Summary
When developing and analysing future products that engage with technologies and systems to capture, store and interact with personal data it is important to understand the different contexts in which topics related to personal data and digital identity are of importance. This module will consider four thematic areas: transport; healthcare; creative and cultural industries; and future cities, to identify the different requirements and the implications of these different domains for digital identity research topics. The module will be built around theme days which will combine presentations from external participants, Nottingham researchers and student-led discussions, leading to the development of videos of utopian and dystopian visions of the future of digital identity. All students are required to attend all four theme days of this module, along with sessions dedicated to preparing for and undertaking the assessment.

Educational Aims
When developing and analysing future products that engage with technologies and systems to capture, store and interact with personal data it is important to understand the different contexts in which topics related to personal data and digital identity are of importance. This module will consider four thematic areas: transport; healthcare; creative and cultural industries; and future cities, to identify the different requirements and the implications of these different domains for digital identity research topics. The module will be built around theme days which will combine presentations from external participants, Nottingham researchers and student-led discussions, leading to the development of videos of utopian and dystopian visions of the future of digital identity.Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module, students will be aware of:
- How we creatively express our digital identities through new forms of television, home entertainment and the arts.
- How digital identity can enable long-term relationships with consumer goods in the home.
- How personal data can enable well-being and new modes of engagement with well-being.
- How smart environments, from future energy services to intelligent transportation systems will draw on personal data to provide more adaptive, safe and sustainable services.
They will demonstrate this through the production of videos and participation in four one day sessions built around the topics of infrastructure, well-being, culture and the home.
