Question

Writing this essay involves an analysis phase (1) and a writing phase (2):

1. Analysis phase:

.     Use the App Walkthrough Method to analyse a mobile app of your choice.

.     You should use the worksheet you were provided with in Tutorial 2 to document your walkthrough.

.     As you undertake your walkthrough, track the data the app collects about you as a user.

.     Think about how it may be using this data to create a model of you and your attributes (e.g., your preferences and behaviours).

.     Consider the types of data the app collects, its data privacy practices, and the impact of these practices on user autonomy and control.

2. Writing phase:

Using specific examples from your walkthrough analysis, answer the following question:

“Affordances are not fixed but ultimately imagined properties whose meaning and function emerges ‘in the wild’ through how people perceive and make sense of technologies, what they enable and make possible, and what their limitations are.”

(Schellewald, 2023:1569)

Reflecting on this quote, and the course concepts introduced in weeks 1-5, do you think the affordances of an app/platform can alter and influence the way a user acts? Or do you think that a user always has full control and understanding over the use of an app/platform?

Remember, these issues will be different depending on the kind of app you have chosen and its domain (e.g., health, entertainment, social connection, work etc.). Draw on relevant scholarly literature to support your claims about what they key social and ethical issues are in the particular domain.

How to include a screen capture or diagram in your essay

In order to explain your analysis you will need to include diagrams and/or screen captures from your walkthrough in your essay. You should present these as figures with captions as follows:

Figure 1: An example of a screen capture of the Paprika recipe management app recipe page.

Depending on what you are explaining to the reader, you may like to annotate the screen capture (e.g. with arrows and labels).

Use figures only when you are making a substantial point in your essay. You should limit figures to 3-4 in the body of the essay. If more are needed they should be included in an appendix.

FAQs

1. Do I need to cite sources in the essay?

Yes, you should cite sources and include a full bibliography. Please use Harvard referencing: https://www.student.unsw.edu.au/citing-different-sources

2. Is my bibliography include in the word count?

No, your bibliography is not included in the word count.

3. Can I write within +/- 10% of the word count?

It is a good idea to stick as closely to the word count as you can out of respect for your tutor's time. However within +/- 10% is an acceptable margin

4. Do you require a certain number of references, ideas, or other phenomena?

If we require a certain number of anything, that will always be in the question. So if we do not specify a number for something, then we will not penalise you if you don't do a certain number of instances of that thing. We are always assessing you on the extent to which you  demonstrate that you understand the material, rather than on arbitrary things like whether you did a certain thing X number of times.

5. Do I need to cite the lectures in the essay?

No, this would become untenable in a written essay so you are only required to cite the author whose idea you are using in your response. You don't need to cite the lecture in which I taught you about this particular author's ideas. You also don't need to cite the particular lecture I mentioned general key concepts as this would be very repetitive.

6. Do I attach my walkthrough worksheet to the essay?

No, this would likely make a file that is too big to upload. The worksheet just serves as your systematic data collection tool.

NB: Check the Moodle Essay FAQ section nearer to the due date as I may update it if there are other questions that are asked that I haven't thought of here!
