MUP/PLE lecture series Identity: (re-)construction of a digital self Steven Warburton
This event took place on 7th July 2011 at 2:00pm (13:00 GMT)
Knowledge Media Institute, Berrill Building, The Open University, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, MK7 6AA
This presentation will examine identity construction in the age of social media. How do we practically manage our sense of [digital] identity when the boundary between our online selves and our real world selves becomes blurred. What ethical considerations do we need to take account of in the production of the digital self. These and other questions will be explored via a recent project on digital identity that has been using a pattern language framework to uncover and document digital identity related practices.
