‘TEL’ Me About… Digital Capability
Wednesday 22nd February, 1pm – 2pm in HG147
Digital Capabilities can be defined as the skills and/or competencies required for living, learning and working in a digital society (Jisc, 2015).
The Jisc <A HREF="http://blog.yorksj.ac.uk/moodle/2016/06/06/spotlight-on-digital-capabilities-i-what-are-digital-capabilities/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Digital Capability Framework</A> provides a structure to help individuals understand what skills are needed and supports the development of staff & students. Following extensive sector-wide consultation, and an evidence-informed approach to development, Jisc have produced an initial model of the framework which describes digital capability as six overlapping elements: ICT Proficiency; Information, Data & Media Literacies; Digital Creation Innovation & Scholarship; Communication, Collaboration & Participation; Digital Learning & Self Development; and Digital Identity & Wellbeing.
“Effective use of digital technology by university and college staff is vital in providing a compelling student experience and in realising a good return on investment in digital technology.” (Jisc, 2015)
Even today’s students need support with some areas of digital capability, particularly in an academic context, so it’s important to make sure that these needs are met. In addition to the general definition provided above, Jisc have also created four example Digital Capability profiles for <A HREF="http://blog.yorksj.ac.uk/moodle/2016/06/07/spotlight-on-digital-capabilities-ii-developing-student-digital-capabilities/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">students</A>, <A HREF="http://blog.yorksj.ac.uk/moodle/2016/06/08/spotlight-on-digital-capabilities-iii-developing-academic-staff-digital-capabilities/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">academics</A>, <A HREF="http://blog.yorksj.ac.uk/moodle/2016/06/09/spotlight-on-digital-capabilities-iv-developing-researcher-digital-capabilities/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">researchers</A> and <A HREF="http://blog.yorksj.ac.uk/moodle/2016/06/10/spotlight-on-digital-capabilities-v-developing-leadership-digital-capabilities/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">leaders</A>, and we’ll explore each of these in more detail in this interactive workshop.
