Every day we read about hacking, digital surveillance, and more connected to the pervasive technological world in which we live. What are the implications of digital technologies in terms of our personal identities and our privacy? This workshop will review some of the issues surrounding digital privacy, and will provide a hands-on opportunity to learn about tools and resources to help you protect your own digital privacy.

Digital Foundations Workshops
The CDSC offers a series of intensive workshops for WSU students seeking hands-on instruction in the foundations of digital literacy. Facility with digital tools has become a fundamental prerequisite for joining any contemporary profession and, as with reading and writing skills, college instructors across the disciplines expect students to arrive on campus with a foundational level of digital literacy. Such expectations mean that many students never receive explicit guidance in how to write emails, organize files, or engage in online communities. These workshops fill that general education gap by helping students cultivate essential skills and develop good digital habits for the future. We intend the workshops to serve all interested students, regardless of major or prior experience. Workshop sessions will be 30-40 minutes, with 20-30 minutes for questions and one-on-one assistance. Grad students, staff, and faculty are also always welcome.
