Assessment: Rogues’ Gallery
Have students access the student chapter Rogues’ Gallery and go through it with the class. Have each student (or, if you prefer, each pair or group) choose one dark pattern that they identified in either the Made for Sharing or Dark Patterns Audit activities and create a “wanted” poster that will help other people recognize it.
When students have completed their posters, hang them around the room. Distribute sticky notes or paper clips to students, then have them view all the posters and attach a note or clip to each one if they have ever seen that dark pattern on an app or website.
When students have finished viewing all of the posters, see which ones have the most notes or clips. Ask students why they think those dark patterns might be most common in apps aimed at kids/teens and what they could do to avoid or recognize them.
