Digital Literacies GLO: What is Digital Literacy?

This guide is designed to help academics embed teaching and learning experiences in their curriculum.

Introduction

This guide will help you embed teaching and learning experiences that ensure our graduates have the capacity to critically harness digital literacy for professional practice and research.

Digital literacy provides students with the skills they need to navigate our ever-changing world. Introducing Digital Literacies as a Graduate Learning Outcome ensures that Charles Sturt University is creating graduates who are flexible and adaptable users and creators of information.
