DL Symposium Keynote with Dr. David Porter: Community As Digital Fluency

Title: Community as digital fluency: How to develop digital literacies for all by building a sustainable online community through collaborative and networked learning activities

Students and teachers live in a technologically abundant and highly networked world full of ubiquitous learning opportunities that are connected to personalized contexts. Part of our role as educators is to bridge and build the connections between these formal and informal digital learning spaces. Designing courses and activities that build and contribute to collaborative online communities and networks can seamlessly integrate the development of digital fluency between formal and informal learning environments.
In this presentation, Drs Porter and Roberts will begin by describing two different examples of building community as digital fluency by bridging formal and informal digital learning contexts. Then in groups, participants will have the opportunity to co-design and create their own examples based on their personal learning contexts.
This presentation is for educators looking to expand upon more traditional integration of digital literacy models by considering the potentials of participatory and community-focused learning design in digital contexts.
