There are different explanations of what constitutes a Digital Divide, and considerable research on the various groups of people integrating the internet (or not) in very different ways, due to socio-demographic factors.

In your own words (properly paraphrased and cited), explain what is meant by the Digital Divide and what groups of people in general are noted to be affected by/experiencing the Digital Divide. Pick one group specifically, and explain how some of the barriers and constrains experienced by this particular group of people impedes fully partaking in the Participatory Culture that Jenkins et al (2009) describe.

Important Notes:

  • The ‘tone’ is academic and more ‘formal’; avoid first person, watch your vocabulary – do not be conversational, do not use contractions.
  • You are required to stay within the minimum and maximum word count, or you will be penalized .5.
  • You are required to stay within the minimum and maximum word count, or you will be penalized .5 (half a mark).
  • Do not provide descriptive opinions and speculations, make succinct arguments that are supported by research and literature.
  • Double space your submission. Please pay attention to your writing style: grammar and punctuation matter. Have someone proofread your work. Your responses must have an introduction, body/discussion, and conclusion. Response submissions should not be one paragraph. No need for title pages, or running header this assignment.
  • Your M3R response must include at least two pieces of support from of the module three readings. Jenkins et al (2009) must be included (cited/reference list), but is not counted as part of your support/evidence.
  • Properly cite and reference any readings that you use in APA format. Submissions that do not cite and reference material properly will not be accepted and will result in a zero. This means, if nothing is cited in your submission – it will not be accepted. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure they are meeting university standards for academic writing, regardless of what your home department is.
  • Do not use any direct quotes in your module submissions – Instead, rephrase and cite properly. You will be penalized .5 (half a mark) if you use direct quotes. Paraphrase and cite properly (this is a learned skill).
  • Please name your M3R file properly with course number, last name, and assignment name. For example: 2F00FirstLastNameM3R.doc

How to submit this assignment:

  • Go to Assignments on Sakai.
  • Click M3R and and click ‘Add Attachments’. The file must be a .doc file, or a .pdf file. (Note: If you are using a Mac, you can convert a Pages document into a word .doc file by going to the menu bar and choosing: ‘File’ – ‘Export’– ‘Word’).
  • Files that cannot open and/or incorrect files will receive a grade of 0.
  • We will not be tracking down assignments: you must submit properly, on-time.
  • Check and double check to ensure that the file is attached and is the correct file. After submitting, definitely review your submission so you can see/confirm the file.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure that you have uploaded your file into Sakai. You have a maximum of five re-submission attempts BEFORE the deadline passes.
  • Late assignments are not accepted and will receive a grade of 0.
  • Assignments sent via e-mail will receive a grade of 0.
  • Do not wait until the last ten minutes to submit your module response.
  • Technological issues (ie my laptop froze at 11:44pm) are not grounds for extensions. You MUST have the appropriate (and reliable) technology to take this course, and you must plan your time effectively.
  • This assignment is not ‘complete’ until it has successfully been submitted to Sakai before the deadline. Do not email screen shots ‘proving’ the assignment was done before the deadline in hopes it will be accepted – it’s not done until it is submitted electronically to the right place in Sakai.
