Descriptif

The importance of the World Wide Web and digital technologies is more evident now than ever. And yet there is little attention brought to the existing Digital Divide among different demographics and different regions. The concept of Digital Divide has been evolving and relates to the limited access to the Internet, the level of technological and information-related skills, and available infrastructure and use of online technologies. In the world that is constantly connected it is crucial to understand how to become and how to be digitally empowered and how to bridge the existing gaps. We will approach the Digital Divide issue from three focal points: society, business, and individual. Every topic will be addressed with a practical project, individual or in a team. The students will identify the factors that lead to Digital Divide, will recognize existing and developing methods to reduced the Digital Divide, and will apply the existing solutions to real-life situations.
