Overview of IDH Partnership Advantages
The marketplace for digital ethics and technology law education is “hot” in 2022, but competition
is quickly emerging. And while any law school can attempt to grab a small piece of the pie with offerings in digital ethics/technology law, by combining Creighton’s established educational brand with the IDH’s proven experiential and interactive online curricula – and reputation as international leaders in bi-partisan and cross-cultural digital ethics advocacy – a IDH-Creighton partnership could easily emerge as national gold standard for post-Zoom legal education in digital ethics and law, offering unique advantages to Creighton’s students, faculty, and brand.
The IDH’s Multimodal, Experiential, and Interactive Approach to Online Education:
With cutting edge teaching assets and interactive curricula that break down partisan barriers – and the walls between the “classroom” and the “real world” – the IDH could immediately put Creighton students into a national research network; immediately put them to work (gaining experience and CV lines) as members of our student-run think tank; and immediately put their research and solutions for saving post-digital America into the public sphere.
The IDH’s Digital Ethics and Technology Law Methodologies:
The IDH’s interdisciplinary, bi-partisan, and peer-reviewed methodologies – for kindergarten through grad school – would quickly train Creighton students to analyze, research, advocate, and consult on the legal, ethical, and political issues surrounding digital technology. Moreover, our deep bench of existing methodologies allow for lightning quick creation of online programs for Creighton Law (e.g., certificates, credentialing, CLE, and Master’s Degrees) in both general and specific aspects of technology law. (E.g., privacy, algorithmic regulation, hate speech, First Amendment, disinformation, health data, student data, and employment AI)
IDH Online: A Diverse and Essential Cross-Cultural Civic Space:
The IDH’s online textbook and website evolves with the changing technological landscape by curating student and faculty content (research, lectures, video, audio) to provide a timely and cohesive digital ethics framework for both classrooms and communities. For
Creighton, the IDH then solves the essential problem of online education
(i.e., recruitment, engagement, and retention) by putting diverse students – from
multiple campuses – into a vibrant “workspace” and national conversation on the future of
post-digital America. Beyond the obvious IDH branding and public relations advantages for Creighton Law, the IDH’s curriculum organically turns Creighton students and faculty into “brand ambassadors” for the University as classroom content is published – weekly –on the IDH’s social media, podcast, and web platforms. (Including IDH TV, to be launched in 2022.)
Since 2018, the IDH has emerged as a local, national, and international leader in digital ethics advocacy and education. However, given funding challenges and delays in late 2020-2021 due to the near miss shooting of the IDH founder (Dr. Aaron McKain) and loss of revenue at the IDH’s initial university (North Central University) after they hosted the George Floyd memorial, the IDH is at a “now or never” moment to level up properly. To encapsulate these opportunities, we are submitting three budgets to your review.

Information Networking Framework (INF):
Plug-and-Play Think Tanks, Online Learning Environments, and Digital Ethics PR Firms
The IDH’s Information Networking Framework (INF) is a centralized research database: Organized by digital topics via the IDH’s proprietary legal, ethical, and pedagogical methodologies. It is updated in real time through the IDH’s online and offline courses and utilized by our academic, educational, and civic partners. Because the INF also functions as an organizational architecture, it also allows the IDH to coordinate its inter-university classes and nation-wide project teams; quickly execute peer-reviewed articles and policy briefs; and share branding and social media strategies.
IDH Education Division
Experiential and Interactive Online and In Person Digital Ethics Education
The IDH provides an interactive and experiential online learning environment that utilizes multimodal assets to provide students – from kindergarten through law school – a common language and training in digital ethics and technology law. By providing students “real world” opportunities to turn their classroom work into action (and CV lines), the IDH creates a national network of young scholars, professors, activists, and community educators. Due to its successful bi-partisan and cross-cultural approach, the IDH can avail itself of the entirety of the educational marketplace while also empowering marginalized voices to advocate for a just, equitable, safe, and sane post-digital America.
The Living Textbook Project: A Next Generation Educational and Civic Space
Traditional textbooks and curricula cannot possibly keep pace with the daily challenges of our
post-digital world. As a solution, the IDH’s Living Textbook Project (LTP) evolves with the changing technological landscape by curating student and faculty content (research, lectures, video, audio) to provide a timely and cohesive digital ethics framework for all educational levels: Elementary, secondary, undergraduate, and graduate. While currently offered for free to participating partners, the LTP can also exist as a subscription-based service that networks diverse classrooms and communities into a single educational platform and online civic space.
The IDH Research Division
Civic and Corporate Training: Digital Ethics Policy, Compliance, CLE, and DEI
The market for civic, corporate, and professional training and credentialing in digital ethics/technology law is already rapidly growing. The IDH’s proven track record – and IP – allows for the easy creation of on- or off-site digital ethics education for corporate partners and policymakers; DEI workshops on algorithmic bias and regulation; continuing legal education programs for attorneys; and leadership training in digital ethics advocacy and education for non-profits, activists, and teachers.
Client Audits and Encoded Digital Ethics Frameworks
As citizens and governmental officials become increasingly alarmed about digital ethics issues, any company or organization “collecting” data now confronts an increasingly hostile regulatory, legal, and ethical environment. The IDH’s established and proven methodologies – on privacy, algorithmic discrimination, disinformation, and online hate speech – allow us to provide client audits, compliance consulting, market share analysis, and programmable solutions.
IDH Public Relations and Civic Advocacy Division:
Strategic Digital Ethics Communications for Civic and Corporate Clients
Strategic communications in the digital ethics space (whether for companies, government, or advocacy groups) is now a highly-sought after form of technical public relations expertise. The IDH is uniquely poised to assess these public relations challenges (and market-share trade-offs) and offer
strategic advice on how to translate data practices to easily understandable public
campaigns.In addition, the IDH’s Public Relations teams have highly sought after marketing
and content expertise for digital ethics advocates and policy-makers.
Bi-Partisan and Cross-Cultural Branding for Diverse Advocates and Organizations
Given the legal, ethical, and marketing challenges surrounding data policies, the question will soon become: How do we “trust” a particular organization, company, or government policy? By offering a trusted cross-cultural and bi-partsian “brand” – that can serve to “certify” a company or organization’s data practices re: privacy, algorithmic unreliability; hate speech versus free speech; and dis/misinformation – the IDH’s network can establish itself as a “gold standard” for certifying digital ethics principles in these contentious partisan times.
