DIGF6000 Digital dissemination in libraries Course description

Emnet gir innsikt i digitale kommunikasjonsformer, og handler om hvordan nettsider og digitale medier kan anvendes og virker i formidlingspraksiser. Digital formidlingspraksis kan for eksempel innebære å digitalisere fysisk materiale, presenterer og tilgjengeliggjøre samlinger via anbefalinger og søk, strømme fysiske arrangement og kommunisere direkte gjennom sosiale medier. Kritisk refleksjon rundt medienes virkemåte, bruk og relevans for ulike målgruppe står sentralt emnet.

Emnet undervises på norsk.

The student will carry out a project in the field of data protection and identity technology, preferably in collaboration with a relevant IT company, individually or in a group of up to five students. The aim is to provide the students with an introduction to data protection and identity technology, while they solve a commercial problem in the form of an extensive project assignment with a work load equivalent to 10 hours a week over a 12-week period. If the project is carried out during the summer, the work must correspond to four days a week over a six-week period.

The increasing use of digital media and internet to solve more and more of our tasks in both our private life and our work life (banking, shopping, health, education, exams, employment, news, tourism etc.), increases the chance of a data breach or misuse of personal information. In order to prevent this and ensure that trust in digital solutions is maintained, we need good data protection. By good data protection we mean that personal data must be treated carefully and used in such a way that it benefits users, customers and employees.

The aim of the new legislation GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is to focus on these issues and demand that all businesses that process personal data have a good data protection system in place, which among other things means that the registered person’s rights are maintained in a secure and reassuring way. These rights are about the right to access, deletion, portability, correction of wrong data and limits to processing. To comply with the strict demands for good personal data protection, it is necessary to have good technical support. This could be technology that supports the identification of persons, process automation, fraud prevention, handling the rights and consent of the data subjects, administration and quality assurance of data processor agreements, internal control support etc.

In addition to the projects on offer, students can find their own projects within a relevant company, public organization or nonprofit. In this case, it is the student's responsibility to find a supervisor for the project within the external organization. All student-initiated projects must be approved by a supervisor at OsloMet before the start of the project.

Completion of the course requires a placement in the relevant health care environment corresponding to two days a week over a 12-week period.If the project is carried out during the summer, the work must correspond to four days a week over a six-week period.

The elective course will only run if a sufficient number of students a registered.

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

Supervision sessions with an internal and/or external supervisor.

The students are given access to relevant online resources, and receive supervision from an internal and/or external supervisor. The students will work individually or in groups of up to five students to complete a project in the field of personal data and identity technology in cooperation with relevant external parties such as businesses or public organisations. The course can be carried out individually by agreement with the course coordinator.

The course starts with a compulsory introductory session.

The projects are chosen/assigned at the start of the semester.
