i need to introduce myself and a problem. I am a tutor at Leeds Metropolitan University, UK. The UK has, for the past decade moved into mass Higher Education where students' motives are more diverse than appeared the case 35 years ago when i was a student, or 10 years ago before the student numbers began to rise...
Information Systems is my area of study. This 'field' has, i believe understandably, been criticised for its lack of critique. Graduates and professionals in the field have been criticised for being insensitive to users requirements, failing to design systems that meet users needs...
Consequently i want to raise my 50 colleagues' awareness of critical thinking by offering workshops on it. What issues, scenarios or activities would, in your view, be necessary to include in such workshops?
