Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

The Higher Education Digital Capability framework identifies four core dimensions along the learner lifecycle: Demand & Discovery (DD), Learning Design (LD), Learner Experience (LX) and Work & Lifelong Learning (WL). Within these are sixteen capability groups or ‘domains’, with more than 70 capability blocks adding a further level of detail. Overall, the framework is designed to allow flexibility and interpretation in context; some institutions will find almost every capability block relevant to their organisational structure, activities and aspirations, whilst others will focus on a more specific set of capabilities applicable to their individual context.

We all make assumptions based on looks and the same is true when it comes to elearning. Learning Designer, Lisa McGeady, explains the importance of ‘putting yourself in your learner’s shoes’ and how this can create a memorable elearning experience.
