This professional development activity/course is designed for:
Digital Literacy Sharing and Learning Group meetings are open to anyone who is interested in digital literacy and technology integration, regardless of title or role. In each meeting, we address a different topic that is relevant to your work at the moment and what’s happening in your program. Each meeting will include time for general discussion and updates, followed by breakout discussions organized by topic or program type.
The topic of this meeting is Assessing Digital Skills.
From Northstar to DART to individual portfolios, programs are assessing adult learners' digital skills in many different ways. Which approach has been the most impactful for your program? How do you modify your approach based on your learners’ literacy skills? When do you determine that a digital skills assessment is not necessary, and how do you know when it will support your programming? Join this peer-facilitated conversation to explore these questions with other digital literacy-minded adult educators, learn from one another, and take resources home with you.
Format & Requirements: Sharing and Learning Group meetings are held live via Zoom, with a companion discussion board and resource library in Canvas. We ask that you come prepared with resources and questions about the topic, but there is no required asynchronous work. We encourage you to attend as many meetings as you can, but attendance at all meetings is not required.
Access & Support: You will receive instructions for accessing the Zoom meeting and Canvas resources from Lucy one week before the session date. If you need technical assistance to access the meeting or Canvas, please contact Lucy at lucy.burriss@jsi.org.
