Developing institutional digital literacy through a technology-rich Postgraduate Certificate curriculum: An evolving initiative.

This paper reports on the innovative redesign of a Postgraduate Certificate programme and presents the conclusions and recommendations arising from this ongoing process. Now in its third year of delivery, the new programme incorporates mandatory use of blogs, online peer-assessed group work and the production of online video summaries. The aim of incorporating these elements is to increase teachers’ competence and confidence in the use of specific technologies appropriate to the teaching of their discipline, to inculcate a positive attitude towards experimenting with technology, and ultimately to improve the student experience across the institution.
