Course 08 Grade 5 — Digital Responsibility and Value
Version: 1.0 public self-study edition — October 12, 2026 Status: Free public, supervised, noncredit curriculum; not approved for enrollment, school credit, diploma, credential, licensure, placement, or funding claims.
Promise and boundary
I can create digital work, verify information, protect privacy, communicate responsibly, and measure whether my work is useful. Learners use fictional, public, or minimum-necessary information in supervised simulations. The course does not authorize live accounts, public posting, purchases, real-person profiling or decisions, protected records, regulated work, or financial advice.
Humanization is the parent doctrine. Technology must serve people with dignity, agency, truth, safety, privacy/security, accessibility, authorship, and human accountability. AI may assist a bounded task only when disclosed and checked; it is not the author, conscience, or decision-maker.
Portfolio and rhythm
The learner produces a digital-identity goal, human-need brief, source/citation record, product specification, data/tool terms map, digital product, revision log, professional message set, security/accessibility map, value model, independent demonstration, and humanized digital-service capstone. Each unit follows Learn → Practice → Prove → Use → Advance.
Twelve-unit sequence
Unit 1 — Digital Identity and Goals
Learn: identity, account, audience, goal, boundary, and reputation are different. Practice: sort fictional online choices into private, share-with-permission, and stop. Prove: write a safe digital-work goal with audience and privacy boundary. Use: explain one choice without sharing personal or family details. Advance: select one short offline practice task.
Unit 2 — Human Need Before Technology
Learn: need, request, assumption, user, accessibility, and tool are different. Practice: turn a fictional request into a clarifying question. Prove: create a human-need brief naming audience, need, support, and unknowns. Use: reject a tool-first solution that does not help a person. Advance: identify a safe source or observation to reopen.
Unit 3 — Search, Source Quality, Citation, and Misinformation
Learn: issuer, date, evidence, scope, citation, opinion, and misinformation. Practice: compare fictional/public sources and label what each supports. Prove: make a source-and-citation record with limits and a corrected claim. Use: explain why a polished page is not automatically reliable. Advance: write one confirm-or-correct question.
Unit 4 — Product Specification and Test Plan
Learn: audience, purpose, requirements, acceptance test, limitation, and version. Practice: convert a need into three observable requirements. Prove: submit a small product specification and test plan. Use: test a sample against the stated requirements. Advance: choose the smallest buildable version.
Unit 5 — Data, Files, Accounts, and Tool Terms
Learn: data, file, permission, account, retention, terms, and owner. Practice: classify fictional data as unnecessary, minimum-necessary, or prohibited. Prove: complete a no-account data/tool map with a safe alternative. Use: explain what must not be entered into a tool. Advance: record the human owner and stop rule.
Unit 6 — Create a Digital Product
Learn: content, layout, function, audience, accessibility, and authorship. Practice: sketch and assemble a low-risk public-information or fictional resource. Prove: create version one with sources, author/support disclosure, and intended use. Use: demonstrate the product to a facilitator or fictional audience. Advance: select one evidence-based revision.
Unit 7 — Debug and Document Revisions
Learn: defect, test case, reproducibility, correction, and change log. Practice: reproduce two fictional defects and record expected versus actual result. Prove: submit a revision log with before/after evidence and remaining limits. Use: explain a correction without blaming a person. Advance: run the next test case.
Unit 8 — Remote Teamwork and Professional Messages
Learn: audience, subject, request, update, tone, attachment, handoff, and response boundary. Practice: draft a question, progress update, correction, and handoff using fictional names. Prove: create a message set with owner, date, next action, and no private data. Use: adapt one message for a school, service, or simulated workplace. Advance: identify who receives the next handoff.
Unit 9 — Security, Scams, Intellectual Property, and Accessibility
Learn: phishing, permission, copyright, license, attribution, accessibility, and escalation. Practice: classify scenarios as proceed, ask, pause, escalate, or stop. Prove: complete a safety/accessibility/authorship map with an alternate route. Use: explain one protective choice in plain language. Advance: write a hold statement for an uncertain case.
Unit 10 — Price, Cost, Value, and Ethical Persuasion
Learn: price, cost, value, estimate, audience need, persuasion, and claim limit. Practice: compare fictional scenarios without private finances or purchase pressure. Prove: make a dated value model with assumptions, non-monetary value, and unknowns. Use: revise an exaggerated claim into evidence-supported language. Advance: identify the authorized source for an unresolved term.
Unit 11 — Independent Product Demonstration
Learn: demonstration, explanation, evidence, limitation, feedback, and transfer. Practice: rehearse a two-minute explanation with no hidden assistance. Prove: demonstrate the product, source choices, test results, and one correction. Use: apply the method to a new low-risk case without copying the model. Advance: record one remaining evidence gap.
Unit 12 — Humanized Digital-Service Capstone
Learn: service, usefulness, consent, continuity, correction, and next step. Practice: assemble and audit the evidence packet. Prove: deliver a privacy-conscious digital resource for a fictional/public audience with sources, assistance disclosure, accessibility route, test record, and limits. Use: defend one design choice and one decision to stop or revise. Advance: make a 30-day practice plan with owner, support, risk, and alternate route.
Completion rule
Completion requires twelve evidence items or approved accessible equivalents, facilitator review, correction, disclosed assistance, independent explanation or transfer, and all noncompensable gates. Safe wording: “The learner completed the noncredit DTU course and demonstrated the listed tasks at the documented support level.”

Assessment and accessibility
Use the task-level 0–4 scale: not yet shown; direct help; limited help; independently here; transfers and helps. Never score intelligence, dignity, character, accent, disability, family, immigration, trauma, or future potential. Offer oral, written, visual, demonstrated, translated, captioned, large-print, keyboard, extra-time, offline, and assistive-technology routes when they preserve the target. Require correction and retest.
Pause and escalate for unsafe work, missing authority/consent, protected data, inaccessible evidence without an alternative, discrimination/harassment, false claims, undisclosed material assistance, real-person profiling/decisions, live regulated activity, public posting/contact, account creation, purchase pressure, or unsafe tool failure.
Closeout
Confirm twelve evidence items or accessible equivalents, source/date/limits, correction, assistance disclosure, independent demonstration, noncompensable gates, next owner/date/source, alternate route, and human escalation. Safe wording: “The learner completed the noncredit DTU course and demonstrated the listed tasks at the documented support level.”

Course 08 Grade 5 — Humanized Digital-Service Capstone Rubric
Brief
In a supervised fictional, public-data, or low-risk simulation, the learner creates a small digital resource for a defined audience, verifies sources, documents revisions, protects privacy, provides an accessible route, communicates a handoff, and explains value without overclaiming. No protected records, live accounts, real-person profiling, public contact, purchases, financial advice, regulated work, or unsupported outcomes.
Evidence packet
- digital-work goal; 2. human-need brief; 3. source/citation record; 4. product specification/test plan; 5. data/tool terms map; 6. digital product v1; 7. revision log; 8. professional message set; 9. security/accessibility/authorship map; 10. value model; 11. independent demonstration; 12. capstone and 30-day plan.
