Speakers: Ben Gill, IT trainer and support adviser, Lancaster University Ryan Kavanagh, digital skills graduate intern, Lancaster University We’ll start off with an interactive debate about the subjects that should be included in a digital skills certificate for students. Following this, we’ll take a look at how we’ve implemented our chosen curriculum at Lancaster, including how we’ve used Xerte and Moodle to develop content, assessments and digital badges.

Notes de l'éditeur
- My name is Christine Percival and I am the Digital Fluency Manager in Information Systems Services (ISS), at Lancaster University. Today I’m going to give you an overview of how we are preparing our staff to be digitally ready, to help Lancaster University achieve it’s goals. When Helen Beetham created a Jisc case study on us earlier this year, we felt we hadn’t done enough work yet, as a lot of our projects are still work in progress. However, looking back over the past two years we have done quite a bit, and I’m hoping you’ll get a sense of our journey so far.
- We’ve built the online Digital Skills Certificate around the Digital Fluency framework aiming it initially to students, to give them skills for study at Lancaster and skills for employability. We’re hoping to do something similar for staff next year. If they complete at least one online course from each element of the framework, they will be issued with a Lancaster Digital Certificate to prove Digital Skills to employers – this is done via electronic badges and on the HEAR transcript The Courses & assessment are entirely online to enable widest accessibility (in-person support available at Lancaster campus) Each online course is Integrated with Lancaster Award gaining 5 points on successful completion The Digital Skills Certificate has taken a while to get off the ground, but feedback so far has been extremely positive, and we’ve worked closely with colleagues to get the system set up to automatically issue the badges and skills certificate. Initially we will manually add studetns to our Student Information System to record the Digtial Skills certificate and enable it to go on theHEAR transcript, which we plan on automating the process next year. So let’s take a look at it:
- We developed the Lancaster University Digital Fluency Framework which was based on Jisc’s six elements of digital capability. We created a one page overview that people could use to identify the digital abilities they needed to live, work, learn and succeed in an increasingly digital world. We then tried to map these skills to particular roles within the University, with a view to using it as part of a digital capability assessment, but to be honest, didn’t get very far with it and Jisc were working on some at the time, so we decided to wait for them.
- We’ve got quite a few ideas on the list, and we are hoping to do a survey to staff (possibly students) to identify what else might be useful on the list and to give us some prioritisation. They take time to make, especially when fitting it in around other teaching commitments. At the moment we are considering offering some student digital projects to help create some of these courses with us.

- We are in the process of making courses, with an aim to do a launch this October. We have a few course available online now gathering feedback (those on top row of this slide); those on the second row, are due to complete soon. We’re hoping to have a few in each element of the framework by October. We’ve worked with subject matter experts where appropriate to ensure good content. For example, we’ve worked with a Lecturer in the Management school on SPSS. He’s now using the course as an introduction to SPSS for his students to do before the lecture and as a revision aid, so he can focus on the mathematical analysis in the lecture. Over 800 people have completed the courses so far, many giving feedback, which is pretty impressive since we’ve not really advertised them! We will be able to issue the Digital Skills Certificate retrospectively to these people if they have met the criteria.
- A group of staff from the Library piloted the Jisc Digital Capabilities tool in late 2015/early 2016. The project involved a series of group workshops where Library staff looked holistically at their digital day – focussing on the digital skills they have, what technologies they use and why Outcomes from the activity’s discussions were mapped against the Digital Fluency framework. Staff found it a useful exercise, however, at the time, there wasn’t enough customisation for their roles in the questions and outcomes, it raised questions like “does everyone in the team need to have all these skills, or can we have a balanced team skill set”, there was also not much after support available afterwards at the time, for all the skills identified. Since this pilot, Jisc have developed this further and the work we are doing on Digital Skills will support the skills development. We are hoping to use it in the future for Professional Services Staff in the first instance.
