SwipeIt - An application to discuss threats in Social Media

Courage Project Logo

The RIAS team is currently working on an application called “SwipeIt” to be played by teenagers, typically on a mobile device. Users are asked to categorize pictures taken from the internet along the dimensions of hate speech, cyber mobbing, verbal violence and discrimination. The results can be used by teachers for discussions in a classroom. For this purpose, a specialized teacher dashboard is provided to aggregate the “votings” and reflect them with the students.
