This call for open content closes on December 8, 2022.
In partnership with the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training (AEST) and the
Digital Learning Advisory Committee—a group of people with deep and broad expertise and
experience across the sector—BCcampus is pleased to be leading the development of a
collection of open materials to support digital literacy in B.C. post-secondary
institutions.
This collection will include high-quality, openly licensed courses and resources to
support the development of digital literacy knowledge, skills, and abilities.
We are currently seeking content submissions for the collection that fulfill the
requirements of the eight areas of digital literacy thematic competencies identified in
AEST’s Digital Learning
Strategy<https://etug.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/AEST-Digital-Learning-Strategy-Consultation-Draft-June-2022.pdf#page%3D20>:
ethical and legal consideration, technology supports, information literacy, digital
scholarship, communication and collaboration, creation and curation, digital well-being,
and community-based learning.
Do you have digital literacy content that will help people accomplish any of the
following?
* Understand the ethics and legal implications of gathering and sharing digital
information.
* Learn about the risks and benefits of having an online presence.
* Discover and choose educational software, digital tools, and apps.
* Interpret and validate the information.
* Use technology to collect, analyze, and share research.
* Create multimedia that can reach different audiences and share stories.
* Create healthy boundaries with technology and use digital tools to maintain
well-being.
* Communicate and collaborate meaningfully with digital communities.
*
If you answer yes to any of these questions, we would love to hear from you!
Content may be in the form of textbooks, courses or course materials, websites, videos,
infographics, podcasts, book chapters, journal articles, tools, or tutorials.
Submissions must be openly licensed or be content an institution is willing to openly
license and make shareable in the collection. Submissions will be reviewed by a group of
evaluators from our sector prior to inclusion in the collection.
