Developing Digital Literacies is a two-year JISC-funded programme to promote the development of coherent, inclusive approaches to developing digital literacies across institutions of further and higher education.

Many learners enter further and higher education lacking the skills they need to study effectively in technology-rich environments. As 90% of new jobs will require excellent digital skills, improving digital literacy is an essential component of developing employable graduates. Staff also require up-to-date skills as the core practices of education - teaching, learning, research, professional practice and communicating knowledge - are deeply impacted by digital media.

This page is a jumping-off point for the activities and outcomes of the programme. It is designed primarily for use by project and programme teams, but following the principles of open development, the resources are open to all to use and re-use. Please bear in mind that resources are developmental and may not be in their final form.
