Basic digital literacy training Principles and experiences Leikny Øgrim and Monica Johannesen

Aim of the workshop in basic training in digital literacy — NOT to do basic digital literacy training — BUT to demonstrate, discuss and start to develop guidlines for basic training in digital literacy

Principles — «Hands-on-your-back» pedagogy — Iteration — Demonstration — Hands-on — Task sheet — Physical presence

Experiences — Diversity in level of digital literacy — Progress – slow and too fast — Motivation – challenging or boring? — Projection – Professor, student or computer? — Class-room management — Number of students — Number of tutors — At least one in front and one in back of the classroom

Demonstration — Text processing — Aimed at — learners that need to learn basic text processing — learners that think they master text processing — learners that need to improve their way of doing text processing — Walk through example…..

Student’s task sheet

Instructor’s guide

Flipped classroom — students learn new content [online] by watching video lectures, usually at home, and what used to be homework (assigned problems) is now done in class with teacher offering more personalized guidance and interaction with students, instead of lecturing — A method compatible and supporting for basic digital literacy training?

Example from HIOA Production tools:

Reflection/discussion — What issues was difficult to understand? — Are there still some issues that should be demonstrated/explained?

Student activity in the classroom — Organize groups of 3-5 students — Make a 5 minute PowerPoint presentation, demonstrating ONE functionality of PP — Group 1: Insert — Group 2: Design — Group 3: Transitions — Group 4: Animations — Additionally, make one slide for each of the group members, presenting who you are — Publish the presentation in the VLE
