We now have two more recorded webinars available from the module Digital Literacies and Open Practice. The first was a bonus webinar given a few weeks ago by Sam Aston and Chris Millson from the University of Manchester. Sam and Chris teach on the module ‘Open Knowledge in Higher Education‘ which inspired me to set up this course after I was a guest lecturer on it a few years ago running a session with Chris Morrison. Their webinar has a number of activities you can take part in to help you think about what open practice means and how to make small changes in your own teaching. A recording is available here.

The second webinar is from the editors of one of the set readings for this course, Jo Parker and Katharine Reedy who wrote Digital Literacies Unpacked. They talk about the approach to learning design at the Open University and how digital literacies, (but also employability and other skills) are embedded into the curriculum. A recording and the slides are available.

I’m hosting a webinar on Friday 6th December from 11am-12pm with Katharine Reedy and Jo Parker from the Open University. They will be talking about embedding digital literacy in the curriculum. The webinar is open to all and going to be run in Adobe Connect – no password required.

If you would like to join then do drop me a line, so I have an idea of numbers as it’s open to those not taking the module as well

The Open University has a strong, and lengthy, track record, both in developing digital and information literacy products and services, and embedding the skills into the curriculum. We have been using learning design approaches in our work both within the Library service to embed the skills but also in wider work across the university working with curriculum teams. Join Katharine and Jo (editors of Digital Literacy Unpacked, from Facet publishing) to hear about the OU experience.
