Welcome to Instructional Practices for Digital Literacy, a semester-long seminar offered by the Center for Teaching and Learning at Columbia University! Check out our Digital Literacy Competency Calculator tool, as well as our white paper and Instructional Design Process documents.

This seminar offers anyone at Columbia (faculty, staff, or graduate student) who teaches digital skills at any level the opportunity to ground their work in a structured approach for representing skill development.  During the seminar’s workshops, participants delve into the basics of digital literacy, data management, and open practices in research and scholarship. Through the seminar’s reflective communities of practice, they gain a broader understanding of digital literacy as an intrinsic element of higher education. Upon completion of the seminar, participants will be able to connect their implementation of digital literacy instruction to a standardized structure for representing skills and competencies.

Facilitators for this seminar are:

Lucy Appert, Columbia CTL

Susan McGregor, Columbia School of Journalism

Jen Brown, Columbia University Libraries
