The document discusses reframing digital literacy in terms of employability skills from the perspective of employers and students. It outlines SCONUL's 7 pillars of digital literacy and how digital and information literacy (DIL) supports skills like communication, problem-solving, and teamwork that are relevant to different professions. The workshop portion involves matching DIL skills to job descriptions and writing a sample job application explaining how learned skills make the student suitable for the position.
Here's one you made earlier - Coveney, Mears, Kassem, Kontou
1. Here’s one you made earlier
Reframing digital literacies in the language of employers
Presenters: Cheryl Coveney Hossam Kassem
2. 2
Time to discuss and reflect
• Time to consider the language of digital and information
literacy and identify overlaps with employability
• An opportunity to reflect on the language your institutions
use in digital literacy development, and reframe it with an
increased focus on employability from the employer’s and
the student’s perspective.
Learning outcomes
5. Employability and DIL
• Delivering guidance for qualification and module
teams on how DIL supports generic employability
skills, e.g. IT, communication, problem-solving,
team-working
• Showing how DIL is relevant to different
professions
• Working with Careers and Employability
colleagues.
7. And now for the workshop
..talking the same language?
8. Mind your language!
How do the language and concepts outlined on the
cards, or in your own framework match up with the
language use in the job description?
Are we delivering the right skills?
Match the skills on the cards to the job description
in front of you
Feel free to write on the job descriptions or the
cards
Or write your own cards
9. Dear Human Resources…
Put yourselves in the position of your student
persona
Write part of an application for the job you have in
front of you explaining how the skills you have
learned make you a suitable candidate for the post
Use the information you have in the persona brief
as well as the cards you have matched in the first
part of the exercise

Digital and Information Literacy seen very much in the context of Employability .
Briefly describe how we work now in terms of working with module teams
Briefly talk about our maping of DIL and our cross-mapping exercise
.
Digital and Information Literacy (DIL) Skills are an important part of a student’s skills set, and an explicit requirement of a number of vocational and professional standards, e.g. Social Work
DIL shares many skills similarities with those in the new Employability framework and we are working with Enhanced Employability and Career Progression colleagues as they prepare to map employability skills in selected qualifications
The grid on the slide shows where Employability skills match both DIL skills development and the JISC Digital Capabilities Learner Profile. You can see how much overlap there is. It,s a piece of work we’re particularly interested in and we have papers at 2 national conferences and the Employability conference at the OU in the coming months,
