Description

As digital equity and digital inclusion programs and projects have grown, so have the digital literacy teaching resources and platforms available for practitioners. It can be challenging to determine which resources and materials are best suited for the program participants’ unique talents and needs. This course looks at ways to use available resources and platforms to develop and design a digital literacy curriculum for community programs, evaluate digital literacy teaching materials, and determine outcomes, measurements, and evaluations for digital literacy programs.

Pre-Work

Several relevant articles will establish key concepts and ideas as a primer to the live event, and help you to identify questions and topics you want to explore further.

Knowledge Check

A brief quiz will reinforce what you've learned so far. Don't stress - it isn't pass/fail - it is just to help you remember and distill the concepts you read in the pre-work.

Live Event

This is a 90-minute live captioned online training with opportunities to interact with the presenter and your peers. And if you can't make the live session, you'll be able to access a captioned recording.

Homework

Faculty, themselves experts with a wealth of nonprofit experience, have created exercises that will reinforce what you've learned and give you actionable steps to improving your organization.
