By the end of the #ForYou: Algorithms & the Attention Economy workshop, students will be able to:
- describe recommender system algorithms in order to examine how they shape individuals' online experiences through personalization
- analyze their online behaviors and subsequent ad profiles in order to reflect on how they influence how individuals encounter, perceive, & evaluate information, leading to echo chambers & political polarization
- assess how their data is used to personalize their online experience in order to build algorithmic awareness & make informed, intentional choices about their information consumption
**This is a standalone workshop but also scaffolds from the Penn State Berks Privacy Workshop which gives students some foundational understanding of personal data collection practices.
