Delphi Conference

A Delphi conference is often chosen as a starting point for research where a diverse range of expert opinion is sought on complex issues with far reaching impacts on policy and practice. Our conference programme is designed to harness this specialist knowledge and enhance our shared understanding of digital ethics and digital citizenship teaching. Having successfully applied the Delphi technique in the area of religious education (see Conroy et al, 2013, for discussion), we seek to develop a programme of research sensitive to the challenges young people face when interacting online and that supports their decision making.
