1. Objective
In this activity, we will be using a case study approach to explore the core concepts
of digital identity, digital footprints, searching, ownership, privacy, and
networking. This will enable you to think more deeply about digital literacy and
unpack your assumptions around its complexities.
This activity covers core concepts from C-DELTA Module 1, particularly Unit 2 about digital identities.
2. Learning outcomes

3. Investigation
Investigate
the Digital Identity (DI) of a Digital Education Leader (DEL)
