About the Theme

For the month of March, 2023 CIET-NCERT has planned sessions on the theme “Ethics in Emerging Digital Space”. The need for a new, shared data ethos is becoming increasingly important as digital technologies are integrated into the developing digital realm at an ever-deeper level. Digital ethics are interpersonal, social, organisational, national norms that govern how people/digital users should conduct and behave in the digital world. Ethics in digital space deals with the collection of laws and moral principles that regulate how people interact with one another inside of organizations as well as more widely in institutions and society when computer technology is used as a medium.

Four live interaction sessions will be conducted on the given theme, that is on the first Wednesday i.e. 01/03/2023 & the subsequent Friday’s (i.e. 03/03/2023, 10/03/2023, 17/03/2023 & 24/03/2023). At the end of the session series, a comprehensive quiz will be launched based on all the sessions conducted in the month of March, 2023 on “Ethics in Emerging Digital Space” as a part of Cyber Jaagrookta Diwas.
