EDGE HILL SETTING • Small University approx 28,000 students • Nursing Cohort of approximately 150 intake 2 times a year – Sept and April • Embedded Information skills session throughout the 3 year degree programme • Curriculum time given to sessions • Joint working with faculty staff to develop scaffolded skills sessions and greater employability.
- 4. The issue • Students can access the technology easier • Need to reflect on what we do that responds to this changing nature of cohorts • Feedback from tutors/student module evaluations • Does this translate to increased digital literacy or just familiarity with online environment
- 5. Background • Both studying for the PG Cert Teaching in Higher Education • Professional Interest in Information and Digital literacies • Result of real life issues with student sessions • Final project – decided to combine it all together and do a bit of research
- 6. Current Literature • Digital Immigrants v Digital natives • Digital Visitor v Resident • SONUL 7 Pillars • Anytime learning Literacies Environment (ALLE) funded by Jisc (London Met and Uni of West London) • Jisc Wales Paddle Project - Dr Andrew Eynon, coleg Llandrillo
- 7. Project • Pilot project / Action Research approach • Timing – not start of academic year, so limited to student groups • Looking at 1st yr skills due to: • Feedback from them • Interested in what skills already had • Need to research before too much intergration/learning
- 8. Aims • To examine the development of digital Literacy skills in first year undergraduates • Looking at 3 key areas • Previous skills • Skills gain from Information Skills training • Skills still needed
- 9. Methodology
- 10. Results • Plan to collate results manually in the 1st instance due to small numbers • Write up results for PG Cert and for submission to Information literacy Journal • Hope to identify trends in skills
- 11. Future Plans • Plan to do again in September with bigger cohorts • Include different subject areas • As action research continue reflective cycle and possibly look at different areas • Change and improve Info skills session to fit with student needs!
- 12. Questions From us • Is anyone else doing any similar research? • Looking at changing sessions due to increased/changing skills From You?
