Course Outcomes

In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:

Analyze the evolving role of technology in one's discipline of study or chosen profession by inves�ga�ng the influence of technology on modern culture

Integrate interdisciplinary approaches for determining how technology affects modern iden�ty in personal and professional contexts

Explain how technology influences modern society by employing appropriate research strategies

Recommend strategies for u�lizing current technology to meet personal and professional goals

Ar�culate informed viewpoints on how technology shapes the world and can influence change using effec�ve communica�on skills

Assess the impact of emerging technologies on societal issues for incorpora�ng diverse perspec�ves and viewpoints informed by relevant literature and interpersonal

experiences

Overview

This course explores technology and its impact on the world around us. Technology influences society and society influences technology, crea�ng a feedback loop between them. You

will cri�cally analyze a feedback loop in this project through social, historical, and cultural approaches to technology with the aid of the four general educa�on lenses: history,

humani�es, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences. From this enhanced understanding, you will be equipped to draw connec�ons among technology, self, and society. These

skills are o�en necessary to achieve personal and professional goals across many disciplines.

Direc�ons

For this project, you will write a 10-page paper that examines a social, cultural, or global event where a technology plays a significant role. In the paper, you will describe your chosen

technology and event, construct a thesis statement, perform a cri�cal analysis that makes use of at least one of the general educa�on lenses, and reflect on how your analysis can

inform your personal life and experience. You will demonstrate your ability to think cri�cally, inves�gate, and communicate clearly.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Evidence: You will use evidence to support your analysis throughout the project.

A. Integrate reliable evidence from varied sources throughout your paper to support your analysis. Use at least two resources from the Module Resources sec�ons of this

course and two resources that you find through your own research using the Shapiro Library.

i. It is important to draw from a more diverse pool of perspec�ves from varied sources to support the analysis. This is different from the Cita�ons and A�ribu�ons

rubric criterion.

ii. Reliable evidence from varied sources should be interwoven throughout the paper itself, while ci�ng and a�ribu�ng sources will be represented as APA in-text

cita�ons and a reference list at the end of your work.

iii. You will be evaluated on both criteria.

2. Technology and Event Descrip�on: In this sec�on, you will iden�fy and discuss the factors that shape your thesis statement.

A. Describe a social, cultural, or global event where a technology plays a significant role. Include informa�on such as how the event originated and what it is about.

B. Describe the technology significant to this event. Include informa�on such as what the technology does and how it may help influence change.

C. Assess the societal or cultural influences of the technology involved in the event.

D. Explain your choice of general educa�on interdisciplinary lens for analyzing the technology and its role in the event.

E. Construct a thesis statement that combines your event, the technology, the societal or cultural influences, and choice of general educa�on interdisciplinary lens.

3. Cri�cal Analysis: In this sec�on, you will analyze your technology’s role in the event using one of the general educa�on lenses and recommend strategies for using this kind of

analysis to meet your personal and professional goals.

A. Analyze your technology’s role in the event through one of the general educa�on interdisciplinary lenses to determine the technology’s impact on various ins�tu�ons.

B. Analyze how social prac�ces have been shaped by the technology involved in the event.

C. Describe at least one limita�on of the technology involved in the event that could benefit from change.

D. Recommend strategies to address the limita�ons of the technology involved in the event.

E. Assess at least two significant factors that could affect how individuals understand the role of technology in the event, such as biases, beliefs, assump�ons, and/or

values.

F. Assess the benefits and challenges of cri�cally analyzing technology in society.

G. Recommend strategies for using this kind of cri�cal analysis for mee�ng your personal goals.

i. What might this look like in your everyday life? Consider how cri�cally analyzing technology influence on a par�cular event can be used to address day-to-day

responsibili�es.

4. Reflec�on: In this sec�on, you will describe how using cri�cal analysis tools influences your personal experience, your field of study or profession, and how you interact with

others.

A. Describe how cri�cally analyzing a technology’s role in an event has informed your individual framework of percep�on.

i. Consider how it has altered the way you perceive the world.

B. Describe how examining your bias may alter the way you use or don’t use certain technologies.

i. Reflect on your own bias, then consider how an awareness of one’s bias can change how one interacts with technology.

C. Explain how cri�cally analyzing a technology’s role in your event can influence your field of study or profession.

i. How can studying technology inform your understanding of the next big topic of study in your field or profession?

D. Explain at least one way in which your analysis might have been different had you used one of the other general educa�on lenses to analyze the technology’s role in

your event.

E. Explain how analyzing the technology’s role in your event can help interac�ons with those of a different viewpoint, culture, and perspec�ve.
