Understand digital technologies in order to criticize and transform them
Hello, I'm Louis Derrac. I am an advocate for critical digital literacy and a craftsman of acceptable digital technology.

- The Challenge of Educating for an Acceptable Digital Technology
- What can digital education do about the challenges posed by social media?

About
For nearly 15 years, I have been looking into the issues that digital technologies raise for our societies, and what they mean, particularly from an educational perspective.
Today, I am fully committed to the vast challenge of critical digital literacy, convinced that decisions about digital technologies need far more democratic and public ownership. This means training and informing citizens. I also explore what acceptable digital technology could look like: emancipatory rather than alienating, ecologically and socially sustainable, chosen rather than imposed.
Work with me
I see myself as a craftsman of acceptable digital technology, a generalist by nature, yet deeply specialized in digital literacy, digital education, and the alter-digital transformation of organizations.
I work as a program director, consultant, designer, project manager, lecturer, trainer, facilitator, and futurist, because every project is unique, and so is my approach.
