Defining + Navigating Digital Skills
|
|
|
The past year has spotlighted how inequitable access to technology and digital skills development compounds existent inequities. Even as we return to more face-to-face settings, the skills adult learners will need for continued success are increasingly digital. During this session, Stacey Wedlake, Research Scientist at the Technology and Social Change Group (TASCHA) at the University of Washington, will share a skills framework designed to answer the question:
What digital skills do people need to learn to participate in today’s world? Then, the EdTech Center’s Priyanka Sharma will share the recently launched Digital Navigator Hub, which includes guides and aligned learning resources organizations can use to provide on-demand tech support to learners; relevant information to secure connectivity and devices; and foundational digital skills, learning and job training.
