Digital literacy

Digital literacy is the third graduate learning outcome at Deakin. It is defined as using technologies to find, use and disseminate information. Scholarly Services can help you weave digital literacy development into your curriculum and assessment practices. Our librarians will work with you to identify opportunities to support your students in this graduate learning outcome. We can:

• help with the creation of digital learning experiences
• provide seminars and in-class training
• assist with learning, assessment and curriculum design.

Open educational practice

Guided by the library’s dedicated open education team, library staff can support you to advance open education practices in your teaching. Our team can work with you to advance this pedagogical approach by:

• consulting with you to explore what open might mean to your teaching practice
• helping you finding an open educational resource to replace your current textbook
• guiding you in the creation of a new or adapted open education resource.
