» JISC Online Conference session on digital literacy (#jiscel11) literaci.es - 0 views

  •  
    "I've just been in an interesting panel discussion at the JISC Online Conference on the subject of 'digital literacy'. The recording of the Elluminate session is available. The session reinforced to me just how diverse people's views on digital literacies are. Most new to the field make the assumption that digital literacy is singular and consists of basic skills in the digital realm. In effect, digital competency. Those more experienced in the field, such as Helen Beetham, talk of the importance of this baseline - the 'ABC' of digital literacy as she called it, but higher-level skills as well."

The 5 Resources Model of Critical Digital Literacy - 0 views

  •  
    "The 5 Resources Model provides a framework to articulate the scope and dimensions of digital literacies. It is based on an established model of literacy which is underpinned by critical perspectives (the Four Resources Model of Critical Literacy, after Luke & Freebody). It has been adapted for the digital context. The model has been developed to encompass the varied perceptions and meanings attributed to digital literacy. On the one hand some stakeholders put a strong focus on ICT, i.e. the skills involved in using computers, software and digitally enabled devices; others emphasise the social and interpersonal, creative and communicative skills highlighted by social media and Web 2.0; there are also critical and intellectual approaches associated with the term digital scholarship. Different stakeholders tend to emphasise different skillsets. The model therefore provides an overarching framework against which groups can develop a shared sense of the parameters and scope of digital literacy. This can inform the curriculum and map to graduate attributes as well as contribute to staff development and employability agendas."

Digital and Media Literacy: A Plan of Action | KnightComm - 1 views

  • Digital literacy means learning how to work the information and communication technologies in a networked environment, as well as understanding the social, cultural and ethical issues that go along with the use of these technologies.
  •  
    It sounds important - haven't read it yet, but it isn't new (2010) " Digital literacy means learning how to work the information and communication technologies in a networked environment, as well as understanding the social, cultural and ethical issues that go along with the use of these technologies. "Full participation in contemporary culture requires not just consuming messages, but also creating and sharing them," writes Hobbs. "To fulfill the promise of digital citizenship, Americans must acquire multimedia communication skills and know how to use these skills to engage in the civic life of their communities.""

Exeter CASCADE - Digital Literacies - 2 views

  •  
    CASCADE is designed to focus on the digital literacy of researchers - building on the University's strengths in research-led teaching. It also incorporates the concept of 'students as change agents', for which we  have national acclaim for our work involving undergraduate students in the design and delivery of the curriculum, and we intend to build on our experience of engaging Postgraduate Research students to cascade skills to undergraduates. How it will workA purpose-designed Exeter Digital Literacy Framework will underpin the project, and help us in refining our approaches, specifically with regard to digital literacy skills. A number of research-rich online and face to face activities will be developed and piloted in our five Colleges.

Digital Literacy - delivering the agenda within colleges and universities - 1 views

  •  
    "In the sixth episode of our online radio programmes - JISC On Air - we are exploring how universities and colleges can help teaching staff, researchers, support and administrative staff to develop their digital literacies - those capabilities which prepare an individual for living, learning and working in a digital society. In part two of the show, we will be looking at how digital literacy underpins the academic success and employability of students. The show highlights how colleges and universities are developing holistic approaches and strategies for supporting the development of these skills and capabilities."

All Together Now: Getting Faculty, Administrators, and Staff Engaged in Information L... - 1 views

  •  
    abstract: Trinity University has established effective strategies for engaging faculty, administrators, and staff in information literacy instruction and assessment. Succeeding in an area in which many libraries struggle, the Coates Library at Trinity University offers a model for libraries seeking to actively engage their campuses through 1) establishing a common definition of information literacy; 2) developing workshops and grants; and 3) engaging in campus-wide information literacy assessment using rubrics. Furthermore, a survey of Trinity faculty, administrators, and staff reveals facilitators and impediments to campus acceptance of collaborative information literacy activities that can inform the evaluation efforts of librarians at other institution

Hacker Literacies - World of E's - 0 views

  • I think we probably need to start with some of the technology as the medium, but we shouldn’t just stop there, at the what-I-can-do-with-them-stage, but use that as lessons about a broader sense of what’s possible across technology and in our lives in general.
  • the word literacy is in there intentionally. Again, its not about just a few hard skills, but a broader set of competencies that stitch together for possibility and opportunity

      At the core of our thinking is this aspect - it's about a way of being (of living, of operating) not what buttons to push.

Baselining digital literacy provision - JISC - 1 views

  •  
    "This page collates resources for conducting a baseline review of digital literacy at an institutional level, as carried out by the 12 institutional projects and 10 professional associations of the JISC Developing Digital Literacies (DDL) programme. These materials are freely available to other institutions and professional bodies for repurposing and reuse.   This page also collates findings from that baseline process. Although a wide range of institutions and professional bodies were involved, these findings are not necessarily generalisable to other institutions of further and higher education. There is no substitute for carrying out a local audit and building consensus for local recommendations."
