Effective decision-making in a virtual environment is becoming increasingly important as more and more organizations introduce virtual teams into their global businesses. Critical thinking is a reflective practice that has been suggested to enhance the quality of group decision-making in organizations (Natale & Ricci, 2006). However, little is known about the value of critical thinking in a virtual team environment and the ways in which it can be promoted. This chapter provides a conceptual model of informed decision-making based on critical thinking. It further outlines how critical thinking can be promoted in virtual teams through an active shift towards a dialogic learning culture, constituted by collaborative communication behaviors, authentic leadership, and the use of social Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).

Dentro de la sociedad de la información y de la comunicación el desarrollo de la competencia informacional entre el alumnado es fundamental, debido a que le permite analizar y gestionar la información que recibe por distintas fuentes. Esto, unido a la aparición de fenómenos como el de las fake news y el desarrollo de las tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación (TIC), hace que hayamos optado por esta temática de estudio. Las preguntas de investigación que nos hemos hecho son las siguientes: cómo se está desarrollando la competencia informacional actualmente, qué efectos tiene un bajo desarrollo de esta competencia y cómo influye el pensamiento crítico en su desarrollo. Para dar respuesta a estas preguntas, nos hemos servido de la revisión sistemática como metodología, analizando un total de 17 artículos extraídos de las bases de datos de la Web Of Science, SCOPUS y Google Scholar. Las conclusiones alcanzadas establecen que la competencia informacional no se está desarrollando de manera adecuada, debido a aspectos como la falta de formación del profesorado o la falta de recursos invertidos. Esto provoca que se tenga que llevar a cabo un cambio de metodología. Además, un bajo desarrollo de esta provoca una serie de efectos negativos, como es el caso de la desinformación. Se concluye estableciendo que el pensamiento crítico es uno de los principales elementos que componen la competencia informacional, siendo este necesario para conseguir un correcto desarrollo de esta competencia y una buena construcción del conocimiento entre el alumnado. Within the information and communication society the development of informational competence among students is essential, because it allows it to analyze and manage the information it receives from different sources. This, coupled with the emergence of phenomena such as fake news and the development of information and communication technologies (ICT), means that we have opted for this topic of study. The research questions we have asked ourselves are as follows: how informational competence is currently developing, what effects a low development of this competence has, and how critical thinking influences its development. To respond to these, we have used the systematic review as a methodology, analyzing a total of 17 articles extracted from the databases of the Web Of Science, SCOPUS and Google Scholar. The conclusions reached state that informational competence is not developing properly, due to aspects such as the lack of teacher training or lack of resources invested, having to carry out a change in methodology, that a low development of Mass causes a series of negative effects, such as misinformation and that critical thinking is one of the main elements that make up the, being this necessary to achieve a correct development of this competence and a good construction of knowledge among students.

If we want to convert our rural population into knowledge driven, progressive, self sufficient, self reliant, sustainable society, the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT’s) cannot be ignored. Timely availability information is considered as most important factor in Indian agriculture. At present ICT is the technology of this millennium. Transferring the developed technology to all end users is time-consuming and tiresome task and is often not completed due to paucity of resources and lack of manpower. In India, agriculture and rural development has gained significantly from ICT due to its widespread extension and adoption. In this era of internet, ICT is committed to provide real, timely accurate authentic information to the farmers and rural peoples.

Borders and bodies are increasingly regulated by data-capturing mechanisms spread across the world through information and communication technologies. This article traces the features and implications of such a border-body datalogical entanglement through the figure of the drug mule. It analyzes government documents and recorded case studies to argue that this figure emerges from an assemblage of cultural narratives, legal structures, human labor, technical practices, and biological processes. The datalogical drug mule is already implicated in a struggle over what, and how, data is meaningful and actionable. Investigating this figure allows us to begin disentangling the data-driven mechanisms that constitute modern borders and bodies while at the same time accounting for analog continuities in contemporary practices of border security.
