5. Digital capabilities discovery tool
Title of presentation (Insert > Header & Footer > Notes and Handouts > Header > Apply to all)
The discovery tool supports individual staff working in universities, colleges and training providers to reflect on their digital capabilities
It presents a series of reflective questions that relate to the different elements of capability we have defined
Questions are quiz-like and non-judgemental
By answering the questions, staff are made aware of digital skills they already have and new ones they might try
Results show a visual summary of where you are, next steps and further resources
Staff evaluation feedback form link here

6. What is the Digital discovery tool?
It is:
A self-administered quiz about professional digital practices (in education)
Designed to give useful feedback including 'next steps' and links to resources
Reflective, informative and developmental
A pilot: still in development
It is not:
An objective measure of digital performance
Designed to provide detailed data about what staff can/cannot do (see tracker)
A complete learning resource or course of study
Validated and proven in practice (this is a pilot)

7. Where are we now?
101 organisations participating in open digital discovery tool pilot (Dec 17 – May 18)
New platform from Potential.ly
New question sets: ‘for all’ ‘for teaching’ (HE / FE&Skills) ‘for learning’, more to come…
Developing a prototype for the Building digital capability website March 18
Developing 4 institutional case study videos for digital capability for March 18
Senior leaders paper on strategic importance of digital/digital capability for March 18
How are HR departments supporting the development of staff digital capabilities?

#digitalcapability

9. Decide what will work in your setting…
… then plan, prepare, engage, communicate
bit.ly/digidiscoveryguide
Senior leaders initiate messages
Stakeholder champions in different teams/depts (+ students)
Promotional campaign with clear, visual messages
Timing: coincide with other initiatives, avoid peak workload
Focus on benefits to end-users: awareness, reflection, confidence, tailored resources, self-directed
Other incentives: digital badges, support for accreditation, chocolate!

10. Put in place support for end-users
Such as:
opportunity to share and discuss results
links to local resources/development opportunities (signposting must be in place)
completion in live, supported, f2f settings
join a staff network or community of practice
tailored training mapped to the content of the discovery tool
Median = 2-3 different forms of support

Title of presentation (Insert > Header & Footer > Notes and Handouts > Header > Apply to all)
Eight role profiles
HE teacher profile mapped to UKPSF
FE teacher
Digital leader
Library and information professional mapped to CILIP PKSB
Researcher mapped to RDF in collaboration with Vitae
Learning technology mapping in collaboration with ALT
Learner
Coming soon – Administrative staff
Underneath the top 6 levels are 15 sub-elements and each has a full description.
Library and information prof - It was developed with highly valued input from the Information literacy special interest group of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP), who have helped to map this to the Professional Knowledge and Skills base (PKSB)
These provide a snapshot of the skills required for different roles. These aren’t to suggest that all staff have to have all capabilities, but can be used as a starter for conversations around the sorts of skills that may be required across a team perhaps, and to identify where there might be skill gaps.
We have 7 role profiles in total, HE teacher, FE teacher, Digital leader, library and information professional, researcher, learning technologist and learner. Many have been mapped to their respective professional framework in collaboration with the professional bodies – for example the learning technology mapping was developed alongside ALT, and the HE teacher mapped to the UKPSF.
The HE teacher profile talks for example about
the digital skills required to find, evaluate, manage, curate organise and share content for learning, teaching and assessment;
Using digital communications to support learning for example through webinars or online tutorials, and support learners to present themselves in appropriate ways in different settings
Use digital networks to support CPD
Managing a range of digital profiles as an educator and manage digital reputation across platforms.
