These college students created a new tool to bring digital media literacy training into classrooms everywhere

These college students created a new tool to bring digital media literacy training into classrooms everywhere | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
One student wanted to know why so many nurses were spreading vaccine misinformation.

Other participants drew parallels to popular crime-fighting myths found in shows like “Criminal Minds.”

But most of the college students who participated in a fact-checking workshop from MediaWise, the social-first digital media literacy initiative of the nonprofit Poynter Institute, were simply happy to report feeling more digitally savvy after the hour they spent learning to spot fact from fiction online.

MediaWise and its Campus Correspondents have been working since 2020 to slow the spread of online misinformation. In 2022, the goal is to train at 100 diverse colleges and universities, and availability is now opening up for another 25 workshops.

Libraries Lead With Digital

In the future 9 out of 10 jobs will require digital skills – but today 44% of Europeans (aged 16 to 74) do not have basic digital skills. Helping people develop their digital skills is both a key goal for public libraries across the EU and a Google priority.

Public Libraries 2020 (PL2020) and Google are excited to partner with and equip libraries with resources to support and train their local communities.

“Libraries Lead with Digital” is a toolkit created by librarians, for librarians, that will include online resources and lesson plans to help people stay safe online, grow their digital skills, and explore coding.

Don’t blame the tools

Don’t blame the tools | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
I was once at a conference where a delegate started chatting to me about iPads in schools. He’d been in charge of the rollout of more than 500 tablets to staff and students in his school and I sensed frustration and a little dejection when he described what obviously had turned into a head-aching predicament. I won’t bore you with his story, but essentially he had ordered a load of tablets and assumed that everything else would be all right.

How to Give an Emotionally Intelligent Presentation

How to Give an Emotionally Intelligent Presentation | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Emotions play an active role in almost all of our decision making. That's one reason why emotional intelligence, the ability to identify, understand, and manage those emotions, is such an invaluable skill. 

 

But how specifically does emotional intelligence help us with our daily tasks? Here are three tips to make sure your next presentation is emotionally intelligent:

1. Don't get anxious. Get excited.

All of us get nervous before a presentation, even if we've done it hundreds of times. So take that nervousness and turn it into something positive: enthusiasm.How do you do that exactly?

Spend those final few moments reviewing your favorite parts of the presentation. Remind yourself why you're doing this, and focus on the value you have to deliver to your listeners.

Now, take that enthusiasm and give a talk that you passionately believe in.

Don’t Forget About It: How Spaced Repetition and Microlearning Boost Memory

Don’t Forget About It: How Spaced Repetition and Microlearning Boost Memory | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Research on the forgetting curve has revealed some shocking statistics. Within one hour, people will have forgotten an average of 50 % of new information. Within 24 hours, they have forgotten an average of 70 % of the new information, and within a week, they will have forgotten 90 % of it. Of course, it’s not the same for everybody, but it’s still pretty disconcerting.

And this fact is the problem with corporate training – most of it goes to waste. Most of what your employees have learned will be forgotten unless you employ what is known as “spaced repetition.”

Open Science Training Handbook

Open Science Training Handbook | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
A group of fourteen authors came together in February 2018 at the TIB (German National Library of Science and Technology) in Hannover to create an open, living handbook on Open Science training. High-quality trainings are fundamental when aiming at a cultural change towards the implementation of Open Science principles. Teaching resources provide great support for Open Science instructors and trainers. The Open Science training handbook will be a key resource and a first step towards developing Open Access and Open Science curricula and andragogies. Supporting and connecting an emerging Open Science community that wishes to pass on their knowledge as multipliers, the handbook will enrich training activities and unlock the community’s full potential.

Convincing Staff to Learn a New Thing

Convincing Staff to Learn a New Thing | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Last year, I attended a presentation focused on convincing staff to use a new tool the library had purchased. The presentation offered up different ideas on how to do that.

The presenter (and, I assume, the library) didn’t seem to want to make learning the new tool mandatory, and were concerned that they might have to do that at some point.

Web 2.0 Use in Higher Education | European Journal of Open, Distance and E-Learning

Web 2.0 Use in Higher Education | European Journal of Open, Distance and E-Learning | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

An article by Michelle Rogers-Estable on research carried out in the USA

"This study analyzed current uses of emerging Web 2.0 technologies in higher education with the intent to better understand which tools teachers are using in the classroom. A total of 189 faculty in higher education from three western US universities were invited to participate, with 54 completing the survey. The survey included open-ended questions as well to offer an alternative analysis approach. In this study, the respondents claimed that the intrinsic factors of a lack of time and training were the main barriers to use, and reported positive views of Web 2.0 use in class, with 75% saying that these tools would benefit students and 83% saying they would benefit teacher-student interactions. In contrast to these results only 44% of the respondents used at least 4 of the 13 listed Web 2.0 tools with students. The reported uses did not match with the reported benefits, and this would support the results that extrinsic factors (time, training, support), instead of intrinsic factors (beliefs, motivation, confidence) are the main barriers to faculty in this study using more Web 2.0 in education. The top five Web 2.0 tools used, in order of preference, follow: (a) video sharing with tools like YouTube; (b) instant messaging; (c) blogs; (d) social communities, such as Facebook; and (e) podcasts or video casts."

Essay on incentives and training for teaching online | Inside Higher Ed

Essay on incentives and training for teaching online | Inside Higher Ed | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

"...In an attempt to control costs, colleges across the country are requiring faculty members to teach at least one online course each semester and many colleges may favor in hiring or promotion those with online teaching experience. This works when faculty members are given proper support to succeed. Online education is inherently a technology communication platform that offers another method for student instruction. It is up to the instructor to make it great. But, even after many years of online programs, many instructors still don’t have the necessary tools to move to an online format.
