Learning goals
• Understand need for continuous improvement
  of digital literacies
• Recognise importance of self assessment
• Understand importance of Digital Literacies
  for Employability
• Understand the Pirate Model of learning
  (AAAAR!)
Need for continuous improvement of
           digital literacies
• Rapid rate of innovation

  environments

• Knock on effect to your learning in general…
Importance of self assessment
•   Provision of courses is sub-optimal
•   You need to understand your own skills
•   You need to be in charge of your learning
•   Understanding your “knowledge gaps” is
    critical
Importance of Digital Literacies for
              Employability
• e-Skills UK research reported in their ‘Technology
  Insights 2011’ demonstrates the demand for digital
  literacies for employability:
• Across the UK economy, 22 million people, 77% of the
  workforce, use IT in their jobs, and this will continue to
  rise. 92% of job advertisements require applicants to
  have basic IT skills and 1 in 10 UK businesses report
  gaps in IT user skills.
• 1.5 million people in the UK are currently employed in
  the IT sector and 500,000 new staff will be required in
  this sector over the next 5 years.
