  6. Today’s questions • How widespread is the use of the Jisc definition of digital capabilities (DC)? • Are ICT strategies driving digital capabilities development? • Where does responsibility for developing and supporting DCs sit in institutions? What methods are used? • Are student DC achievements recognised? • What does the future hold for DC development?

  7. How widespread is the use of the Jisc definition of digital capabilities (DC)?

  8. Jisc definition of Digital Capabilities • Q1.1 To begin with, does your institution, or any parts of it, use the Jisc definition of digital capabilities? • “By digital literacy we mean those capabilities which fit an individual for living, learning and working in a digital society.”

  9. Jisc definition of Digital Capabilities

  10. Is it important to accept one definition of digital capabilities? Question

  11. Digital capabilities:the 6 elements Jisc, 2017 tinyurl.com/JISC-DC

  12. Jisc definition - recommendations • R.1.1 “review the Jisc definition of digital capabilities (this could include the conceptualisation of digital capabilities); this work to be informed by the analysis of the other definitions” • R.1.2 “agreed definition be further promoted”

  13. Are ICT strategies driving digital capabilities development?

  14. Institutional Strategies for DCs • Q2.3 How important are these institutional strategies (or nearest equivalent) for supporting and reinforcing the importance of digital capabilities in your institution?

  15. According to the survey, which are the top 5 institutional strategies driving digital capabilities development? tinyurl.com/DCG-P1 Poll

  16. Institutional Strategies for DCs - 2014

  17. Institutional Strategies for DCs - 2017

  18. Institutional Strategies for DCs - 2017 Very important Fairly important Not very important Not at all important

  19. Institutional Strategies – Key findings • 2.3.1 Key findings • “number of respondents…moving away from individual strategies to more over-arching, institution- and topic-wide strategies or ambitions”

  20. Where does responsibility for developing and supporting DCs sit in institutions? What methods are used?

  21. Developing and Supporting DC • Q3.6 Whichdepartments take the lead in helping students develop their digital capabilities and what methods do they use? Please select all that apply within each department.

  22. Are student digital capabilities achievements recognised?

  23. Recognising student achievement in DC • Q3.10 How is student achievement, in respect of their digital capabilities, recognised? Please select all that apply.

  24. Recognising student achievement in DC

  25. Recognition for DC - recommendations • R.3.7 “That institutions develop the use of HEAR to build digital capability outcomes into the curriculum and to record and recognise student attainment”

  26. What does the future hold for DC development?

  27. Key initiatives in next two years • Q5.2 Which key initiatives focusing on building digital capability does your institution plan to implement, scope or investigate in the next two years?

  28. Future DC Initiatives

  29. How will you use the findings from the DC Report? Questions and Comments

  30. How important is TEF as a driver for the development of DCs?

  31. TEF impact on DC development • Q2.4 Thinking specifically about the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), has the institution taken any actions as a result of TEF that have impacted (or will impact) on the development of student and staff digital capabilities?

  32. Has TEF impacted the development of student and staff digital capabilities at your institution? If so, how? Discussion

  33. 35% have taken action as a result of TEF

  34. TEF – actions taken • “Changes to the curriculum which include Digital fluency as a programme attribute” • “TEF is at the heart of the University's new strategy, particularly the Education strategy.” • “University wide TEF Group has been established which is looking at Learning Analytics and interventions.” • “metrics used to inform the TEF are being used to guide our priorities...
