2. National context Funded by JISC, match funding by HEIs 1 of 12 HEI-based projects in the UK Each project provides a different perspective on digital literacies 2 year project (Aug 2011 – July 2013) Funding up to £100,000 per project UK-wide funding £1.5m Sector body and association involvement  University of Exeter  University of the Arts  University of Reading  University College London  Institute of Education  Cardiff University  Plymouth University  University of Greenwich  Oxford Brookes University  Worcester College of Technology  Coleg Llandrillo

3. Institutional context Single campus, research intensive Strong student engagement Very high student satisfaction Well-defined community with many stakeholders ‘Generatim discite cultus’ (learn each field of study according to its kind) Leads change through the disciplines supported by a robust administrative and physical infrastructure Subjects have a strong physical presence (labs, engineering workshops, etc)

4. Digital environment For Staff Students Other stakeholders When Pre-entry Whilst at uni Alumni Manifests Online In physical spaces Need to develop Skills, competencies and capabilities Infrastructure and systems Provides access Info Resources Administration Learning Experiences Research Functions Communication Collaboration Administration Learning

6. Aim Establish an institutional vision for the development of digital literacies Embed digital literacies in core institutional strategic processes Engage students in the process as change agents Map how disciplinary differences and cultures shape the development of digital literacies Explore how institutional structures and processes enable and/or hinder the embedding of digital literacies Outputs Discipline-specific statements for digital literacies Good practice case studies on embedding digital literacies Change management tools/staff development resources (OERs) Guidance on effect organisational change Institutional processes A framework for evaluating the impact of digital literacies projects

10. “A digitally literate person in the Faculty of Engineering and Design should be proficient in retrieving, managing, evaluating, sharing, presenting relevant information, supported by access to the appropriate hardware and software.” “A digitally literate person in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Science is critically and ethically aware, confident in engaging in a wide array of digital practices, resources/tools and academic and professional environments, and in establishing coherent identities.”

23. The Bath Award Accreditation of digital literacies through extra-curricular activities, work experience, volunteering and additional learning (portfolio submission) Appears on degree transcripts

24. Outcomes of PriDE are informing and influencing developments in the wider sector

25. Sector developments VITAE Researcher Development framework – we helped design a digital literacies lens for it We mapped the statements against SCONUL’s 7 pillars of information literacy and provided them with feedback We brought together a discipline-specific digital literacies interest group We developed and evaluation framework for DL projects, tested at two HEIs Change management materials available as OERs Case studies are being produced – showcasing good practice Dissemination events, conferences, workshops Journal articles

26. Still to achieve Build even greater ownership Embedding digital literacies into the curriculum Only half are probably assessed? Can we influence the design/review of programmes? We are bringing together staff development providers from across the institution offering technology-related developmental opportunities. Currently exploring: Joint calendar of events Building on each others’ offerings Means of recording digital literacies development Consider other institutional processes in which digital literacies can be embedded.
