Digital Participation through Social Living Labs connects two
largely separate debates: On the one hand, high speed internet
access and associated technologies are often heralded as a means to
bring about not only connectivity, but also innovation, economic
development, new jobs, and regional prosperity. On the other hand,
community development research has established that access by
itself is necessary but not sufficient to foster digital
participation for the broadest possible range of individuals.
Edited by leading scholars from the fields of education, youth
studies, urban informatics, librarianship, communication
technology, and digital media studies, this book is positioned as a
link to connect these debates. It brings together an international
collection of empirically grounded case studies by researchers and
practitioners from diverse backgrounds. They advance knowledge that
fosters digital participation by identifying the specific digital
needs, issues and practices of different types of communities as
they seek to take advantage of access to digital technologies.
Collectively, these cases propose new ways for enabling residents
to develop their digital confidence and skills both at home and in
their local community, particularly through a 'social living labs'
approach. The book is organised around key focus areas: digital
skills enhancement, youth entrepreneurship, connected learning,
community digital storytelling, community-led digital initiatives
and policy development.
