Hinweis der Redaktion
- Strategic approach – senior champion; review strategies; align digital aspirations with any other key drivers; review current support
- Contextualise digital literacies for services and disciplines and be clear what it means for your institution overallCreate opportunities for digital issues to be discussed across policy arenasGenerally requires a lot of pushing on all fronts/ keeping lots of balls in the air!Useful if digital literacies can be linked with another strategic priorityGreat to get it into strategies – but needs to be the right strategy, and needs to be implementedImportant to have evidence of the need for changeImportance of senior manager buy-inWider institutional changes can provide opportunities for embedding
- Digital study practices are largely established in the first yearEven proficient users of technology need help with academic applications
- Exeter and Greenwich:Exeter Cascade:17 student interns: post-graduate researchersDigital innovators and emerging subject specialists who can influence undergraduates and staffUndertake programme of personal developmentActing as co-researchersLeading digital literacy development in their academic settingGreenwich – Digital literacies in transitionEngaging UG students as part of the project research teamDeveloping students, then supporting them in carrying out research on eg student views and skillsProducing materials to support other students•Partnership with students as digital pioneers one of many forms of student engagement•All too easy for these initiatives to be subservient to the dominant ethos of consumerism: market research for product enhancement•Staff and students have complementary skills for DL development•Opportunity for new transformative roles for students across disciplines: negotiation of roles, outcomes, deliverables; role switching can increase critical self-awareness and confidence, creating desire to effect changeDigital literacy just the vehicle•Paid or voluntary?•Three models in cluster group:•1. Voluntary and paid - individual learning journeys, e.g. Exeter - Cascade•PGs not prepared to be involved without funding (unlike UGs), but can be highly sophisticated agents for change and appreciate cross-disciplinary sharing of their personal literacies.2. Voluntary, unpaid, and accredited/endorsed, e.g. Oxford Brookes - InStePP•Mainly UG, incentives are work experience and consultancy skills3. Voluntary, embedded, e.g. Bath - PriDE•Students in Faculty Learning Communities, analysing project data, building self-assessment tools as part of dissertation, jointly steering/managing project, etc.•All have merits, all are valid. Much depends on ethos of the institution, nature of the students and timing. All can lead to lasting, high impact changes.Q: How should institutions decide which forms of partnership will work best?•Beyond DIY•Student culture of 'DIY professional web skills and literacies', i.e. work it out for themselves, without guidance or training. OK for some but not for all.•Staff may lack confidence and may not see DL as integral part of professional practice.Shared anxiety about acquiring and practising new professional digital literacies and skills.•'Doing It Together'How we can we further develop and sustain the ethos of sharing digital skills and expertise?•Students are individuals and when working in the capacity of change agents this needs to be recognised, through recruitment, management and reward.•Have to adapt to the students that are currently being engaged•How do we promote 'transferability' and 'recognition' of change agents aligned to the outputs and outcomes they are trying to deliver?•Students on Shadow Module (Technology-dependent form of study run by students in parallel to the core curriculum) motivated to try out and adopt technology for learning in small, collaborative groups. Informal, vicarious support.••More effective than using extrinsic drivers to engage with technology, e.g. ECDL, if disconnected from meaningful practice.Q: How can we ensure that DL development in the curriculum is intrinsically motivating to students and staff?
