FLO Friday: A DIY Toolkit for Digital Literacy

Join us for this exciting one-hour virtual Facilitating Learning Online (FLO) session, offered in partnership with Vancouver Island University (VIU).

Jessica Gemella and Anwen Burk are curriculum, teaching, and learning specialists with the Centre for Innovation in Education and Learning (CIEL) at Vancouver Island University (VIU). Responding to faculty requests on how best to use emerging technologies in their classroom, Jessica built a digital literacy toolkit. Anwen was subsequently invited to collaborate on expanding it.  

In this one-hour free virtual FLO session, we will discuss how this digital literacy toolkit helps learning communities to:  

• Consider the ethical and legal implications of collecting and disseminating digital information  
• Assess the risks and benefits of having an online presence 
• Establish healthy limits with technology to maintain well-being 
• Engage in meaningful communication and collaboration with digital communities 
• Explore how digital tools such as artificial intelligence (AI) can extend teaching and learning opportunities  

Facilitators: Jessica Gemella and Anwen Burk

The overarching goal is to make this digital literacy toolkit adaptable for widespread adoption. As such, it will be available to reuse and adapt.  

In this session, you will participate in a co-creation activity and be asked to reflect on the process and the outcomes. Participants will be invited to start thinking about how they could use the toolkit at their institution and how the toolkit could be adapted for their use.

This session will be recorded, archived, and made available publicly on BCcampus.ca after the event. By participating in this session, you acknowledge that your participation in this session will be recorded and the recording will be made available openly.
