digital capabilities workshop toolkit

Resources to facilitate a 1-2 hour workshop on digital capabilities

This toolkit helps you run workshops to support educators learn how to incorporate the Digital Affordance Developmental Learning Model into their teaching.

The toolkit provides a guide, ideas and resources for running a 1-2 hour workshop covering the following topics:

1. An Introduction to the Learning Model
2. Digital Descriptors for Your Subject
3. Using the Learning Model in Your Teaching

How to use this toolkit

The topics in the workshops build on each other but can also be adapted to stand on their own. For example, you could run a workshop on just using digital descriptors or run one workshop on an introduction to the model to familiarise and another that focuses on hands on application.

For each topic, we suggest a content structure and provide ideas for discussion and activities plus further resources for participants. We have also included sample slides for each topic, that you are free to use as is or to incorporate into your own template.

The suggestions in this toolkit are by no means prescriptive! You can see the toolkit as a menu that you can choose parts from (or add your own) to put together your own workshop.

This toolkit is very much a prototype. It is just a starting point and we encourage you to adapt, change and build upon the resources for your own context and needs.

And if you create your own examples and tools, please let us know – we’d love to share them on this website!
