6 Tips for Conducting a Digital Literacy Assessment

6 Tips for Conducting a Digital Literacy Assessment | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.thetechedvocate.org - January 21, 2022 1:29 PM
Digital literacy is a skill that is a fundamental need for most institutions, especially with the amount of technology used in the world. Unfortunately, many companies and institutions are not investing enough time or money to cultivate this skill. 

One way this could be addressed is by conducting what some people call digital literacy assessments. These are tests and surveys that measure an individual’s digital literacy level. 

By understanding where these individuals stand, the institutions and companies will be able to craft and plan for learning programs to heighten this skill. There are a few tips to conducting these assessments that can help them go smoother and be more efficient, and below we will look at some of these.

Close Reading Tips for Students

Close Reading Tips for Students | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.educatorstechnology.com - March 26, 2020 2:52 PM
Close reading is an essential survival skill specially now that we live in a data-saturated world where we are constantly bombarded by all forms of textual and non-textual stimuli. At its core, close reading is a metacognitive practice that allows you  to achieve a deeper understanding of complex texts. It is a methodically analytical process that aims at deconstructing both the surface and deeper meanings of a text through a close analysis of its language. Close readers pay attention to syntax, lexicon and linguistic cues that can help uncover the implicit import of a textual output.

Visual Design Tips For eLearning Professionals

Visual Design Tips For eLearning Professionals | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From elearningindustry.com - October 11, 2019 5:08 PM
The visual design of your eLearning course should help learners understand and retain the content, as well as minimize confusion. Nowadays, with all the relatively easy-to-use graphic design and eLearning authoring tools, all of us who don’t have a degree in design can create good-looking courses. Of course, if you want to create more complicated things, such as custom illustrations, custom animated videos, custom characters, etc., you need more in-depth knowledge and skills.

Desirable Difficulties in Convenient Coursework

Desirable Difficulties in Convenient Coursework | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.facultyfocus.com - May 8, 2019 1:25 PM
The phrase “desirable difficulties” was first coined in the nineties by psychologist Robert Bjork to describe learning conditions that introduced inconveniences to yield greater learner retention of material. According to the literature, the more work that is required to learn a concept, the greater the mastery (Sparks, 2011). To illustrate, a classical example of a desirable difficulty is found in the use of flashcards as study tools. Flashcards typically display only partial information, as a cue for the user to recall a more complete set of facts. When compared to lecture notes, flashcards require a student to work harder in recalling materials and are therefore especially effective study tools. As such, flashcards have been popular among students for decades.

The Most Crucial Two Minutes of Class | Faculty Focus

The Most Crucial Two Minutes of Class | Faculty Focus | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.facultyfocus.com - April 25, 2019 5:14 PM

As an educator, I have an embarrassing confession: When I was younger, I was an incredibly difficult student.

Read something? … On a good day, maybe I’d do some skimming.  

Prepare ahead of time? … Nah, another student will do the talking.

Pay attention in class? … What for? Why does this even matter to me?!

 

There within that last cringe-worthy question lies the problem. For anyone who has been at the front of a classroom, you know that one of the greatest obstacles to learning is student apathy. To help overcome this barrier, I recommend the “motivation step,” a brief, introductory discussion designed to articulate why the material is significant to a student’s real-world success.

How to Be a Better Online Teacher

How to Be a Better Online Teacher | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.chronicle.com - April 18, 2019 4:15 AM

Whether you’ve taught online a lot or a little, chances are you didn’t enjoy it as much as teaching in person. Maybe you didn’t experience that fizz after a particularly invigorating face-to-face class. Indeed, according to a 2017 Educause survey, only 9 percent of academics prefer to teach “in a completely online environment.” That means a whopping 91 percent of us don’t. And I suspect that a good majority of that 91 percent would prefer to teach anywhere but online.

Google Says Don't Change URLs When Replacing Old Content With New Content | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From snip.ly - December 18, 2018 4:59 PM

So let's say you decided to update the content on a page on your web site, the content is super out dated and needs a major revamp. When you update the content, it doesn't mean you need to put that new content on a new URL, you can just update the content on the existing URL. In fact, Google recommends it.

Adding content to older pages lives by Google's QDF (Quality Deserves Freshness) rule and reduces quantity in favor of quality. That last part, the reduction of quantity in favor of quality, seems to be motivating Google's latest algorithm changes (to the extent anyone can understand why Google does anything.

Those who teach in the health disciplines expect their students to retain and apply every iota of learned material. However, many students come to us having achieved academic success by memorizing the content, regurgitating that information onto an exam, and promptly forgetting a good portion of it. In health, as well as other disciplines where new material builds upon the material from the previous semesters, it is critical for students to retain what they learn throughout their coursework and as they begin their careers as a nurse, engineer, elementary teacher, etc.

When Linda Eunson started her online degree in psychology at the Open University, she didn’t expect it to take eight years to complete.

“During that time I have moved house four times, changed jobs once, and got married,” the 47-year-old explains. The death of her teenage stepson soon after her own mother’s death also meant she was forced to suspend her studies for a year.

Google Search Tips- 2 Important Resources for Students

Google Search Tips- 2 Important Resources for Students | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.educatorstechnology.com - June 13, 2019 3:54 PM

Google is definitely one of the major entry ports for searching the net. Knowing how to conduct effective and smart search queries on Google has become an important skill for 21st century students. There is an over-abundance of information online and unfortunately a decent amount of the online knowledge is amateurish, unfiltered and at worse misinforming. This is why Googling the world wide web goes beyond randomly typing a bunch of words and waiting for the ‘feeling lucky’ button to do its work; it’s rather an informed process that takes into consideration a wide range of variables that include the choice of the words we use in our queries, the positioning of these words in a search phrase, the use of operators and symbols and many more.

Navigating the research writing process

From docs.wixstatic.com - April 18, 2019 4:58 PM

Academic writing at any stage of an academic career can be one of the most challenging aspects of the role. There will be many times that as academics we experience the dreaded writer’s block and struggle to get words on the page. Here are some tips I have developed over the 11 years I have worked in academia which I
have found helpful for helping overcome this issue. However, it is important to note that what works for me, will not necessarily
work for you. Find your tools and add them to your toolkit after you have found them to be useful, and equally, discard the ones
which don’t work for you.

– Six factors influencing academic writing productivity and satisfaction

– Six factors influencing academic writing productivity and satisfaction | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From blogs.lse.ac.uk - October 21, 2018 9:47 AM
Writing satisfaction is strongly linked to publishing productivity and, potentially, career success. Chris Smith reports on research investigating the tools and systems academics from all career stages use to keep writing and publishing. Age, experience, and having a sense of certainty about what sort of writing system suits you and your life are all important to productivity and overall satisfaction. Early-career researchers may struggle with external pressures and barriers such as procrastination or feeling overwhelmed which cause most dissatisfaction, but these feelings do slowly ebb away. The more experience you gain, the more likely you’ll have found a writing system that works, and the more productive, satisfied – and hopefully successful – you’ll be.

Teaching Critical Thinking: Some Practical Points

Teaching Critical Thinking: Some Practical Points | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.facultyfocus.com - October 4, 2018 4:07 PM
We all endorse it and we all want our students to do it. We also claim to teach it. “It” is critical thinking, and very few of us actually teach it or even understand what it is (Paul & Elder, 2013). Research tells us that our students learn critical thinking only after we receive training in how to teach it and design our courses explicitly and intentionally to foster critical thinking skills (Abrami, Bernard, Borokhovski, Wade, Surkes, Tamim, & Zhang, 2008). We have to start by formulating assessable critical thinking learning outcomes and building our courses around them.
