Thriving in a digital age?

»In 2010 we defined digital literacies as: those capabilities which fit someone for living, learning and working in a digital society

»It was a much-disputed term, but the concept struck a chord in the sector, especially from 2012-13 onwards

»The digital literacies are relevant to both students and staff

»Effective use of digital technology by university and college staff is vital in providing a compelling student experience and in realising a good return on investment in digital technology.
