Coming up…

Digital literacies: changing student practices
Thursday 2 May, 12:00-13:00
This webinar will explore how student digital literacies can be supported and developed by a range of types of engagement and activities. We will look at what we can learn from rich data about student digital practices, and discuss some of the ways in which students can operate as change agents in this area to improve not just their own digital literacies but those of other students, and of staff. Register for the webinar.

Current issues and approaches in developing digital literacy
Tuesday 12 February, 13.00-14.00

Implementing the UKPSF in the digital university
Wednesday 17 April, 13.00-14.00
This webinar offers a guide to implementing the UK professional standards framework in the digital university. We look at how post-graduate certificates in teaching and learning in higher education (PGCertHE) courses and CPD processes are adapting to digital technologies, both in their design and operation and in the educational practices for which the PGCertHEs are preparing staff. We introduce a new wiki including case studies of technology-informed practice, indexed against the UKPSF areas of activity, core knowledge and values.
A recording of this webinar is now available.

Recordings from earlier Digital Literacies webinars and others are available in the Jisc Design Studio.
