Scenario
Digital Wellbeing is about fashioning and sustaining a healthy relationship with
technology. As technology plays a big part in our lives we find ourselves spending an
increasing amount of time online and on our devices. Our wellbeing is dependent
upon our mental and physical health and thereby our digital wellbeing is influenced
by our online interactions and the amount of time we spend on our devices. Whilst
technology and the internet can simplify and enhance our lives they can also be
distracting, be a cause of anxiety, and make us feel upset. Being in control of
technology enables us to use its full potential and gain all the benefits of it.
This unit will enable students to explore some of the areas of digital wellbeing from
the standpoint of a prospective computing professional. It will provide the opportunity
for students to investigate digital wellbeing within computing systems and explore the
responsibilities and solutions to the problems presented..
The range of topics discussed could cover the following:
• How to find the balance towards a healthy relationship with devices?
• Are tech companies responsible for the health, safety and wellbeing of users?
• What tools and strategies can a company use to develop a system(s) that
addresses digital wellbeing for users?
• What impact will future digital tech have on human wellbeing?
You should refer to these instructions as you complete work for this unit.
• Consider the development of a methodical and valid research proposal as the
foundation for the project.
• Choose a topic of personal interest in a specialism. The topic chosen should allow a
sufficient and suitable degree of research through the existence of adequate
background materials.
• A good project proposal title should meet the following criteria:
○ The proposal is one that has an existing body of literature or source material
that can be
reviewed.
○ The proposal extends a current line of learning that will lend itself to further
