What could
digital formation
mean at Boston College?
At the Center for Digital Innovation in Learning, we're exploring ways to make our digital selves are part of educating the whole person.
Why We Think It Matters
Values
Many of technologies don't have our best interests in mind.
We think our technologies should help support our values, especially when it comes to learning.
Purpose
We're already being formed by the technologies in our lives.
We think we should be intentional about how we let our digital environments shape us.
Attention
We live in an extractive attention economy that exploits our weakness for financial gain.
We think attention is sacred and we need alternative attention economies to protect it.
What We Think We Need
Design Principles
that help us align our use of technology with our values of formative education.
Learning Patterns
that allow us to share what's working across across campus
Humane Technology
A learning technology ecosystem that supports a sustainable and healthy economy of attention
