Assignment - Critical Digital Publishing Task

Task - Working individually and using the designed digital publishing system (Wordpress), students digitally publish regular original posts on issues, themes and example raised in the lectures and readings throughout the first half of the semester.

WEEK 2 - THE USES OF DIGITAL LITERACIES

Summary: Before we get digital (digital... we wanna get dig-i-tal, let's get into digital!), we need to get literate. This week we consider what literacy actually means - moving beyond dictionary and 'common sense' definitions to a specialist understanding as communications scholars. We draw on some 'classic' communications ideas by Birmingham school scholar Richard Hoggart, leading up to contemporary ideas and applications of digital literacy by Australian academic John Hartley. Importantly - we consider not just what digital literacy is, but what it's used for, and what it says about the people who engage with it. Then we bust some myths about the "digital natives" and our ability to multitask effectively, and how well we actually learn (or not!) when trying to both listen to the lecture and read Facebook at the same time.

Activities -

Skills for working 'smarter not harder' when working with academic texts part #1 - grasping "reasoning" using Cottrell's method (Cottrell, 2012: 3) with Hartley's text

We will set up our main practical output for this course, establishing your Wordpress site (using specific instructions and the given URL in class). This will form the basis of both of your assignments for this course.

Exploration of assignment one requirements and weekly progress expectations.

Draft and publish your first post on your new Wordpress site. Details and examples will be provided in class, but we recommend you get in sooner rather than later to get yourself acquainted with the platform.

WEEK 3 - DIGITAL INCLUSION

Summary: This week we challenge some of our assumptions about digital literacy - importantly, assumptions about access rather than just desire or education. Again, this moves us to consider people when we consider digital literacy - the people who are able to access the technology required to be digitally literate, and the assumptions people make about them who have different experiences and expectations.

Activities

Skills for working 'smarter not harder' when working with academic texts part #2 - strategies for critical thinking. Applying Cottrell's method to Rennie et al's text.

We consider scenarios for inclusion, building on what we've learned so far and projecting to the future.

Your next blog post. Also - don't forget to start considering format as well as content - is your font/colour scheme easy to read? Try logging in from another computer/device to check.

The critical digital task demonstrates a excellent clarity and employs an appropriate genre of expression. There is outstanding use of academic tone and approach, as specified in the task instructions, and the correct use of UTS Harvard referencing. The submitted assignment includes excellent evidence of a nuanced consideration of digital literacy from an indigenous perspective. It incorporates appropriate evidence to support these claims, using readings from the course in a thoughtful way, as well as additional appropriate materials.
