ABI LF - Technology and global power
ABI LF - Technology and global power
Mini-description: Compare and connect sources on digital platforms, technology access, labour and the unequal effects of technological change. You will analyse how infrastructure, rules, data, work and supply chains distribute power — and practise the source-based skills expected in the Leistungsfach.
Target group: Englisch als fortgeführte Fremdsprache, Leistungsfach, Kursstufe Baden-Württemberg. English comes first. German support is a last step, not the default.
Einleitung
Technology can connect people, expand access to knowledge and create new forms of work. It can also concentrate decision-making power, make workers dependent on opaque systems, deepen existing inequalities and shift environmental or labour costs to other places.
In this aiMOOC, you do not learn a ready-made opinion. You compare evidence, identify perspective and limits, connect sources and develop your own evidence-based judgement.
Media rule: The course uses freely licensed Wikimedia Commons material and official or educational YouTube videos instead of reproducing complete compulsory texts or unlicensed film sequences. When you reuse media, open the file or video page and check the current licence and attribution information.

Media entry: Before reading, write three hypotheses in English: Who sets the rules? Who produces value? Who can leave the system easily?

Look again: Digital services may feel "cloud-based", but they depend on physical infrastructure. What kinds of power become visible when you look at cables rather than apps?

Think-pair-share: Complete the chain: device → network → data centre → platform → user. Where could dependence occur?
Visual prompt: Separate what you can observe from what you infer about automation, productivity, control and working conditions.
I-can goals
- I can distinguish access, infrastructure, platform power, labour power and value capture.
- I can compare sources by claim, evidence, purpose, perspective, date and limitation.

Abi 2027: curriculum and exam alignment in Baden-Württemberg
Stand der Prüfungseinordnung: 03.10.2026. The currently published official documents for the 2027 Abitur place the Leistungsfach English in the broader framework of the Bildungsplan and the current Schwerpunktthemen.
For 2027, "On the Move: Migration and Cross-Cultural Encounters" is the official Schwerpunktthema. This aiMOOC does not replace that required focus. It supports the binding sociocultural field "Globalisierung als Chance und Herausforderung", including the world of work, global inequalities and current issues, and trains source-based non-fiction and media analysis.

- Facherlass Abitur 2027, Stand 09.09.2025
- Bildungsplan Englisch, Leistungsfach 11/12
- IQB: Operatoren und Dokumente Englisch
Leistungsfach focus: greater breadth, depth, text complexity and abstraction; differentiated evidence-based analysis; independent connection of several materials; and a stronger share of AFB II and AFB III.
If your examination year is not 2027, check the Facherlass for your own cohort before using the Abi-Check below.
Core input: Technology and global power
Power is more than ownership
Digital power can mean the capacity to set standards, control infrastructure, rank information, shape working conditions or capture economic value. A platform may become influential through network effects, access to data, computing infrastructure and control over the interface between different groups.
A strong analysis therefore asks: power over what, by whom, through which mechanism, with what evidence and with which limits?
Access is layered
Being "online" is not the same as having meaningful access. Access can depend on coverage, device quality, affordability, speed, reliability, skills, language, accessibility and relevant content.
The ITU Facts and Figures 2025 estimates that about 74% of the world population was online in 2025, while about 2.2 billion people remained offline. It also reports major income and urban-rural gaps.

Source check: This map is an older snapshot. Use it to practise visual interpretation, but do not treat it as the current 2025 situation. Compare its pattern with the newest ITU data.
Platforms can coordinate and control
Platforms connect users, workers, advertisers, sellers or service providers. Network effects can make a platform more useful as participation grows, but they can also make switching difficult. Ranking systems, access rules, fees, data collection and moderation policies can influence who becomes visible and who captures value.
UN Trade and Development, 2025 discusses increasing concentration in digital markets and the role of data, computing capacity and network effects. Treat this as an institutional analysis: identify its evidence, concepts and policy perspective rather than accepting every conclusion automatically.
Technology changes work unevenly
Automation can replace individual tasks, assist workers or reorganise whole workflows. Exposure is not the same as job loss. The effect depends on task composition, skills, bargaining power, regulation, business decisions and access to complementary technology.
Digital labour platforms can offer flexibility and access to income, but workers may also face algorithmic allocation, rating systems, surveillance, uncertain pay or limited possibilities to challenge decisions.
In June 2026, the International Labour Organization adopted Convention No. 193 on decent work in the platform economy, the first international labour standard dedicated specifically to the platform economy.
Viewing focus: Which problems are presented as requiring international standards? Which actors are mentioned? Which important perspectives would you still want to hear?
Unequal effects reach beyond the screen
Technological change has material foundations: chips, data centres, electricity, minerals, logistics and waste. Benefits and costs may appear in different places and affect different groups.

Visual analysis: Describe first. Infer second. Then ask what additional evidence would be necessary before making a claim about an entire supply chain or country.
UN Trade and Development: Digital Economy Report 2024 links digitalisation to material and environmental pressures and stresses that benefits and costs are distributed unevenly.
Listening challenge: Reduce the report's argument to one claim, two supporting points and one limitation or open question.
Chips, compute and strategic dependence
Modern digital systems depend on specialised production steps. Semiconductor supply chains include design, fabrication, lithography, packaging, testing and equipment. Concentration at any critical stage can create dependencies.

Viewing task: Build a process diagram from the video. Mark where specialised knowledge, capital, materials and infrastructure are required. Do not turn the diagram into a geopolitical conclusion without additional evidence.
Source lab: compare before you judge
Use short excerpts, charts or summaries from the linked sources. Do not copy complete reports.
| Source | Date | Main focus | What to test |
|---|---|---|---|
| A: ITU Facts and Figures | 2025 | Connectivity and digital access | Definition of access, indicators, regional and income gaps |
| B: UN Trade and Development | 2025 | Digital market concentration | Measures of concentration, causal claims, policy framing |
| C: ILO Digital Labour Platforms | current | Platform work and labour standards | Worker perspective, institutional purpose, missing firm perspective |
| D: ILO–World Bank | 2026 | Uneven effects of generative AI on jobs | Exposure versus outcome, country differences, assumptions |
| E: Digital Economy Report | 2024 | Environmental and material effects of digitalisation | Supply-chain boundaries, distribution of costs and benefits |
| F: World Bank Digital Progress and Trends | 2025 | AI foundations and global capability gaps | Connectivity, compute, skills, local context and investment |
Core comparison question: To what extent does technological change redistribute power rather than simply create more of it?

Listening and Viewing
Viewing 1: Closing the Digital Divide
This World Bank video is from 2020. That makes it useful for a date-and-update task.
- First viewing: Note the central problem and proposed response.
- Second viewing: Identify three persuasive techniques in voice, image, statistics or sequencing.
- Update task: Compare any numerical claim with ITU 2025 data. Label the old figure as historical rather than "wrong".
- Evaluation: What does the video make visible, and what does it simplify?
Viewing 2: Platform work and decent work
- Identify one opportunity and one risk described for platform workers.
- Separate the experience of individual workers from claims about the platform economy as a whole.
- Write one follow-up question for a worker, one for a platform company and one for a regulator.
Listening strategy for the Leistungsfach
Use a three-pass routine when practising independently:
- Global meaning: What is the speaker's thesis and structure?
- Evidence: Which examples, data or causal links support the thesis?
- Evaluation: Which assumptions, omissions or interests matter for interpretation?
Do not attempt a full transcript unless specifically required. The exam skill is selective understanding under time pressure.
Reading
Choose two current institutional sources from the Source Lab and one contrasting source supplied by your teacher, for example a company statement, worker interview, newspaper analysis or NGO report.
Reading task: triangulate
- Write one neutral 35–50 word summary of each source.
- Highlight one claim that can be checked with data.
- Identify one value judgement or policy preference.
- Explain where two sources use different concepts or indicators for a similar issue.
- Write a synthesis paragraph beginning with: Taken together, the sources suggest ..., but they differ in ...
Reading task: distinguish evidence levels
| Level | Example question |
|---|---|
| Observation | What does the chart, sentence or image directly show? |
| Inference | What interpretation follows reasonably from the evidence? |
| Causal claim | What evidence would show that X actually caused Y? |
| Generalisation | Does the source justify extending the claim to other groups, countries or years? |
| Evaluation | Which criteria make the effect beneficial, harmful, fair or unfair? |
Context vocabulary and word formation
Learn word families and collocations, not isolated translations.
| Base | Word family | English explanation | Useful collocation |
|---|---|---|---|
| access | access – accessible – accessibility – inaccessible | the possibility of reaching or using something | affordable access |
| equal | equal – unequal – equality – inequality | having the same status or a difference in distribution | structural inequality |
| digit | digital – digitalise – digitalisation | relating to information processed electronically | digital infrastructure |
| automate | automate – automated – automation | use technology to perform tasks with less direct human action | task automation |
| regulate | regulate – regulation – regulatory – regulator | create and enforce rules for an activity | regulatory framework |
| concentrate | concentrate – concentration – concentrated | gather power, ownership or activity in a small number of actors or places | market concentration |
| distribute | distribute – distribution – distributive | spread resources, costs or benefits among actors | unequal distribution |
| govern | govern – governance – governing | shape rules, decisions and accountability | platform governance |
| exploit | exploit – exploitation – exploitative | use a resource or person, sometimes unfairly | labour exploitation |
| depend | depend – dependence – dependency – interdependent | rely on another actor, resource or system | strategic dependency |
Collocations for analysis
| Less precise | More precise |
|---|---|
| technology is powerful | technology redistributes decision-making power |
| companies control everything | a small number of firms may control key interfaces or infrastructure |
| AI destroys jobs | AI may automate or transform specific tasks |
| people have no access | meaningful access is constrained by cost, infrastructure or skills |
| the source proves | the source indicates, supports, suggests or claims |

Visualisation with fictional data
Important: The following dataset is fictional. It is designed only for practising analysis. It is not evidence about real countries or regions.
| Fictional region | Meaningful digital access | Workers using platform income | Tasks with high automation exposure | Local value capture |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Northport | high | low | high | high |
| Midland | medium | medium | high | medium |
| Coastland | medium | high | medium | low |
| Highlands | low | medium | low | low |
- Draw a causal map with at least two possible explanations for each pattern.
- Mark every arrow as hypothesis, not fact.
- Add one variable that the table does not contain.
- Explain why the table cannot prove that platform work causes low local value capture.
Analysis toolkit
The SCERL chain
| Step | Guiding question | Useful language |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Who created this material, when and for what context? | The source was published by ... in ... |
| Claim | What exactly is being asserted? | The author argues that ... |
| Evidence | What data, example, wording or visual element supports it? | This is supported by ... |
| Reasoning | How does the evidence support the claim? | This matters because ... |
| Limitation | What remains uncertain, missing or context-dependent? | However, the evidence does not establish ... |
Multimodal analysis
For charts, photographs, maps and video, analyse both content and construction.
- Selection: What is included and excluded?
- Scale: Which time period, geography and population are shown?
- Framing: Which visual choices guide attention?
- Evidence status: Is the image illustrative, documentary, statistical or persuasive?
- Connection: Does the visual confirm, complicate or challenge the written claim?
Operator check
Before writing, underline the operator and translate it into an action.
| Operator type | Your action |
|---|---|
| outline / summarise | reproduce relevant content concisely without detailed evaluation |
| analyse | explain how evidence, structure, language or visual form creates meaning |
| compare | identify relevant similarities and differences using common criteria |
| assess / evaluate | apply explicit criteria and reach a differentiated judgement |
| discuss | examine competing arguments and develop a reasoned position |
| comment | develop a focused personal argument supported by evidence |

Speaking
60-second source synthesis
Use one visual and one written source.
- State the shared issue in one sentence.
- Give one important difference in evidence or perspective.
- Explain one connection.
- End with one open question.
Challenge: Speak without notes except for five keywords.
Discussion: four actor perspectives
Roles: platform company, worker representative, public regulator, small business using the platform.
Prompt: Which rules are necessary when a digital platform becomes essential infrastructure for work or trade?
Do not "win" the debate. Your task is to represent evidence, recognise trade-offs and respond to another speaker's point.
Useful moves:
- Clarifying: Do you mean that ...?
- Building: I agree with your point about ..., and I would add ...
- Challenging: That conclusion depends on the assumption that ...
- Qualifying: This may be true for ..., but not necessarily for ...
- Synthesising: Both positions identify ..., yet they differ on ...
Writing
Exam-style analytical paragraph
Write 180–220 words answering:
How does one source construct the idea of technological power?
Requirements:
- A precise analytical claim
- Two pieces of source evidence
- Explanation of linguistic, structural or visual choices
- One limitation of your interpretation
- No invented quotation
Material-based synthesis
Write 350–450 words:
To what extent does digitalisation reduce existing inequalities while creating new dependencies?
Use at least three materials from the course. Do not organise the text "Source A, then Source B, then Source C". Organise by argument and connect materials within paragraphs.
Possible structure:
- Access and participation
- Platforms and market power
- Labour and algorithmic management
- Supply chains and environmental costs
- Qualified conclusion
Genre practice
Choose one target genre and use evidence appropriately:
- article
- blog entry
- letter
- letter to the editor
- speech manuscript
The genre changes audience, register and structure — not the obligation to reason accurately.
Mediation
Mediation is not word-for-word translation. Select information for a specific addressee and purpose.
Scenario: A German school newspaper has published a short German-language infographic about unequal digital access. An English-speaking partner school asks what the most important findings mean for students.
- Select only the relevant information.
- Explain culture-specific terms if necessary.
- Keep the register appropriate for students.
- Do not add facts that are not in the source.
- Mark uncertainty if the German source is ambiguous.
Assessment note: Under the current 2027 rules, language mediation is an assessed competence in the course. Do not confuse that course assessment with the structure of the written Abitur paper itself.
Differentiation
| Route | Language | Material | Analysis | Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Support | shorter sentences and prepared vocabulary | one main source plus one visual | claim + evidence + explanation | sentence starters and SCERL table |
| Core | authentic source language with selective support | two to three sources | comparison + limitation | operator checklist |
| Challenge | dense institutional or journalistic prose | three to four contrasting sources | causal reasoning + counterevidence + synthesis | minimal prompts |
Tempo: Pause videos, use subtitles only when useful, and reduce playback speed if needed. Stronger learners should repeat a section without subtitles and reconstruct the argument from notes.
Feedback and error analysis
Mini-rubric
| Dimension | 1 Developing | 2 Secure | 3 Advanced |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evidence | mainly general statements | relevant evidence is used | evidence is selected, weighed and connected |
| Analysis | description dominates | form and meaning are linked | mechanisms, limits and alternatives are analysed |
| Source comparison | sources remain separate | similarities and differences are clear | sources are synthesised by shared criteria |
| Language | meaning is sometimes unclear | mostly precise and coherent | flexible, accurate and appropriately nuanced |
| Independence | model phrases dominate | argument is mostly self-directed | structure and reasoning are independently developed |
Error log
After feedback, classify only the errors that affect your next performance.
| My example | Error type | Correction | Rule or strategy | New sentence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| tense / syntax / word choice / register / evidence / logic |
Feedback rule: Do not rewrite the whole text immediately. First explain the pattern behind two or three recurring errors, then revise one paragraph strategically.
AI and source integrity
AI may support learning only if your course rules permit it. It must not replace your own analysis or exam writing.
- Verify that every cited source actually exists.
- Check author or institution, publication date and the exact claim supported.
- Open the original source instead of citing an AI-generated summary.
- Distinguish quotation, paraphrase, inference and your own judgement.
- Do not invent page numbers, statistics or quotations.
- If AI use must be declared, state what tool was used and for which limited step.
- Never submit an AI-generated replacement essay as your own analytical performance.
Fast verification test: Can you point to the exact original passage, chart or data table that supports your sentence? If not, the sentence is not ready to cite.
Privacy and safe production
- Use fictional data for classroom simulations unless your teacher provides approved real data.
- Audio or video recording is voluntary and may remain private on the learner's own device.
- Do not upload recordings, photos or personal data unless this has been explicitly agreed.
- Do not send course material to external AI services automatically or without informed permission.
- When interviewing people, obtain consent and avoid collecting unnecessary personal information.
Transfer
Apply the same framework to a new case such as app stores, cloud services, generative AI, semiconductor production, online marketplaces or content moderation.
Ask:
- Who controls the interface or infrastructure?
- What creates dependence or switching costs?
- Who benefits economically?
- Who bears labour, environmental or social costs?
- Which groups have meaningful access?
- What evidence could falsify your first interpretation?
Abi-Check
Written examination
For the currently published 2027 Leistungsfach rules, the written Abitur includes a listening component and a writing component. The writing tasks require selective summary, analysis based on evidence and independent text production. The exact structure, permitted aids and timing must be checked in the current Facherlass for your cohort.
Self-check before submission:
- Did I answer the operator rather than only the topic?
- Did I use precise evidence rather than general knowledge?
- Did I analyse how meaning is created?
- Did I connect materials instead of placing summaries side by side?
- Did I distinguish evidence from inference?
- Did I qualify causal or global claims?
- Did I leave time to check language and task fulfilment?
Communication examination
The communication examination is a separate oral examination component with its own assessment criteria. Prepare for both sustained speaking and interaction.
Oral self-check:
- Can I develop an idea beyond one sentence?
- Can I refer to material accurately without reading a script?
- Can I respond directly to another speaker?
- Can I clarify, challenge, qualify and synthesise?
- Can I recover when I do not know one word?
Leistungsfach AFB II and III challenge
Do not stop at What does the source say? Move to:
- How is the argument constructed?
- Why might this evidence matter?
- How far can the conclusion be generalised?
- Which competing explanation fits the evidence?
- How do several materials change your judgement?
Follow-up course
Continue with ABI LF - Technology, democracy and regulation.
Transfer question: When does technical infrastructure become public-interest infrastructure, and which criteria should govern accountability?
