Digital Futures & Embedding Digital Skills

Speaker
, Director of Learning Enhancement, North East Scotland College


Description
The range of knowledge and skills that a student must possess to be successful in learning, life and work within modern society extends beyond the subject specific content of their course. Students must develop a broad suite of essential 21st century skills. An effective way to ensure that all students develop such capabilities is by ensuring that the use of digital technology is embedded within exciting and engaging learning, teaching and assessment activities. Central to this approach is building the confidence and capability of staff to use a wide range of technologies in sufficiently sophisticated and powerful ways alongside modern pedagogies. This talk will provide an overview of NESCol's approach to this challenge.
