Presentation summarising the findings of the two-year Developing Digital Literacies programme, which looked at strategic approaches to supporting staff, students and managers in universities and colleges in making the most of digital opportunities
This case study will present findings on developing digital competencies for Library staff arising from the L2L project (www.L2L.ie). L2L was a two year collaborative project based in Ireland led by Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT), with Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) and Institute of Technology Carlow (ITC). This project was funded by the National Forum for Teaching and Learning with the aim of exploring its professional development framework (https://www.teachingandlearning.ie/wp-content/uploads/NF-2016-National-Professional-Development-Framework-for-all-Staff-Who-Teach-in-Higher-Education.pdf) through the lens of library staff.
This case study will consider how library staff can identify and chart the development of digital competencies and skills so as to remain current and viable in a constantly evolving digital landscape using the framework. Reflections will be offered on how engaging with the Professional Development Framework and more specifically Domain 5: Personal and Professional Digital Capacity in Teaching, can foster the development of personal proficiency/knowledge in digital competencies thus supporting our role in Teaching and Learning and our professional practice. The concept of drafting a “digital philosophy statement” will be considered and how this can be potentially used as a sustainable CPD tool.
Hand-out designed to support strategic thinking about the digital literacies agenda, including organisational change, looking at staff roles/responsibilities, and recommendations to institutions from the JISC Learning Literacies for a Digital Age study.
Improving Digital Capability through Digital Literaciesjisc-elearning
Digital capability is critical to learning, living and working in the C21st. The specific role of higher education, as laid out by successive UK Governments, is to equip a generation of learners with high level skills for the global knowledge economy and – more recently – lead a national recovery based around digital industries (Livingstone and Hope 2011).
Students too expect that higher education will equip them for employment in a digital economy, and for participation in a digitally-mediated society. NSS returns show that ICT facilities and support services are being more harshly judged, as students who have grown up digital – and experienced e-learning during school – expect higher standards of provision. There is evidence from the introduction of student fees in the UK that ICT provision is a factor affecting where students will choose to study (JISC/IPSOS MORI 2008).
The evidence from more than 75 proposals to the JISC Developing Digital Literacies programme is that the digital learning experience is also being used as a marker of institutional distinctiveness. Universities need rethink their offer, from induction to graduation and into research careers, in terms of the digital experiences students have and the digital practices they encounter (Beetham et al, 2009).
This session will introduce tools for auditing and developing digital capability at an institutional and departmental level, including student-facing surveys, competence frameworks mapped to professional body standards, and models of organisational change. Participants will also explore a number of different models for becoming a successful digital institution, based on the outcomes of previous JISC work.

Developing sustainable staff development for online teachers: What works and ...RichardM_Walker
The Covid-19 pandemic has underlined the importance of online teaching within higher education and provided further encouragement to institutions to develop their fully online course provision - a trend which has been gathering pace over recent years. It has challenged universities and colleges to think about how they support their faculty in developing the competencies and strategies to teach effectively online.
Looking to the future, how do we support the continuous professional learning and development (CPLD) of online instructors, addressing the needs of both new and more experienced online practitioners, with equal attention to their pedagogical knowledge and technical skills development? What works and why within an online teaching context? In this presentation we will present a CPLD model that provides an overview of the different sources of learning development that are available to online instructors - both within and outside the teaching institution – and how they are interrelated and interconnected as part of a wider ecology of CPLD support to staff. We explain how these different sources of support may be combined to support personalised learning development pathways in online teaching practice, drawing on illustrations of evidence-based CPLD practices from staff developers and academics from across the world (Forbes & Walker, 2022).

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Outcomes from the Jisc Developing Digital Literacies programme
relevant to subject teaching in the disciplines
2. Digital 'literacies'...
… fluencies, capabilities, scholarship, professionalism...
It is the first part of the term that really matters because
digital information, data, networks and associated tools and
services are fundamentally changing our society
(and specifically the knowledge practices of subjects)
but the changes are becoming less easy to discern
so we need to ask (right now, while we can)
what capabilities, aptitudes and attitudes will students
need to thrive in a digital (post-digital) society?
what kind of experiences can we offer - rooted in our
subject practices - that are going to be relevant?
3. Findings from DDL on curriculum teaching
Digital capabilities are multiple, discipline specific, hybrid,
contextualised...
Digital activities should be authentically part of the
courses of study in which students have invested
Digital identity involves the development of values which
are owned by specific communities of practice: criticality,
managing data, public/private boundaries, safety, originality...
Digital reputation is an important aspect of identity work
for graduates, scholars and professionals
Formal learning in curriculum structures is most common
route to using digital technologies for knowledge-building
and in reflective, creative, critical, professional ways

How is the subject area changing – due to digital
technologies – e.g. in the different aspects of practice?
How are these changes communicated with students
and explored in the curriculum?
What digital experiences can the subject offer that are
not available to students through other routes?
What activities – already part of the curriculum – could
have (public) digital outcomes?
What digital capabilities are a pre-requisite for engaging
with the subject at a higher level (and how can we
ensure this requirement does not become a barrier to
access or a structural inequality)?

Digital practices
Hybrid practices: informal/formal contexts
institutional/personal/public technologies
academic/digital know-how
work/home life
Hidden practices: personal study habits, outsourced
curriculum, third party software/services,'coping'
mechanisms, 'workarounds'
Often acquired from close peers, but specialised, complex
and established practices still require formal support
Practice innovators may be ignored/undervalued e.g.
teaching administrators, subject librarians, PGRs, GTAs
Students’ digital practices are predominantly developed
and contextualised within their programmes of study
