1. Student Ambassadors for Digital
Literacy (SADL)
LSE SADL is a programme which aims to develop and enhance students’
information and digital skills, encouraging peer-to-peer support and fostering
partnerships between staff and students.
It is now in its 3rd year with over 40 student ambassadors and 9 senior
ambassadors. Finishing the programme in previous years, the senior
ambassadors support us in running the workshops and by coordinating student
led projects. It includes four 90-minute workshops on:
 Finding and evaluation information
 Academic practices: reading and research
 Managing and sharing information
 Digital footprint.
Evaluating information found online
10 minute group activity where students assess spoof websites
 A very brief checklist of things to consider is shared with the students at the
start – who wrote it, why, when was it updated, what domain is it on.
 A very brief demonstration of evaluating a website is done by the trainer -
http://www.preparingforemergencies.co.uk
 Each group then reviews and critiques one of the following websites:
 Dihydrogen Monoxide: http://www.dhmo.org/
 Tree Octopus: http://zapatopi.net/treeoctopus/
 Ova Prima Foundation http://www.ovaprima.org/index.htm
 Drop bears https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_bear
 Class discussion on what was found.
Planning and managing assignments
15 minute group activity for students to discuss steps and tools used in
managing and planning tasks and activities
 Each group discusses what steps they take in dealing with an
assignment and what tools they use.
 Flipchart paper and marker pens are made available for mind-map
drawings.
 Students are encouraged to explore differences between
disciplines e.g. law vs statistics.
 Diagrams are displayed and groups share with the class what they
found.
