Evolving a web science curriculum

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

Web Science is an emerging subject, which was formally defined in 2006. Since the inception of Web Science, a number of Web Science taught programs have emerged across the world. Despite this, there are still currently very few attempts to provide a formal curriculum definition for Web Science. This paper outlines a study which explores the scope of Web Science, by examining what is taught as part of Web Science MSc and Undergraduate programs worldwide. This paper presents some initial results of the study, including the most frequently occurring 'key topics' found from an analysis of Web Science taught modules. Plans for future work are then outlined; the ultimate aim of the study being to present a view of Web Science as it is taught across the world.
