Ithaca College

The webinar is organized by the New Media Consortium (NMC), of which Ithaca College is a member.

Wednesday, February 22, 9:00-10:00 a.m.
Center for Faculty Excellence, 316 Gannett Center

From NMC:  “Digital literacy goes beyond gaining isolated technological skills to generating a deeper understanding of the digital environment, enabling intuitive adaptation to new contexts and co-creation of content with others. Institutions are charged with developing students’ digital citizenship, ensuring mastery of responsible and appropriate technology use, including online communication etiquette and digital rights and responsibilities in blended and online learning settings and beyond. This new category of competence is affecting curriculum design, professional development, and student-facing services and resources.”

The webinar will feature a panel who will discuss established frameworks and strategies for implementing digital literacy initiatives and activities.  The panel includes Bryan Alexander, a well-known speaker and writer in the field of how technology transforms education;  Helen Beetham, a writer who co-authored “Rethinking Pedagogy for a Digital Age” and “Rethinking Learning for a Digital Age”;  Cheryl Brown, who has studied  the role of personal devices play in students learning in a developing context and the development of students' digital literacy practices; and Yves Punie, who focuses on the potential of digital technologies to innovate education and training practices, improve access to lifelong learning and to deal with the rise of new (digital) skills and competences needed for employment, personal development and social inclusion.
