I was late to discovering an excellent activity series offered by BCcampus, the Digital Literacy Challenge, an eight week series of activities designed to be done independently, but also with opportunities for live discussion sessions.
These are aligned with the BC Digital Literacy Framework (linked below) which is a very useful resource on its own.
Join us on this eight-week asynchronous challenge to expand your digital literacy toolkit. During this series, you will learn about the eight competencies outlined in the B.C. Digital Literacy Framework, strategies for incorporating these skills into your teaching practice, and how to support student success through digital literacy.
Please register if you would like to receive the Monday emails and Zoom links.
You will receive one challenge in your inbox each Monday morning over the course of eight weeks. Each challenge will address the following:
- What: a definition of the digital literacy competency
- Why: the importance of each competency in teaching practice
- How: approaches for developing the competency in our own learning, and how to incorporate these skills in our teaching practice
Interactive activities and thoughtful prompts will help you learn how to incorporate digital literacy into your teaching practice and generate ideas on how to teach these skills to students. Sharing your thoughts, ideas, and questions in the comments is optional, but please feel free to use the comments section to learn, share, and explore!
They are making good use of H5P in these challenges framed as a “Quest”. The fifth of eight challenges just came out, but all are available for use at any time. So far these are the ones that have been published so far.
- Begin Your Quest: Start Here
- Challenge One: Ethical & Legal Considerations
- Challenge Two: Technology Supports
- Challenge Three: Information Literacy
- Challenge Four: Digital Scholarship
- Challenge Five: Communication and Collaboration
What do you think of these activities? We’d like to hear as well as I am sure, BCcampus people would as well.
