[Irtalk] Developing students' digital literacy | Jisc

[Hilton Gibson]

Even today’s students need support with some areas of digital practice,
particularly in an academic context, so it’s important to make sure that
these needs are met.

While employability is an obvious driver, developing students who can learn
and thrive in a digital society is a key role for universities and colleges.

*We define digital literacies as the capabilities which fit someone for
living, learning and working in a digital society.*

digital literacy for consideration, which can be seen in the following
