The Association of Learning Technology has a new West Midlands Region Learning Technology Group (WMRLTG) who will meet regularly in and around the West Midlands to discuss all aspects of Learning Technology.
The first meeting of the WMRLTG will be held at Keele University on Monday, 13th June between 10am and 1pm. The theme of the meeting is ‘digital capability’ and we are encouraging members to offer presentations or to lead discussions at the meeting based on any of the dimensions covered in the JISC project. - https://www.jisc.ac.uk/rd/projects/building-digital-capability.

8. Discovery tool pilots
»As well as large scale tests we have a number of
institutions, FE, HE and Skills who are undertaking small
scale pilots with groups of staff.
»In addition we have provided the Digital capability user
group of eighty plus institutions with a version of the tool
for them to test with small groups.
»As a result we have had further user feedback that will
inform development and functionality.

11. Digital Leadership Course
»We continue to work with Jisc training on the roll-out of
the Digital leaders course following the successful pilot.
»The course is next scheduled to run in October, and that
run will be part of the transition from project output to
Jisc’s service offer.

25. Dashboard
»Bringing together information and aggregation of data
from usage of the discovery tool.
»We are currently designing the prototype institutional
dashboard based on our emerging understanding of what
the institutional leads want to know about their staff’s
results in the discovery tool.
»Link in with resources and services currently in use and
what is available.

Welcome to this presentation for Jisc on Building digital capability.

The Digital Capability service comprises four key components:
• the Digital Capability Framework
• Discovery Tool
• Online Offer
• Digital Leadership
A digital capability framework which describes the skills needed by staff in a wide range of academic, administrative and professional roles to thrive in a digital environment. This provides a structure to help managers and individuals understand what is needed and supports the development of tools. The generic framework is complete and in use in the sector.
The Jisc '7 elements of digital literacy' model is well used and recognised (93% recognition from survey April 2015). Most other frameworks and definitions can be fitted comfortably into one or more of the elements as originally defined. However, since it was first devised, two issues have emerged as critical in living, learning and working effectively with technology: data literacy in an age of proliferating personal data, big/deep data and data hacking, and various aspects of 'well-being' (health, safety, work-life balance, relationships, personal safety and privacy) in an increasingly hybridised (real/virtual) environment. Some of the original elements also look a bit dated as digital practice has moved on and as discourse about digital literacy has become more nuanced and widely shared. The most significant change is to combine 'information' with 'media' literacies, as feedback suggests that users have difficulty distinguishing between the two.
This version has been adapted considerably from an earlier version in response to detailed feedback from 16 stakeholders (over 40 were consulted over the initial version) and broad brush feedback from consultation events, which are ongoing. There was consensus over the need for shared language and an appetite for a shared framework, but one that was mapped carefully to other frameworks such as the SCONUL 7 pillars, CILIP, ANCIL, UK PSF, Vitae digital lens etc showing how and where these representations add detail to the broader picture.
The framework was seen as most useful to:
• bridge staff and student digital capabilities (i.e. supporting discussion about and planning for both in departments and services)
• plan for embedding digital capabilities into specific subject areas (for which the 7 elements are already well used)
• map digital expertise across different staff
Looking to create more profiles, encouraging organisations and sector bodies to create profiles.

An individual user will be provided with a link to help them understand their own and build their digital capability.
This tool will help them discover their digital capabilities and assess what they can do to build your skills and experience across the six digital capabilities, broken down into twelve sub-elements.
Having answered the questions in the tool the user is provided with a diagram which reflects their current level of digital capability, which they will be able to compare with others who are similar to them.
They will be provided with a series of feedback statements across the twelve sub-elements of digital capability. The focus of the statements will be about helping them to help themselves to build their own digital capability.

The Jisc Digital Leaders programme has been designed specifically to equip current and aspiring leaders and managers with the tools and knowledge to inform their digital practice, enabling them to:
Become a more effective digital leader or manager through personal and professional development
Explore how their organisations can engage more effectively with the technology at their disposal – at both strategic and operational levels
Lead, manage and influence digitally-driven strategy across organisations, departments, services and teams
Strategic challenges across the higher and further education sectors, such as those posed by the FELTAG, Area Based Reviews, teaching excellence framework and open research agenda, need embedded, organisation-wide digital capability in order to successfully implement technology-driven responses.
These responses might include, increased uptake of cloud and data-driven solutions, adoption of analytics for decision-making and learner-support or improving network and learning technology access for staff and students to enable blended learning to happen more effectively. Digitally-informed and empowered leaders not only embrace the innovation, collaboration and efficiency gains these bring to their organisation, but also create an environment where others can fully exploit and embed them in their practice.
In a future iteration of this tool, they will also be provided with a list of resources and activities to undertaken to help them build their capability. These will be provided through dynamic personalised playlists of guides and resources from Jisc, professional bodies, universities and colleges.
How can we ensure that the online offer has impact? http://digitalcapability.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2015/08/25/impact-impact-impact/

A “mistake” resulted in the “leak” of 780 e-mail addresses of patients who attended an HIV clinic in London.
The clinic blamed the breach on “human error”.
There are some key digital capability lessons that come out from this incident. Why was “simple” e-mail been used to send out a newsletter, when there was a risk of a leak of sensitive data?
The clinic were fined £180,000

Don’t ask the internet to name stuff, don’t expect them to take it seriously.
Location independent working
The aggregated anonymised data will be used to provide the nominated contact in a membership organisation with an institutional view of the digital capabilities of their staff with appropriate advice and guidance on how the institution can support and build capability from an institutional perspective.

If you’re wondering why staff, and where the students have gone – it’s largely still about student satisfaction and a high quality student experience at the end of the day
