This Mooc was co-produced by the Class’Code Association and Inria.
At a time when ecological transition often rhymes with digital transition, what really is the environmental impact of digital technology? Is digital the solution?
Under the guise of virtualization and dematerialization, it is in fact an entire ecosystem that consumes energy and non-renewable resources which is being deployed at high speed. While it took nearly 50 years to measure climate change, stabilize the indicators and data, and reach a consensus that would allow action.
Where are we in terms of digital? How to navigate the sometimes contradictory information and discourse? What measures should we rely on? How can we start taking action now for a more responsible and more sustainable digital world?
Format
The Mooc is divided into 4 parts, each consisting of:
an awareness activity to take stock of our practices, our received ideas or our unthoughts, an educational video to expose the issues in the form of a dialogue between the more or less informed citizens that we are and the state of the research, sometimes supplemented by an interactive activity, formative activities to question indicators, data, analyze trends and form your own diagnosis, formative activities to discover what we can do as consumers, designers, teachers , citizen ? Possible answers to explore, experiment with and discuss…additional resources to go further, quizzes at the end of the game inviting you to take stock of the knowledge and skills acquired.
More theoretical concept sheets deepen the concepts covered in the video or the activities.
A discussion forum allows you to exchange and debate with other participants and researchers.
