Josie's talk will focus on the approach and results of the DigiLit Leicester project, a partnership between the Council, De Montfort University, and 23 secondary schools.  Over the last two years, the project has developed a shared definition of what digital literacy looks like situated in professional practice, identified strengths and gaps across the city, and been instrumental in  developing confidence across Leicester’s secondary and specialist education schools workforce. The project is a partnership between the Council, De Montfort University, and 23 secondary schools.  In September 2013, the project achieved recognition as one of five global winners of the Reclaim Open Learning innovation 2013 competition, organised by the MacArthur Foundation, The Digital Media and Learning Hub, and MIT Media Lab.  

She will provide an overview of the development of the DigiLit Leicester project, and outline the ways in which the project has engaged and worked with school staff across the city. The key strengths of the project will be outlined:  an at-scale, personalised and situated approach to digital literacy; a focus on co-production as a method for individual and organisational development and change;  and a commitment to Open Education approaches to support sustainable practice. Findings from the 2014 DigiLit Leicester survey (completed by 701 city staff members) will be discussed.  

The talk will be of interest to anyone working to embed the use of technology to support learning, teaching and community development within organisations, and related issues of cultural change.
