TechKnowledg-e Day - Innovation for Modern Digital Advancements

On Wednesday April 18, 2018 at the Beirut Campus the School of Business, MIS Department invited the university and wider community to the Innovation for Modern Digital Advancements TechKnowledg-e Day. The School of Business, MIS department was honored to provide a platform for the integration of diversified knowledge management domains within academia and industry, in the endeavor to connect human thoughts in a rapidly changing universe.
The event was an opportunity to make a change within the learning process of our educational institution where active learning allows the mind to be free and in practice to think out of the box. The department launched the MIS Student Chat Bot, which was developed by Tripoli campus students with the support and collaboration of CodenDot.
It is evident that the world is constantly changing with technological advancements creating automation in numerous fields, however what we have come to realize is that although scientific progress strides within the ecosystems it is the art of human intellect that is the fundamental aspect for the development of individuals, organizations, communities, and nations.
The change being made is the implementation of the human emotion within the e-motion of the information system within various domains. The sense of connecting humanity within science crosses boundaries to reach global standards of sharing knowledge.
The following is an overview of the event.
