My partner, Phoebe and I are both psychology majors and decided to collaborate on this inquiry project together. The topic we decided online self diagnosing. It aligns with the digital wellbeing section in the BC Post Secondary Digital Literacy Framework. 

Step 1: How does online technology play a role with self diagnosing? 

We are planning on focusing on the social media platform Tik-Tok, the AI platform ChatGPT, the search engine google as the online tools users might use to self diagnose. 

We will be using google scholarPubMed, and Uvic psychology database to help us with finding research articles. 

We are also planning on starting to cover these topics in order to start our inquiry process: 

  • brief overview of what topic is, what the platforms are 
  • pros and cons to each platform 

To show our inquiry findings we will be exploring and utilizing Canva Premium to make a whiteboard animation at the end of our inquiry project
