IDS 403Final Project Part Two Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

This course explores technology and its impact on the world around us. Technology influences society, and society influences technology, creating afeedback loop between them. We will critically analyze this feedback loop in this course through social, historical, and theoretical approaches to technology as well as the four general education lenses: history, humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences. Each of these four perspectives allows us to better understand the construction of technology and its interrelation with society. From this enhanced understanding, you will be equipped to draw connections between technology, society, and your personal and professional lives, helping you to become a better-informed citizen who can make a positive difference in the world.Issues and events in technology have a pervading influence on many aspects of society, and how they are dealt with requires diverse knowledge and perspectives to investigate and change. The purpose of this project is to examine a specific issue or event in technologyand how it impacts individuals and society through the development of a critical analysis portfolio and a presentation in which you will demonstrate your ability to think critically, investigate, and communicate clearly. These skills are often necessary to achieve personal and professional goals across many disciplines.In this assignment,you will demonstrateyour mastery of the following course outcomes: Analyze the evolving role of technology in one’s discipline of study or chosen profession by investigating the influence of technology on modern culture[IDS-403-01]Integrate interdisciplinary approaches for determining how technology affects modern identity in personal and professional contexts[IDS-403-02]Explain how technology influences modern society by employing appropriate research strategies[IDS-403-03]Recommend strategies for utilizing current technology to meet personal and professional goals[IDS-403-04]Articulate informed viewpoints on how technology shapes the world and can influence change using effective communication skills[IDS-403-05]Assess the impact of emerging technologies on societal issues for incorporating diverse perspectives and viewpoints informed by relevant literature and interpersonal experiences[IDS-403-06]PromptFor thesecond partofthisproject,youwill develop amultimedia presentationinwhich youwill haveachancetoreflectonwhatyou havelearned about your issue or event,yourself,andsocietythrough analyzing itsimpacton technology.
