I recently wrote for BCcampus as a part of their "Digital Pedagogy Toolbox Series". In my article, I explored how educators and learners can develop digital competencies and skills by using the B.C. Post-Secondary Digital Literacy Framework as a roadmap. The framework includes eight thematic competencies within digital literacy: 1) ethical and legal; 2) technology; 3) information literacy; 4) digital scholarship; 5) communication and collaboration; 6) creation and curation; 7) digital well-being; and 8) community-based learning.
What #DigitalLiteracy was 20 years ago is certainly not the same today. Today, as learners, educators, and digital citizens, we are not just consumers of digital content, we are also creators, curators, and contributors and along the way, we are all leaving our digital footprints behind.#DigitalCompetencies that underline digital literacy involve a deeper understanding of how to use digital tools and technologies in various contexts, adapt to new digital environments, and critically evaluate digital information.
As Educators, integrating digital literacy into every aspect of the learning journey is not just a pedagogical choice; it’s an ethical imperative.
