WELCOME
Firstly, two disclaimers! 1) I am not a digital expert by any means. I am passionate about continually improving my teaching with my Arts and Humanities Foundation Year students (including helping them to acquire/develop digital capabilities) and using whatever tools I can to help me do that. 2) I don't claim that what I say is universally true. I plan to share what I've been doing this year (along with Julian, who is an expert!) in our foundation year in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Nottingham - and to discuss that with you. I hope that together we'll pick up some new ideas and consider how we and our students - in our very varied contexts - can become more 'digitally capable'.

These are my four key questions for the session:
1. How digitally capable are the so-called 'digital natives'?
2. How digitally capable are academic teaching staff?
3. What is the relationship between pedagogy and technology?
4. Do HEIs provide appropriate support for fostering students' digital capabilities?

These are the broad six elements of the Jisc digital capabilities:
1. ICT (digital) proficiency
2. Information, data and media literacies (critical use)
3. Digital creation, problem-solving and innovation (creative production)
4. Digital communication, collaboration and participation (participation)
5. Digital learning and development (development)
6. Digital identity and wellbeing (self-actualising)

1. Go to canva.com (on a laptop) or download the app for phone or ipad.
2. Sign in or sign up (email address and password).

3. Create a new design: A 'presentation' is probably easiest, using an existing design.

4. Tap on the parts of the image you want to modify.

5. Upload to Padlet (or from Padlet) - or to ‘photos’ and then to padlet using as small as file size as possible: this may be rather fiddly on a phone!

The University of Nottingham has identified four 'Professional Competencies' to be additionally articulated and developed through the curriculum. The fourth is 'digital capabilities' and six elements are described, which align closely to the Jisc digital capabilities:
1. Information, data and media literacies
2. Digital learning and development
3. Digital participation
4. ICT proficiency
5. Creative production (where appropriate)
6. Digital identity and well-being

Disconnect between students' capability with their preferred technology and the technology UKHE might require them to use.

Made the image using the tool as people were talking. What I was thinking about is that we have an explosion of creativity and diversity in tech but limited guidance and criticality. We need focus and a way through.
