Digital technologies, such as computers, smartphones, social media, and the Internet, play increasingly central roles in 21st century life. Courses in the Digital Life General Education Pathway (and the associated Digital Literacies General Education Minor) explore our understandings and uses of digital technologies and their impacts in various personal, professional, political, economic, and social-cultural contexts. Students consider the opportunities and challenges these technologies present, and they cultivate crucial digital and information literacies -- understandings, judgments, and practical skills necessary for navigating and thriving in an increasingly complex, interconnected, and mediated world.
