The document describes DigiQuest, an online challenge developed by Edge Hill University's Learning Services department to improve staff digital capabilities. Staff participated in a workshop where they mapped their current digital skills and identified areas for growth. This informed the creation of DigiQuest on Blackboard, consisting of six sections for the JISC digital capability categories. Staff completed various digital tasks to earn badges and prizes. 65 staff participated, spending over 325 hours on tasks. Feedback was very positive, with many reporting increased skills and confidence with digital tools relevant to their roles.

TDeveloping and Assessing the Digital Curriculum: Taking a Programme-Level Ap...telshef
This session reflects two University initiatives, giving participants the chance to discuss how digital and information literacies and skills of our students can be integrated widely into a programme-level curriculum. Tom Clark (Sociological Studies) will reflect on a University-funded ‘Inside Knowledge’ project that utilised Killen and Chatterton’s 2015 model of staff-student partnership to map levels of digital literacy within a sociology programme. It will explain how the seven key areas of digital literacy proposed by Jisc to create a measurement tool to assess the digital curricula, before exploring how this resonated with students’ expectations, experience and capabilities of the programme. Vicky Grant (Library) will present an initiative by the University Library, in partnership with staff and student stakeholders, to develop a model, framework and offer for Information and Digital Literacy (IDL) at the University of Sheffield.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. DigiQuest – Developing Staff Digital
Capabilities With An Online Pirates Of
Ormskirk Challenge!
Heather Johnston
Leah Wilson
Edge Hill University
3. The Beginning
Following the Learning Services Digital Strategy
2016, we were given a project to achieve the
following…
• Improve LS staff awareness of their digital skills
and potential areas for improvement.
• Increase confidence and skills related to using
various digital tools.
• Improve LS staff ability to support students with
using tools for learning.
4. Getting Started
Our department has approx. 100 staff,
with a wide range of roles, digital
capabilities and priorities.
As a starting point, we wanted to see
what digital skills our staff already have
and what areas they would like to
improve on.
5. Digital Map Workshop
We ran a workshop with
our Customer Services
team which aimed to
map their current digital
skills and their levels of
confidence in using
different technologies.
The pirate theme was
born!
6. We used David White’s Visitors and Residents model and asked
staff to complete maps showing what technologies they
currently use.
7. Visitors and Residents
Their placement of a technology on the map showed whether they
used them personally or professionally and whether they use them as a
Visitor (leaving no trace) or as a Resident (leaving a trace behind).
Personal
Work
ResidentVisitor
8. Visitors and Residents
We then asked staff to annotate their
maps to say how they felt about each of
the different digital tools they used.
Happy? Anxious? Interested?
Disengaged? Need more training?
9. Visitors and Residents
Finally, we asked staff to decide which of the six JISC
digital capability categories each tool fitted into, and
mark the map as appropriate.
1) ICT Proficiency
2) Information and data literacies
3) Digital creation and innovation
4) Digital learning and self development
5) Communication and collaboration
6) Digital identity and wellbeing
13. Message in a Bottle
As staff left the workshop, they all posted a
scroll in the rum bottle with a digital tool
they would like to learn more about.
14. Planning
We decided we wanted to make an
online course on Blackboard for LS staff
to work through.
We continued the pirate theme, naming
it DigiQuest.
The course contained six sections – each
representing one of the JISC digital
capabilities.
Within each section were a variety of
digital tasks.
15. Planning
We used the following to choose the digital tasks
to include…
• Knowledge of LS priorities
• Gaps/needs identified from digital maps
session
• Individual messages in a bottle
• JISC Digital Capability Profiles
16. Planning
The goal was not for staff to reach specific
levels of proficiency with specific tools, but
for Learning Services staff to choose which
skills they wanted to develop – promoting
independent learning.
We tried to relate tasks to Learning
Services activities and real-life scenarios as
much as possible.
17. Reward
Each task in DigiQuest was worth a
certain amount of coins.
Staff had to earn a minimum of 10 coins
per section to earn the digital badge for
that section.
Once staff had all six digital badges,
they could claim their course certificate.
18. Incentive!
We gave staff six weeks to work through
DigiQuest.
All staff who had completed the course (achieved
all six badges) by this time were entered into a
draw.
Four prizes of £25 vouchers for the store of their
choice were available.
20. Promotion!
We sent an initial email out
advertising the course, and
weekly update emails to
keep staff motivated.
Managers also promoted
the course at team
meetings and encouraged
their staff to get involved.
21. Participation
• Over the six weeks, 65 Learning Services staff
participated in DigiQuest.
• Between them they spent 325hrs + 52 mins
completing tasks to enhance their digital
capabilities.
• The average time spent on the course was 5
hours.
• They achieved 138 digital badges.
22. Winners!
We put the names of the people
who had achieved all six badges
into our trusted pirate hat and
pulled out our four winners!
One of our winners was Leah –
who will now talk about her
experience of DigiQuest!
