A digital literacies framework – its strengths, weaknesses and opportunities

Speaker: Fiona Handley, senior lecturer in learning and teaching, University of Brighton. This session will explore the University of Brighton’s digital literacies framework which was launched in 2014. The framework, which is aimed at academic staff, is divided into four categories: learning and teaching, research, communication and collaboration, and administration. The session explores the strengths of a framework approach, the challenges it presents, but also the ongoing opportunities it offers compared to other digital literacy and capability initiatives.

Presenter: Teresa MacKinnon Organisation: University of Warwick Description: The Language Centre at the University of Warwick has been enhancing the language learning experiences of students through opportunities to connect directly with peers in other countries. The Clavier project began in 2011 using the Languages@Warwick platform as a shared point of contact. The portal course, known as EWC, incorporates Blackboard Collaborate tools for live and asynchronous contact and has provided a scalable model for other language courses which are now growing in Spanish and German classes at Warwick.

Mainstreaming Digital Curation:

This document discusses mainstreaming digital curation training and education for archives and records management professionals. It outlines approaches taken by University College London and the Section for Archives and Technology (SAT) to provide both theoretical and practical digital curation education. SAT works with the Archives and Records Association to develop training and competencies in digital curation from basic awareness to advanced technical problem solving and business planning for digital preservation. The goal is to help professionals develop skills from being "digital aware" to "digital ready".

This document discusses the development of reusable and portable educational content in New Zealand schools. It outlines efforts to break dependencies between content and learning management systems by developing content that can be easily shared and reused across different platforms. A conceptual model was created based on workflow analysis. Wikis were identified as a way to enable authoring, sharing and ensuring interoperability of content. Three work streams were proposed to cover these areas as well as interoperability with multiple learning environments. Challenges around policies, politics and perceptions of open educational resources were also discussed.

Salesforce for SIS - Eric Healing

The document discusses Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine's (LSTM) decision to implement Salesforce for its student information system (SIS). LSTM was founded in 1898 and became an independent higher education institution. It is considering an off-the-shelf SIS like Salesforce to replace its current system and integrate various student and program data into a single source of truth. The implementation would be rolled out over multiple years starting with student applications in 2014 and finishing with PhD students in 2016. Eric Healing, LSTM's IT Director, is presenting on why they are implementing a new SIS.

This document discusses developing a learning analytics strategy for a higher education institution (HEI). It provides an overview of key considerations in developing a strategy, including identifying goals and stakeholders, addressing privacy and ethics, selecting tools and platforms, collecting and analyzing data, and using insights to improve teaching and learning. The strategy discussed aims to help institutions gain a better understanding of the learner experience and identify areas for improvement through a responsible and ethical use of learning analytics.

Balancing the Books – the Economics of Digital Curation Training & Education

Jisc has funded several projects focused on training for digital curation. There is high demand for training from organizations taking on responsibility for digital assets, but current supply does not meet this demand. Economic theory suggests organizations are reluctant to fund general training that employees could use elsewhere. However, studies show younger and more educated employees participate more in training due to feelings of reciprocity with their employers. To better address the supply and demand imbalance for digital curation training, more research is needed on the origin of demand and effective course design at basic, intermediate, and advanced levels focused on productivity gains. Fostering trust and reciprocity between organizations and employees could also encourage greater uptake of available training opportunities.

Practicality vs Theory

This document summarizes the results of a survey of 204 recently graduated health sciences librarians regarding their masters of library science (MLS) education and preparation for careers in health sciences libraries. Key findings include: - 68% of respondents felt somewhat prepared for their duties by their MLS coursework. - The most important and available courses were online resources in health sciences and introductions to health sciences libraries. - Internships and work experience were identified in comments as important parts of preparation more than formal coursework. - Continued analysis of the data is planned to compare responses from hospital and academic librarians and evaluate individual MLS programs.

This document outlines a framework called DEDICATE for incorporating digital curation training into architectural education curricula. It discusses issues like architects' lack of digital data management skills, emerging regulations around building information modeling, and professional opportunities in digital design fields. The framework addresses these challenges by designing a digital curation module that teaches both management tasks and technical skills for preserving, storing, and providing access to digital architectural assets over time in accordance with legal and professional standards. The goals are to enhance architects' control over digital design products, improve their use of CAD technologies, and facilitate career renewal in digital cultural markets.

The document discusses the Information Culture Framework (ICF) as a tool for digital curators to understand the context in which digital information is created and used. It presents the ICF as a three-level model analyzing an organization's values regarding information, information-related competencies and skills, and IT governance structures. The ICF aims to raise awareness among digital curators of the various social and technological factors that influence how digital objects are created, used, and preserved. It is intended to complement other curation tools and be applied using ethnographic research methods.
