In the projects the students are given the opportunity to deal with their own data. They are also made aware of their own data: Through the exemplary analysis, they learn something about the basic functions of the systems.
DataSkop provides a technical framework that simplifies many of the repetitive steps required in a data donation project so that the data donation method can be deployed with minimal effort and as cost-effectively as possible. For now, DataSkop runs on desktop and laptop computers, but not on smartphones and tablets.
DataSkop not only allows users to donate data to projects they want to support, but they can also use DataSkop to explore and analyze the data they want to donate themselves. This gives them a better understanding of exactly what they are helping with when they donate data. They also learn what traces they leave behind when they use digital offerings and what makes the data generated in the process so valuable and interesting.
