Library Subject Guides
Digital technologies have transformed education and research, bringing new ways of knowing about and studying the world. Alongside the traditional literacies we've required in order to engage in a university environment, we now also need to draw upon a breadth of digital literacies.
These digital literacies support the development of more traditional literacies and lifelong learning. Academic programmes need to develop students' learning abilities and transferable skills — including digital literacies — to ensure that graduates have the learning abilities to be successful not only in their academic endeavors but also in the wider world.
This site provides useful guidance and materials to support the development of students' digital literacies in academic programmes, including advice for embedding digital literacies, and details of training opportunities and student support.
The Library's academic & digital skills team can work with you to review digital literacy provision in academic programmes. We are happy to advise on:
The team provides support to staff and students in the development of digital capabilities, though generic and discipline-specific training sessions, as well as one-to-one support and consultations. We also have resources you can repurpose or reuse.
