Our opening keynote Helen Beetham talked about digital capabilities, which is becoming a well trodden phrase in higher education. Helen said that digital capability is the capacity to thrive in digital environments. Now this might seem simplistic, but actually, it's a profound idea, because there are many different digital environments, and many different ways of using them. This idea connects with my own recent comments on transliteracy - the ability to communicate ideas equally effectively, no matter what tools or technologies you use.
