SLiDA Case Studies
Key findings from Slida 1
WHAT are institutions doing to support the development of learners for a digital age?
1. Preparing students for their experience of learning with technology
2. Enabling learners to use their own devices and services
3. Reconfiguring campus spaces for social learning
4. Listening to learner voices
5. A strategic emphasis on course design for blended learning
Key findings from SLiDA 2
HOW are institutions implementing their strategies and policies for developing learners for a digital age?
Activity 1
Visit each of the posters (4 mins x 5 posters)
Listen, question, leave a sticker:
• Green: we are already doing this, and evaluating it
• Yellow: we are starting to do this
• Red: we aren’t doing this
HOW findings from Slida 2
1. Use audit tools to find out where you are and to help agree where change is needed
2. Factor in time to consult about the nature of digital literacy
3. Contextualise digital literacies within the discipline/programme, using stories, examples, frameworks
4. Involve lots of different people
5. Start with what students already know and use
6. Build respectful, two way relationships with students
7. Support incremental progression
Activity 2
Go back to one of the posters where you would like to effect change
Form a group or groups of 4-6
Use the ‘HOW’ findings to plan how to take this forward at your institutions
Be prepared to feedback
‘What would help me take this forward is….’
