Abstract

This panel is part of a set of three-panel discussion to be held accross different regions of the world, intending to present and discuss digital citizenry's ideas with a view to arriving at a consensus of the terms digital citizenry and its components. Existing notions of digital citizenry explore the behaviours and associated attributes describing them from the individual and global perspectives. Despite recent advances, external factors such as the industrial and social environment and inclusivity are generally ignored. We propose to discuss and describe factors that suggest the individual does not act within a vacuum but is influenced by multiple factors. In this panel, we will explore the components of digital citizenry through a broader lens to lead the participants to a consensus around this term
