managing and processing information. IT provides supports the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and retrieve information. IT is a field which aids in making useful and sustainable the technology which Computer Science provides.

Note: more than one Wikiversity school can 'contain' departments that are 'contained' by "Topic:Information Technology"; schools should cooperate to develop the departments that they have in common. No turf wars should be fought over "ownership" of departments. See: Naming conventions.

School News

Note: Wikiversity has "Wikiversity participants" who edit webpages. Participants of a school should state their goals and interests and get to work creating learning materials and learning projects. Wikiversity participants do not adopt titles. Just say what you are trying to do and then do it.

  • September 29, 2006 - School founded!
  • January 10, 2007 - School redesigned!
  • January 10, 2007 - Richard2me, joins! - I am working on the basic framework for content in this school
  • July 15, 2008 - Paulmartin42 04:43, 15 July 2008 (UTC) joins
  • August 28, 2008 - Grovermj 10:59, 28 August 2008 (UTC) joins. If I have some motivation, time and help I hope to organise this school and add content!

Recommended Prior Experience

The course of study of the Computer Programming department is an extremely valuable precursor to exploring Information Technology.

That course of study should leave you with a basic perception of how computer technology works, which is extremely valuable in solving problems related to computers, which is a very common thing when dealing with Information Technology.

Information technology is the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and securely retrieve information.

Now, people have been using it with many other words from computing and other electronical words. It now covers many more fields of study than it has covered in the past.
