Editor's Notes
- #10: If digital capabilities are the skills that are individuals need to live, learn and work in a digital society, then organisational approaches are concerned with the extent to which the organisational culture, policies and infrastructure enable and support these digital practices. Our online guide which provides some useful models and step by step approaches, with insights and experiences from a range of examples across HE and FE sectors.
- #12: Underneath the top 6 levels are 15 sub-elements and each has a full description. 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 8 profiles on 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. Our latest profile for admin staff we’ll be talking about shortly. The Administrative staff profile talks for example about Design and implement digital solutions to administrative tasks; Generate, collect and manage digital information relevant to the organisation and role Produce digital materials according to the needs of the role Use a wide range of tool and media to communicate with others in and boyone the institution Develop and project a positive digital identity
