Motivation, Challenge and Ways forward

Motivation: To promote digital literacies in teaching and learning.

Challenge: Many Web 2.0 tools used to promote digital literacies are not designed by educationalists or developed specifically for teaching and learning, but there is an increasing demand and call for teachers to use them to share content, support learners and for inter-institution collaboration.

Ways forward: As well as traditional forms of best practice dissemination, such as lunchtime seminars and planned workshops, this blog is a space to share findings and case studies aimed at enhancing digital literacies. On the home page you will find updates from the Digital Literacy project team who are working to scope and develop staff and students' awareness of digital literacy. The School tabs/pages listed along the top allow an opportunity to share disciplines specific practices that have cross-disciplinary value in promoting ways to foster digital literacy.
