IDS 403 Final Project Part Two Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
This course explores technology and its impact on the world
around us. Technology influences society, and society
influences technology, creating a feedback
loop between them. We will critically analyze this feedback
loop in this course through social, historical, and theoretical
approaches to technology as well as the
four general education lenses: history, humanities, natural and
applied sciences, and social sciences. Each of these four
perspectives allows us to better
understand the construction of technology and its interrelation
with society. From this enhanced understanding, you will be
equipped to draw connections
between technology, society, and your personal and professional
lives, helping you to become a better-informed citizen who can
make a positive difference in the
world.
Issues and events in technology have a pervading influence on
many aspects of society, and how they are dealt with requir es
diverse knowledge and perspectives
to investigate and change. The purpose of this project is to
examine a specific issue or event in technology and how it
impacts individuals and society through the
development of a critical analysis portfolio and a presentation
in which you will demonstrate your ability to think critically,

investigate, and communicate clearly.
These skills are often necessary to achieve personal and
professional goals across many disciplines.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the
following course outcomes:
of study or chosen profession by investigating the influence of
technology on modern culture
[IDS-403-01]
approaches for determining how
technology affects modern identity in personal and professional
contexts [IDS-403-02]
employing appropriate research strategies [IDS-403-03]
r utilizing current technology to
meet personal and professional goals [IDS-403-04]
world and can influence change using effective communication
skills [IDS-403-05]
erging technologies on societal issues
for incorporating diverse perspectives and viewpoints informed
by relevant literature and
interpersonal experiences [IDS-403-06]
Prompt
For the second part of this project, you will develop a
multimedia presentation in which you will have a chance to

reflect on what you have learned about your
issue or event, yourself, and society through analyzing its
impact on technology. You will also be able to apply your
communication skills and integrate multimedia
elements to communicate your message to an audience.
In developing this presentation, you will be able to use your
analyses from the first part of this project as a starting point.
The reflective nature of this activity
prompts you to dig deeper and consider the implications posed
by the critical analysis of your issue or event in technology.
How does studying technology affect
how you understand yourself as well as the world around you?
You’ll also be challenged to incorporate a dash of creativity to
enhance your message.

Multimedia Presentation: For the second part of the project, you
will create a multimedia presentation that incorporates audio
narration and visuals to
articulate how critically analyzing your issue or event in
technology impacts your own framework of perception and
ability to constructively engage in society.
PowerPoint: You are required to include a combination of text
and visuals in order to support your PowerPoint presentation.
Use the Check File Compatibility
With Earlier Versions and Are You Having Video or Audio
Playback Issues? resources to help you check compatibility
between versions of Office. Also, follow the
instructions on the Microsoft Support page to compress your

presentation as a zipped file. You may upload a zipped file
when submitting this assignment.
Reducing the size of the PowerPoint presentation file by
compressing it makes it easier for your instructor to download
and grade.
Microphone: While it is not necessary to purchase a microphone
for this project, you will need to have access to a microphone to
record the narration of the
presentation. This could be the external microphone of your
device, a set of earbuds, or borrowed from a friend. This
assignment is graded on the content of
the narration, and not the quality of the recording.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Issue/Event: For this section of your presentation, you will
introduce the issue/event and how it relates to issues of
technology and any of the topics
that have been discussed in the course.
A. Using appropriate research strategies, describe a social or
global issue/event that is related to issues of technology. [IDS-
403-03]
i. What is the origin of the issue?
ii. What is the issue about?
B. Using appropriate research strategies, describe the impact of
the issue or event on society. [IDS-403-03]
i. Who is impacted by the issue?

ii. What is important to know about them?
C. Using relevant research or diverse perspectives, assess how
society impacts the chosen issue. [IDS-403-06]
II. Yourself: This section of your presentation explores how
studying technology influences your individual framework of
perception with respect to your
discipline of study or profession.
A. How has critically analyzing your issue/event in technology
informed your individual framework of perception? Consider
how it has altered the
way you perceive the world. [IDS-403-05]
B. How can critically analyzing technology influence your field
of study or profession? How can studying technology inform
your understanding of
the next big topic of study in your field or profession in the
next five to ten years? [IDS-403-01]

for meeting your personal and professional goals. What might
this look like in your
everyday life? Consider how technology can be used to address
the day-to-day responsibilities or questions faced by
practitioners in your field or
discipline. [IDS-403-04]
IV. Conclusion:
A. Using relevant research or diverse perspectives, assess the
benefits and challenges of addressing issues in technology.

V. Presentation: Throughout your presentation, you will be
assessed on your ability to use effective communication skills to
deliver your message to your
audience.

and visual elements are logically organized in order to convey
your message to your
audience. [IDS-403-05]

the chosen issue or event
and its impact within technology. [IDS-403-05]
Milestones
Milestone Three: Technology, You, and Society
In Module Five, you will draft the content that will inform your
final multimedia presentation, due in Module Seven. This
