Developing Digital Literacies

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Digital literacy looks beyond functional IT skills to describe a richer set of digital behaviours, practices and identities. What it means to be digitally literate changes over time and across contexts, so digital literacies are essentially a set of academic and professional situated practices supported by diverse and changing technologies. This definition quoted above can be used as a starting point to explore what key digital literacies are in a particular context eg university, college, service, department, subject area or professional environment.

Digital literacies encompasses a range of other capabilities represented here in a seven elements model:

Digital literacy as a developmental process

Literacy is about development so understanding digital literacy in this way is important; we acquire language and become increasingly proficient over time and eventually reach a level of fluency. Beetham and Sharpe's framework (2010) describes digital literacy as a development process from access and functional skills to higher level capabilities and identity. However, this will change depending on the context so it also reflects how individuals can be motivated to develop new skills and practices in different situations. A number of institutions have adapted and used the framework in their digital literacy projects (view via UK Web Archive).

Defining digital literacy in your context

This and other models are useful tools for raising awareness and engaging stakeholders in discussions around digital literacies to develop a shared understanding and goals. They also have a practical application to help map how these might be developed, supported and evaluated.

Autonomy

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Autonomy means the ability to take control of one's own learning, independently or in collaboration with others. An autonomous learner will take more responsibility for learning and is likely to be more effective than a learner who is reliant on the teacher. Learner training in the classroom encourages autonomy and is an important element of language teaching.

Supporting online students

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Questions to consider

1. What support do your online students need that is different from campus-based students?

2. How can you involve students as co-creators?

3. How do you provide online learning students with institutional support?

Online learning students need new support mechanisms, and different ones to campus-based learners. Your institution may find it challenging to meet these different needs while still maintaining an equitable service for both groups of students. However, campus-based students may sometimes also be online students.

While they will sometimes need the same support, how an institution provides this support may vary considerably. It's likely that support will be required outside normal working hours, and will have to be offered using online technologies rather than in person.

Online learning also creates new support needs. Even something as straightforward as accessing the same online sources may require very different procedures for those accessing off campus.

Course activities and spaces

It's important that online students feel well connected to teaching staff and other students. If they're not encouraged to feel part of your institution, they may drop out.

Well-designed course activities can make them feel involved, but it's useful to provide additional online social spaces, such as dedicated discussion forums or regular live chat sessions, to encourage interaction. This also provides an opportunity for students to feed back about the course and their learning experience.

Regular communication with students by email or text can help maintain links with them and encourage them to participate in virtual institutional activities.

Administrative systems

Your institution will already offer campus-based student support services from various departments and buildings. As technologies are introduced, it's likely that some services will be duplicated as the roles and boundaries between departments become less clear.

Seemingly straightforward requirements, such as managing and updating student records, can present problems where departments operate different administrative and database systems. Online students can be put at a disadvantage if administrative systems do not link up.

There needs to be some way of recording if a student accesses support, and ensuring that either their needs are met or they are referred to other support. A teacher may have no information about which support mechanisms a campus-based student has accessed, but this may be different for online students.

Consistent support

Your institution should adopt a coherent approach to make sure online students have equitable access to all kinds of support: learning, technical, administrative and pastoral. Teaching staff tend to be on the front line of online student support as they may be the first point of contact.

If there aren't appropriate mechanisms to provide online support, students may have to rely on teaching staff or other students for support. This will place an extra burden on teaching staff, and learners might not get the support they should have.

Digital skills and communication

Students need help with technical and digital skills to become active learners online but also need support to develop confidence as an independent and lifelong learners. It's highly likely that they will need to be competent online communicators in their future professional lives, working collaboratively and sharing content and ideas.

Students as co-creators

Students can become co-creators of learning activity design, content development and curation, assessment banks, peer review and feedback. By including students in this way, your institution can help them become creative and innovative professionals.

It's feasible for students to develop a professional digital presence, networks, portfolios and even businesses during their course; these enable them to explore possible future pathways and leave the institution with a strong professional identity.

Lack of understanding of what support online students need

Engage with past, present and future students to find out what support they need

Gather intelligence from external sources

Allocating and managing staff support for different needs can be difficult

Consider alternative mechanisms to support students in different time zones

Offer staff guidance on roles and boundaries

Provide staff training and support

Lack of joined up systems to track where students have accessed support (and been referred onwards if needed)

Develop institution-wide policies about student tracking activities and data management

The importance of building online learning communities

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Taking an online course should be more than sitting in front of a computer - real engagement involves becoming a part of the community of learners.

Building Online Communities

Online learning communities can be educationally and personally fulfilling when students approach their courses with a commitment to initiate, respect, value, and fully engage in the material, dialogues, and group work. Much has been written about the importance of the relationship between students and faculty in online courses. More and more attention is being given to the tremendous influence of the online peer community.

The concept of peer learning recognizes that students are an important source of knowledge in addition to faculty and course material. Students are not passive receptacles to be filled with information, instead, they are active learners. Being a member of a learning community means engaging in reciprocal learning activities, soaking in new ideas and sharing perspectives and experiences to make meaning of the information. Learning happens through discussion, reflection, collaborative teamwork, and most importantly, taking initiative and responsibility to listen, question, and think critically within the community of fellow learners.

Asynchronous learning in online classes allows students to reflect and think about their responses prior to voicing them. Students learn a great deal by explaining their ideas to others and by participating in activities in which they can learn from their peers. They develop skills in organizing and planning learning activities, working collaboratively with others, giving and receiving feedback and evaluating their own learning. (Boud, Peer Learning in Higher Education)

Students Thoughts - Online Learning

In a previous article, I wrote about the characteristics of successful online students compared to those qualities needed for success in a residential classroom. Taking initiative to reach out to classmates in an online format may be one of the most important strategies for successfully building an online learning community. When I asked a number of online students to share their thoughts on the importance of peers in the online learning environment, and how they went about building online learning communities and relationships, they provided terrific insights:

These relationships help me when I am struggling in courses. Having strong relationships with my classmates is an important support system - they can totally relate to my experience.

Building a few supportive relationships with my classmates is critical because as an online student, it would be easy to miss the camaraderie that often exists in a traditional classroom. That same camaraderie online motivates and keeps me engaged in classes.

It helps to talk to someone else who has taken a class before me and can tell me what to expect, or discuss assignments and share insights.

My first semester I didn't "talk" (email, Facebook, etc...) to anyone outside of class and the work just seemed like work. It was interesting but it just didn't mean as much as when I finally made a significant connection with a classmate. Once I made that connection, I started to make others and realized what a difference it made in helping me feel more like a part of a community rather than a solo student doing homework online.

Having these relationships impacted my learning by giving me a more well-rounded and diverse experience. If you learn online only in your own bubble, you risk missing out on what your classmates can share with you. Additionally, it's comforting to know others are balancing jobs, families, and school just like me.

Help Build an Online Community

Encourage students to reach out to classmates with similar life circumstances as a first step in building relationships in the online learning community. Model how to read one another's discussion posts and follow up with additional probing questions. Lead students to share rich dialogues that enhance learning and relationships. I have found many online students share more and take more risks than in the residential classroom.

Introverted students have time to think and reflect on the material and their classmates' comments prior to constructing their own responses in online learning. Students may edit their comments before posting, as opposed to blurting out a response in a physical classroom that cannot be retrieved. The ideal online learning community is a safe space for risk taking, vulnerability, and sharing diverse ideas. Faculty and students share responsibility for creating and maintaining this learning environment.

To facilitate students engaging with one another, I created a "coffee shop" for my online courses. Students learn about one another, support each other through life stresses, and celebrate personal accomplishments. Over the years, I've heard stories of my online students traveling great distances to spend time together, attending one another's weddings, supporting classmates who are serving as caregivers for aging parents, and lifting up those going through various marital/familial challenges. Physically separated by distance, they are connected through their commitment to one another and to learning.

Online learning communities can be academically successful and personally life-changing when created, fostered, and sustained by all involved.

Education is so broad and every teacher teaches in a different way. Luckily, otherwise it would be boring. Think about flipped learning, mastery learning, microlearning, etc.

In this blog post I'll talk about another way of teaching: blended learning. I'll also show you some apps you can use to give a blended course.

The meaning of blended learning

Blended learning is also often called hybrid learning or mixed-mode learning. It's a mix between the traditional teaching in class and e-learning.

In a blended learning course, students are attending a class taught by the teacher AND they are also completing online components of the course outside the classroom.

So does this mean, students have less in-class time? That depends. The online part can be a supplement to the traditional teaching, but it can also replace in-class time by online learning experiences.

Take for example the flipped classroom. Flipped learning is an offspring of blended learning. Here students learn about the topic and the theory at home, so there's more time for the teacher to do exercises on the matter in class and help the students where needed. You could say that students actually do their homework in class.

3 Parts of blended learning

Blended learning doesn't have a fixed definition, but there is a general agreement among education innovators that blended learning has three important components.

1. There must be in-person classroom teaching by a trained educator or legitimate teacher.

2. Online learning material (mostly videos), often include pre-recorded lectures given by that same teacher.

3. There must be structured independent study time guided by the material in the lectures and skills must be developed during the classroom experience.

Finally a teachers' time and intentions are divided for the sake of the students. A blended course teacher uses the classroom time for activities that benefit the most from direct interaction. INTERACTION. No more boring and long lectures, but real interaction. It also keeps students motivated to go to your classes or to go to school in general.

Why should you use blended learning in your classroom?

These three core benefits of blended learning must really convince you to use it in your classroom. Take a look:

The interactive time in the classroom is meant to answer students' questions and to interactively work with them on the matter. When a student doesn't understand how things work, the teacher's core goal is to help that student. Because students have already learned about the topic at home, students discover their problems much quicker. This way, the teacher can address students needs better and quicker.

Some students can have difficulties with a certain topic or need more time to take in the lesson material. The online part has got this covered. Because you are making videos or other online material, the student can pause everything he wants and learn at his own pace. Blended learning is a solution for differentiation.

With BookWidgets you can make personalized exercises for your students in just minutes. Students can even test their learnings of the online session. Therefore, you can see who needs more face-to-face help. Blended learning also provides you with data and knowledge for instructional decision making.

Of course, blended learning has more benefits than those three. There's more flexibility for students and teachers, blended learning offers varied ways for students to engage and demonstrate their leaning, teachers and students get the opportunity to develop their technology skills and some technologies facilitate a specific kind of learning activity that might not be possible without the technology.

Apps for blended learning

Take a look at this post about video apps in the classroom. You can use almost every app in this list for blended learning or in the flipped classroom. My top 5 apps to teach blended courses are:

I've already mentioned the app BookWidgets above. That's a good app to give interactive exercises and tests that get automatically graded. You can use them in class, to do some exercises or you can let your students use BookWidgets at home. With the WebQuest widget you can make a great lesson and embed instructional videos.

Of course, there are much more apps you can use for blended learning, but I would start trying out these few. I'm sure they cover everything you need for a blended lesson.
