Digital Identity
Digital Tattoo – UBC
UBC’s Digital Tattoo project is designed to “raise questions, provide examples and links to resources to encourage you to think about your presence online, navigate the issues involved in forming and re-forming your digital identity and learn about your rights and responsibilities as a digital citizen”. The easy-to-navigate site features a series of self-assessments, quizzes, and games exploring the following themes: Protect, Connect, Learn, Work, and Publish.
As the folks over at UBC point out, “It’s really just all about making informed decisions and your own decisions”.
Faculty will want to explore the Digital Tattoo Curriculum – a rich library of teaching resources which can be used and adapted for their own content.
