Course Information

Intended learning outcomes

Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools

We work with "Blended Learning". This means that you should be present for 75% of the time. For 15% you get questions to work on at home. So if you cannot be present the whole time, you get the chance to compensate for your absence. For compensation you get additional tasks. Often you also get some questions within the lecture to answer in groups. The discussion within the student groups during the lecure and the output of your discussions is central to our work of reflection. Please contsact für organisation of the lecture: utta.isop@aau.at.

*) Questions to answer individually before or after the lecture (sometimes)

*) Discussions with your colleagues

*) Questions to answer collectively in a working-group during the lecture

*) Tasks for compensation for absences

Course content

“Let there be a digital future,”we say, “but let it be a human future first”, Shoshana Zuboffdemands in her book „The Age of Surveillance Capitalism“. Societies design technologies – technologies design societies. So to develop new technologies means to evolve new social and political processes. The development of surveillance technologies threatens democratic processes as China‘s social-credit-system shows. Edward Snowden showed up the „permanent record“ by the USA‘s secretservices. So is there a chance to encounter Surveillance Capitalism? How can or should technology contribute to a balance between social justice, democracy and freedom that empowers people and minorities? In this lecture we reflect the humanity-machine-connection in the following units: Introduction in technology assessment, Introduction in Gender Studies, Usability and Gender, Usability and Disability,Social-Technology-Systems.
