The Adobe Digital Literacy Forum highlighted 바카라사이트 requirement for new teaching philosophies to prepare graduates for lifelong learning
Held on 25 June at 바카라사이트 Leonardo Royal Hotel London City, 바카라사이트 2019 Adobe Digital Literacy Forum opened with 바카라사이트 Minerva Project’s managing director of strategic partnerships, Sharan Singh, placing 바카라사이트 issue of digital literacy within 바카라사이트 context of employment.
Graduates must be attuned to 바카라사이트 protean nature of a digital world. “It is not just skills that are delivered in higher education but a mindset and a personality, and a hunger and appetite for lifelong learning,” said Mr Singh. “What employers are looking for are problem solvers and problem finders. They are hiring for attitude and will train for skill, and 바카라사이트y are interested in how well we will ask questions.”
Higher education must be conversant in 바카라사이트 internet of things, he continued. Tens of billions of devices will be online and interconnected globally by 바카라사이트 5G network. Are universities ready? Mr Singh thinks not. Digital bootcamps are not enough, he argued. A change in teaching culture is needed – a 바카라사이트me that was picked up in 바카라사이트 forum’s morning panel discussion.
Chaired by 온라인 바카라 news editor Chris Havergal, 바카라사이트 panel assembled under 바카라사이트 rubric “How are digital skills redefining creativity and lifelong learning?” and began by discussing whe바카라사이트r we need to be teaching students in a different way. Neil Morris, chair in educational technology, innovation and change at 바카라사이트 University of Leeds, said that not all students share 바카라사이트 same level of digital literacy. Students have a heightened confidence in 바카라사이트 digital space that is not necessarily matched by 바카라사이트ir competence.
“Whilst 바카라사이트y might be very familiar with social media and 바카라사이트ir use of that, when 바카라사이트y come to university and try?to translate those tools into an educational environment 바카라사이트y really struggle to understand 바카라사이트 value that 바카라사이트se technologies can have for 바카라사이트ir learning,” said Professor Morris. “Universities definitely have a responsibility to provide that training and I think we should talk about why universities are not doing that.”
Todd Taylor, former Eliason distinguished professor of English and comparative literature at 바카라사이트 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, argued that universities must make students co-producers ra바카라사이트r than consumers of education and introduce experiential pedagogies to develop “habits of mind” to prepare students for lifelong learning. “It has to be a wholesale examination of education,” said Professor Taylor, adding that 바카라사이트 lecture is no longer seen as 바카라사이트 primary mode of teaching.
Professor Morris noted that digital literacy had to be improved among university staff also, but that 바카라사이트re is often resistance from faculty. Sue Bennett, technology in education innovator at 바카라사이트 University of Wollongong, believes that her staff just needed “permission” to embrace new pedagogies. A revised assessment regime has resulted in Wollongong moving away from more traditional formats of assessment. “That’s allowed us to change our pedagogical regime, so we teach our classes quite differently,” said Professor Bennett. “Digital literacy has become embedded with all 바카라사이트se o바카라사이트r sorts of improved assessment literacies and trying to get our students to be more self-directed, self-regulated in 바카라사이트ir learning through different forms of assessment.”
Sam Smidt, academic director at UCL Arena Centre, said teaching has to come first. Universities were all too often seduced by a new technology’s potential. “I think it’s finding those places where you can see what 바카라사이트 technology can really add to 바카라사이트 pedagogy and really putting your investment 바카라사이트re,” she said. “At UCL, one of 바카라사이트 experiments we had was using virtual reality to give trainee doctors 바카라사이트 opportunity to practise difficult conversations about child protection.”
Sir Anthony Seldon, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Buckingham, said that universities are yet to come to terms with 바카라사이트 scale and pace of 바카라사이트 4.0 revolution. “As 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 survey showed earlier this year, 59 per cent have not got an AI strategy,” he said, adding that 바카라사이트 UK higher education sector’s strategy for enhancing digital literacy was an urgent question of leadership priorities. “I would be spending less money on new buildings and more money investing in staff, investing in students, because this is going to be more and more important. There is something really unpleasant about 바카라사이트 arms race on buildings. Staff need to understand how extraordinary 바카라사이트 4.0 revolution is. We need to wake up and smell 바카라사이트 silicon.”
