3. There will be opportunities to add and refine your ideas during this session
Digital Literacy
Why is this an issue now?Digital Literacy
Impacts of digital mediaon knowledge
New demands on education
Digital Literacy
'New ways of knowing'
Digital Literacy
'New ways of knowing'
Transfer of attention from print to screen
Multiplicity of media: hyperlinked and hybrid media
Blurred boundaries of information/communication
Ubiquitous access to information and to connected others
Routine surveillance and capture of processes/events
Networked societies and interest groups
Power of the crowd (web 2.0, massive social data sets)
Offloading of cognitive tasks onto digital tools and networks
Presentation of self in digital contexts

Using 'ways of knowing' to expand your characterisation of a digitally literate learner.
What kinds of expertise and know-how?
How is it expressed and shared?
What new data is being captured and managed?
What does innovation look like?
What does it mean to be critical?
What forms of judgement are needed?
Digital Literacy
What are graduate attributes?Digital Literacy
‘These attributes include, but go beyond, the disciplinary expertise or technical knowledge that has traditionally formed the core of most university courses.
They are ability, dispositions, qualities which enable knowledge gained to be translated into a discipline and work place context.
Bowden, J., Hart, G., King, B., Trigwell, K., & Watts, O. (2000) Generic capabilities of ATN university graduates, Canberra: Australian Government Department of Education, Training and Youth Affairs
Digital Literacy
What are graduate attributes?
Why graduate attributes?
‘qualities that prepare graduates as agents of social good in an unknown future.’ (Bowden et al, 2000)
‘attributes that help prepare our students to tackle the ever evolving challenges facing them during and at the end of their studies’ (University of Edinburgh)
Digital Literacy
An example: Oxford Brookes University
Five graduate attributes agreed at Oxford Brookes University.
Digital literacy defined as… The functional access, skills and
practices necessary to become . . . a confident, agile adopter of a range of
technologies for personal, academic and professional use.
(https://wiki.brookes.ac.uk/display/slidacases/Oxford+Brookes)
Digital Literacy
An example: University of Wolverhampton
Three graduate attributes at University of Wolverhampton
Digital literacy defined as our graduates will be confident users of
advanced technologies; they will lead others, challenging convention by exploiting the rich sources of connectivity digital working allows.
