IB DS - 5.0 An introduction
Welcome to today’s episode of the IB Digital Society podcast! In this episode, we delve into the Higher Level (HL) extension of the Digital Society course, where students tackle some of the most pressing global challenges. We’ll explore the three key topics—global well-being, governance and human rights, and sustainable development—and their subtopics, as students embark on extended inquiries into digitally-based interventions. Guided by a structured four-step inquiry process, students analyse and evaluate these interventions, considering critical factors like equity, acceptability, cost, feasibility, innovation, and ethical implications. Finally, we’ll discuss how this approach empowers students to recommend actionable solutions for a better digital future. Let’s dive into this inspiring journey of learning and impact!
