I am the OVC sponsor for the SEEDPoD project
I think digital literacy is crucially important to the university
The first thing we did with the SEEDPoD project was the baseline study and that really helped
us get together the evidence that we needed to put together to embed digital literacy
within our new digital strategy
We've highlighted the importance of digital literacy through our new digital strategy
and that’s going to be impacting on areas right through from curriculum design, through
to staff development and our new Performance Development Review and Framework we’re introducing
Well I think this project has bought real drive and momentum to the launch of the digital
strategy and it's coincided brilliantly with the timing of the launch of the Performance
Development Framework
Which ultimately is a tool to equip our leaders for supporting and developing our staff in
the areas that really matter, so it's just great timing all round really
The SEEDPoD project is using an evidence based approach to really identify what works most
effectively
to spread best practice across the institution because what it’s enabled
is to identify how previously scattered support for digital literacies was
it’s been absolutely a critical input into the design of the new structure for the area
that I'm looking after and in the development of the digital strategy to build something
in there that pulls all those threads together, pulls all that capacity together
if we are going to be at the forefront, then Digital Literacy is one of things that really
going to take us there
I think JISC projects are crucially important to the university we’ve got a really strong
track record of engaging through JISC
a very valuable project, it’s been great.
