how are new and emerging technologies changing learning and teaching? how is our perception of academic literacies changing in response to this? when, where and how is learning and teaching taking place? what is the role of students as partners and facilitators of learning in a digital age? what demands does this place on traditional learning spaces?

"We need to stop digital literacy training that uses the internet and social media to achieve pre-defined outcomes. For example, working backwards from goals such as finding a job or setting up a business. This might address immediate student anxieties but it is a short-term solution. Based on my experiences of working with students and academics, I would make a case for digital literacy to be much more than the mechanical operation of tools and technology. It should enable us to use the social digital landscape for reflection and conversations. And in our ability to enter into dialogue on the basis of shared values, we become individual agents of change." Dr Abhay Adhikari
