The document discusses findings from the SLiDA project about how institutions are supporting learners in a digital age. Key findings include: 1) Preparing students for learning with technology; 2) Enabling personal devices and services; 3) Reconfiguring spaces for social learning; 4) Listening to student voices; 5) Strategic emphasis on blended learning course design. Institutions are meeting the challenge by auditing themselves, factoring in consultation, contextualizing digital literacies, involving stakeholders, building on student skills, and supporting progressive development through respectful relationships. Feedback indicates the audit process has increased awareness and identified gaps institutions are addressing.
![Digital Literacy
Auditing your institution
The audit has clearly woken up a number of people about the need
to address the issues.
The audit really helped us see where we need to do more work.
[Reviewing] both our strategic documentation and our current
practice identified gaps that were not obvious from inside the
organisation.
I think we’ve really benefited from doing this, and it’s helped us
consolidate what’s happening across the University
Already the outputs of our internal audit are making changes to what
we do and how we do it, so thank you for involving us in the project
and giving us an impetuous for change.
An immediate outcome from this audit is a request (from two
faculties) to bring the tool to Faculty Learning and Teaching
Committee for wider discussions.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/dlslides4-110926153913-phpapp02/85/Dl-slides-4-10-320.jpg)
