What does a digital academic practice look like...
• In a practice based art and design context?
• Vocational and non-vocational courses with differing course specific approaches to industry engagement and real world practice?
• Specialist colleges and subject areas?
• Competitive environment?

What does a digital academic practice look like...
With students who are: • Studio-based independent learners • Dependent on physical spaces, studio, workshop and specialist
equipment, spaces and technical support (hard skills)• Combine technical skills, contextual study and research With teaching staff who are:• Industry professionals• In high demand for studio based teaching and face-to-face contact
time • Practice based industry standard skills delivered by technical and
academic staff

Challenges for digital academic practice based teaching
• Understand academic and professional practice as forms of identity work.
• Support students' emerging efforts to develop and manage online identities.
Anxieties relating to presenting oneself online and developing professional open/online identities (lack of hard and soft skills and guidance).
Teachers’ fear of learning/teaching in public (online practice) impacts on student development. Better Improve, experiment and understand flexible approaches to CPD & PPD staff development methods. Redefine the academic digital environment, clarification of VLE relevance in terms of flexibility to deliver an ‘Edu-Social’ experience, no middle ground to develop and experiment.

How can we best develop digital academic practice?
• Reframe academic practice at the public/private boundary.
• Experimentation in open and closed practice; develop outward facing course & personal profiles in new Edu-social spaces.
• Participation: Digital citizenship, professional learning network e.g. Online mentors, supervision & digital stewardship.
• Web making skills for staff and student (hard, Lynda.com)• Web community building skills for staff and student skills
(soft, process.arts)
