Digital Citizenship [18FA-DIGCIZ-2]

Description

We've come a long way from card catalogs and dog-eared essays. In this course, you'll explore the many ways technology is reshaping the literacy tools our students use on a day-to-day basis, and critically examine how to use these tools more effectively while teaching digital literacy to our students.

We'll focus on developing a respectful learning community, locating, evaluating, and using Open Educational Resources and digital content, and developing a digital presence that moves beyond a single course or LMS, allowing your students (and you!) to develop a digital presence. 

Outcomes

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• craft interaction guidelines that support a learning community;
• locate, evaluate, and adopt digital content available on their campus;
