New Report - 8 Profiles of Digital Inequalities

Finally, the graphic translation of my conceptual exercise on 8 profiles of digital inequalities is finished. Together with my colleague Dr. Dorien Baelden, we finalized a theoretical report about the underlying theoretical basis of the following 8 profiles for digital inequalities:

  • Digital Outcasts
  • Hopelessly Undigital
  • Digital Fighters
  • Smoothly Digital
  • Digital All-Stars
  • Unexpected Digital Masters
  • Unexpected Digital Outcasts
  • Digitally Self-Excluded

Each of the profiles was transformed into hands-on and ready-to-use flash cards, and a comprehensive A2 poster. All three items can be downloaded for free, and used. In the upcoming weeks, we will actively work on different working methods in which the flash cards can be used for processes of (self-)reflection about digital exclusion; and on developing customized e-inclusion strategies for each profile.

The report, flash cards and poster are freely available: 




A little story about this website ...

For several years, I had an excellent academic website on a friends' platform, called Edosia. It kind of told my academic life story since 2010. Unfortunately the platform was taken down, obliging me to move on and get a new website going on the WIX-platform. All my publications, cv and other stuff contains all possible materials since 2010. The blog itself however, is starting fresh and will, ofcourse, grow tremendously in the upcoming days, weeks and years. 
 
With the blog, I will announce all types of valorization of my research activities, from guest courses, to presentations in civil society organisations, to the publication of new research reports and academic articles. 
 
Enjoy!
