Heres the first blog in a new series from some of our Education Innovation Fund projects – We’ll be following the exciting work happening on some of the learning technology projects. This week, we’ll hear from Matt Smith on Digital Capabilities:
As the eLearning Project Manager for the Wales Centre for Professional Pharmacy Education (WCPPE), I’m passionate about ensuring our staff and students are equipped with the digital skills they need to succeed. So I’m excited about the funding I’ve received from Cardiff’s Education Innovation Fund which will enable me to investigate how we can support the development of digital capabilities at Cardiff.
Before we go any further, let me take a moment to explain what I mean by ‘digital capabilities.’ JISC sees digital capabilities as an extension of digital literacies, which they define as “those…which fit an individual for living, learning and working in a digital society.” (JISC, 2014)
