A free event with the aim to share how to incorporate Digital Literacy into teaching and Learning. Examples could include: staff development and promotion, incorporating DL ideas into the curriculum, highlighting DL as a Graduate Attribute etc etc. Anyone can share great ideas they've used in their library, ask important questions or simply sign up to take part in learning conversations.
We hope speakers will report on a range of activities to support and assess learners towards digital fluency and investigate what makes a digitally fluent learner.
Attendees are invited to have the floor for 10 minutes to present (via powerpoint / prezi / talk / bingo / drawing / anything) to colleagues some creative and inspiring suggestions and enthusiastic non-presenting audience members are also welcome.
