IB DS - 6.1 How to conduct an extended inquiry

Welcome to today’s episode of the IB Digital Society podcast! In this episode, we’ll uncover a powerful framework for conducting extended inquiries into digital technology interventions. We’ll guide you through the steps of selecting a challenge, researching cutting-edge technologies like AI and IoT, and evaluating interventions using six critical criteria: equity, acceptability, cost, feasibility, innovation, and ethics. Along the way, we’ll explore how to assess the impacts, analyse cause-and-effect relationships, and determine the effectiveness of these interventions. Finally, we’ll discuss how to formulate actionable recommendations and communicate findings through reports, presentations, or discussions. Join us as we navigate this structured inquiry process and learn how to make meaningful contributions to the digital society!
