2. “I believe that people need to hear
a range of opinions”
“When I learn about something … I
will write about it in a way to inform
and educate people who haven’t
had a chance to study what I am
studying”

in upskilling students in their digital literacy

7. What is Information and Digital
Literacy?
“Information and digital literacy (IDL) blends information literacies, with
digital capabilities transcending technological skills and tools to
embrace an understanding of what it means to learn, live and work in
a fluid digital world. IDL enables learners to discover and absorb
information in a critically engaged manner, innovate in active pursuits
of creative scholarship and demonstrate integrity by acknowledging
the work of others.”

Some further thoughts on digital literacy from Rafe
Hallett
Digital literacy involves
Bricolage (tinkering)
Hyper-visualisation (think about a range
of media – not just text)
Collectively produced knowledge

20. THE TASK FOR TODAY
Think of a programme you are
familiar with.
Map the programme to the six
literacies, indicating what you are you
already doing well and what you
could do next to fill the gaps.
Think about opportunities for student
collaboration and the inclusion of a
range of media in the programme, eg
images, apps, blogs, Google docs
