Part of an Educational Strategy?
“our students will be equipped to live, thrive, learn, work, collaborate, influence and lead in the increasingly digital and connected world”
Prof Hugh Davis, Director CITE, University of Southampton
We need to develop digital
literacies
We must provide learning experiences that encourages DL
We need real world learning environment
(inc BYOD)
Strategies & Policies to support above
In a connected world
DIGITAL LITERACIES?
Information LITERACYICT Skills
Digital Scholarship
Content creation
Content curation Collaborating online
Communication
Online identity Evaluating Applications
Digital literacies are the skills needed to live, learn
work, collaborate, influence and lead in the virtual
digital world
We are preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist, using work-practices we don’t yet know, supported by tools not yet invented.
“DIGITAL LITERACY DEFINES THOSE CAPABILITIES
which fit an individual for living, learning and working in a digital society”

What’s wrong with VLE’s?
!
Don’t encourage learners to take responsibility for their own learning, tools or digital literacy
Outdated view of teaching as “push”Teacher at the centre not the student or the network
Not integrated with tools & environments for education
Closed to networked learning
Lock you in

The VLE is Dead - long live the PLE
An aside on the “Digital Natives” argumentLearning has not changedExpectations of how it should be
done has Students are familiar with Facebook
but not how to use tech for education
Better distinction: ‘Digital Visitors & Residents’
(Le Cornu & White, 2009)
How do digital residents behave?

They have their own toolkits

They build on-line identity and Reputation
Profiles, blogs, Twitter, social media tools
Contributions: YouTube, SlideShare etc
What does the web think of you? Social Mention, Reppler, Klout
Digital Open Badges

HIGH EXPECTATIONS
87% COLLEGE STUDENTS CONSIDER TECHNOLOGY WHEN DECIDING ON WHICH
UNIVERSITY
92% HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS SAID TECHNOLOGY
IS KEY DIFFERENTIATOR(21ST CENTURY CAMPUS REPORT)
CHALLENGES?
POLICY & SECURITYMost of the time people only want access to the
internet (including University intranet sites)
When accessing university systems we need a password challenge and single sign on
Already in place: Acceptable use; Virus protection
Password protection of devicesProblem is they are not enforceable - its a social
thing!
ADDRESSING SECURITY CONCERNS
photo credit: JohnGoode via photopin cc
Require users to register every device
Utilise two-factor authentication
Provide anti-virus/malware software
Scanning devices
Educating students and staff
Verifiying users’ understanding
Locking down core networkRelying on virtualisation and internal cloud
CDWG, Bring Your own Device, “Adapting the Flood of Personal mobile computing accessing campus networks”
Some issues Universities must decideWhat devices will we support?
How will we support them?
Who will pay for software/apps?
Access to University systems?
If the Uni supplies it, who owns it (eg Apple ID’s?)
Letting go of control but still ensuring reliable and secure systems - tricky balance
Well supported BYOD environment aligned to university strategies offers benefits:
Enables technology rich classrooms
Inititates new ways of learning
Increases student engagement
Thank you
Develop digital literacies for staff and students Have clear, flexible policies and strategy in place Provide learning experiences that encourage DL
Ensure students have a ‘real world’ learning environment
