students do have digital skills, but not necessarily the digital literacy they need to do their schoolwork.
There’s a difference in the way students use a device to scroll through YouTube videos versus understanding the information delivered in a lesson. The first is passive, and the other requires careful engagement.
n the International Literacy Association’s “What’s Hot in Literacy” report published in 2020, 49 percent of literacy professionals said they wanted more professional development on “using digital resources to support literacy instruction.” That surprised the researchers, who also reported that professionals were split over whether digital literacy was receiving the appropriate amount of attention: 26 percent felt it deserved less attention, while 25 percent felt it should get more.

Engineering Management Project (30%)
This purpose of this second group project is to relate the concepts of the text to present organizations. Each Team will select an organization or create an organization and present on that organization. The focus of this project is sustainability, and accounts for 30% of the grade. The presentation will consist of 20 to 30 minutes, a presentation of 10 to slides 20 slides, complete with a 10-15-page paper. The presentation and paper will be due electronically prior to class. Members will be graded on 50% contribution and 50 % presentation. The objective of this exercise is to develop skills in working as a team as well as developing your presentation skills.
The paper shall address the following analysis to the selected organization:
- The firm may a service or manufacturing firm, or one that you create.
- Relate each Chapter of the book (minimum twelve chapter relationships)
- The relationship could be made from a topic within that chapter.
- All projects must be uploaded in D2L/Brightspace by start of class, 9:30 AM, March 30, 2021

- Developing Your Research Topic/Question
Why Keyword Searching?
Why not just type in a phrase or sentence like you do in Google or Yahoo!?
- Because most electronic databases store and retrieve information differently than Internet search engines.
- A databases searches fields within a collection of records. These fields include the information commonly found in a citation plus an abstract (if available) and subject headings. Search engines search web content which is typically the full text of sources.
- The bottom line: you get better results in a database by using effective keyword search strategies.
- To develop an effective search strategy, you need to:
- determine the key concepts in your topic and
- develop a good list of keyword synonyms.
- Why use synonyms?
Because there is more than one way to express a concept or idea. You don’t know if the article you’re looking for uses the same expression for a key concept that you are using.
- Consider: Will an author use:
- Hypertension or High Blood Pressure?
- Teach or Instruct?
- Therapy or Treatment?

Open Access (publishers ARE business). For a small country (university), how much will a publisher pay attention? Will a standard pay attention to OCR a 16th century document.

Pew research: Tech experts believe social media is harming democracy from r/technology
https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2020/02/21/many-tech-experts-say-digital-disruption-will-hurt-democracy/
The years of almost unfettered enthusiasm about the benefits of the internet have been followed by a period of techlash as users worry about the actors who exploit the speed, reach and complexity of the internet for harmful purposes. Over the past four years – a time of the Brexit decision in the United Kingdom, the American presidential election and a variety of other elections – the digital disruption of democracy has been a leading concern.
Some think the information and trust environment will worsen by 2030 thanks to the rise of video deepfakes, cheapfakes and other misinformation tactics.
Power Imbalance: Democracy is at risk because those with power will seek to maintain it by building systems that serve them not the masses. Too few in the general public possess enough knowledge to resist this assertion of power.
EXPLOITING DIGITAL ILLITERACY
danah boyd, principal researcher at Microsoft Research and founder of Data & Society, wrote, “The problem is that technology mirrors and magnifies the good, bad AND ugly in everyday life. And right now, we do not have the safeguards, security or policies in place to prevent manipulators from doing significant harm with the technologies designed to connect people and help spread information.”
