Information Technology in a Global Society (ITGS)

Taught in: Year 12 - 13
Exam Board: IBO

This course involves the study and evaluation of the impacts of information technology (IT) on individuals and society. It explores the advantages and disadvantages of the access to and use of digitised information at the local and global level.

ITGS provides a framework for the student to make informed judgments and decisions about the use of IT within social contexts. The ITGS framework is modelled on a ‘triangle’. It uses an integrated approach, encouraging students to question the role of information and communication technologies in contemporary society.

The course is composed of three strands, with interrelating topics within each:
  • Social and ethical significance
  • Application to specified scenarios of IT systems
  • IT systems

Students also complete a project that assesses their practical application of IT skills developed during the course.
