Privacy Pursuit: The Value of Privacy

In this lesson, students learn how their personal information is key to how most of the “free” apps and platforms they use make money. They learn practical strategies and tools for managing their privacy and plan how these can be used to limit what audiences have access to their personal information.

Research and Evaluation - Our Approach

Through a community-based research approach, our projects honour participants’ diverse range of digital media literacy strengths, experiences and expertise. We design projects that create safe spaces for participants to share their thoughts, experiences, concerns and solutions about digital media literacy issues. We aim to empower participants by providing them with knowledge and skills that they can take with them as they continue to navigate the online world and digital technology.

Research and Evaluation - What We do

We conduct qualitative and quantitative community-based research projects; design and facilitate program and resource evaluation; and mobilize the findings and recommendations from our research - all in collaboration with various community and academic partners.

Managing your privacy when using smart devices

How much information they collect, though, is at least partially up to you. Here are some steps you can take to manage your privacy when using smart devices.

Factors to keep in mind when prioritizing kids' media health

Children under two should spend as little time with screen devices as possible, except for video-chats with people they know offline and reading e-books with an adult or sibling.
