Skills Education

The digital world is becoming increasingly pervasive in our lives.

We use digital devices to communicate, learn, work, and play, and the ability to use, understand, create and critically analyse information is vital.

We know learners must acquire digital literacy skills to participate in work, education and general life.

We know that all jobs of the future will require digital skills. So how do we adequately prepare ourselves and our students?

Drawing on numerous authorative sources and frameworks, this session will:

• Define what digital literacy is understood to be - and how this is different to digital skills and information literacy
• Unpack workforce digital skills needs - and what this means for our students
• Analyse digital capability and relevant frameworks
• Identify barriers to building digital capability for students - and suggest ways to overcome those
• Put forward strategies to assist students to build critical thinking and information literacy
• Reinforce the vital role of the educator
