The UKZN Teaching & Learning Office (UTLO) cordially invites you to a webinar on Digital Literacy – A Driver for Curriculum Transformation.
About the Seminar:
Technological advances have dramatically changed the nature of employment, placing demands on higher education to ensure graduates are adequately prepared to work and participate in the digital economy. It is thus necessary to critically review what is meant by digital literacy in a higher education context to determine the underpinning skills that inform curriculum transformation to cultivate valued graduate attributes.
In this presentation, Professor Jo Coldwell-Neilson will explore digital literacy definitions and frameworks and propose a model that provides the foundation to drive curriculum transformation. To this end, she will interrogate a digital capability continuum that fluidly moves between digital foundation skills, digital literacies, and digital fluency. The associated model and framework underscore the capabilities needed to be flexible and portable across technologies, disciplines, and the world of work.
