This assignment is a chance for you to make a case for an issue, problem, phenomenon, question or other interest that can be explored through an analysis of digital/virtual communication. This topic will culminate at the end of the quarter with the Digital Advocacy project. Please prepare 400-500 words on:
a.) the topic and its background (20 pts);
b.) how your understanding of the topic has been enhanced by the class’s study of digital communication (hint - use of glossary terminology is a plus!) (20 pts);
c.) how the topic might be treated (differently) through either a technological determinist lens or a social constructionist lens (this may hint at which side of the spectrum you come down on, but be open to exploring both) (20 pts);
d.) your vision for creating a future Digital Advocacy campaign (be sure to include how you can invite other digital citizens to take action on behalf of this issue through your campaign) (20 pts);
*Writing style (including grammar, spelling, etc) and correct format of citations are worth 20 pts.
Due 1.26.15 by 11:59pm (in hard copy or digital via email)
