  1. Digital literacies as a postgraduate attribute? Lesley Gourlay, Martin Oliver Institute of Education

  2. About the project • Baseline work, year 1 • Survey analysis • Focus groups (PGCE, taught Masters, distance Masters, PhD students) • Longitudinal, multimodal journaling (12 students, 9-12 months, 3-4 interviews; images, video and text) • Intervention work, year 2 • Synchronous tutorials, Academic Writing Centre • Interactive guides, Library • Staff digital literacies, Learning Technologies Unit

  3. Student experiences • Combat • Curation • Coping

  4. “The bathroom is a good place to read”

  5. Digital literacies are not just free-floating capabilities: technology, people, politics

  6. What has been the greatest learning from the project for your institution? • Students are resilient, and construct a technological environment for their studies in a creative, emergent way • A technological infrastructure that assumes ‘one size fits all’ will fit everyone badly

  7. What are you most pleased to have achieved? • Theoretically, a sociomaterial account of students’ digital literacy • Institutionally, influencing the establishment of an IT Users’ Group • Pedagogically, the development of new forms of support for students’ academic writing

  8. What next for your institution to develop digital literacies further? • Exploration of staff digital literacies; feeding use cases to committees to inform policy and procurement • Rolling out interventions (interactive library guides, synchronous conferencing support for students, workshops for academics on aspects of digital scholarship)
