The concept of a digital curriculum has been discussed widely both nationally and internationally in recent years. In New Zealand, the 2017 Digital Curriculum (Hangarau Matihiko) outlined a vision for two technology areas that provide both an entitlement curriculum (to which every student should be entitled) and a specialist curriculum (for elective study) in computational thinking and digital outcomes. In this paper, we explore the broad set of definitions of digital fluency and ask to what extent this concept is embedded in the digital curriculum. We also raise some questions around the nature of an entitlement curriculum in this area, and to what extent the concept of digital fluency is or is not embodied in that part of the published curriculum that is intended for all students, in contrast to the specialist curriculum that only some senior students will choose to follow. We suggest some important characteristics that should be present in an entitlement curriculum for digital fluency, and discuss some aspects of these that we are currently integrating into our own courses that address the new curriculum, providing some suggestions for how others might implement the digital curriculum in their own contexts 2018-12-11T23:47:51Z https://hdl.handle.net/10652/4414 Access to social work education : correlations between applicant performance on selection tasks, demographics and success as a student 2018-07-06 Hughes, Catherine; McNabb, David; Gremillion, Helen; Bridgeman, Michael This study supports existing literature: - documenting the ineffectiveness of selection criteria for social work programmes - addresses a gap in scholarship by examining the value of specific selection tools and measures. - Factors that do correlate with student success suggest that being well-resourced as a student is paramount. - Supporting students to succeed during the course of their study may be of higher value than attempting to select “suitable” students in the first place. 2018-12-11T02:12:33Z https://hdl.handle.net/10652/4410 Simple e-learning apps 2017-02 Look, Morgan; Wilson, Hugh This workshop will look at some online apps that can be used as part of a blended learning pedagogy. The apps that will be presented are free, easy to learn (i.e. less than 5 minutes), available online using a smart phone and applicable to teaching engineering. The apps that are presented will cover activities such as augmented reality (Aurasma) , virtual reality (Google Cardboard), 3D photos of objects (Google Streetview), video recording (Snagit and Screencastomatic) and online quiz games (Kahoot and Socrative). Attendees are encouraged to bring smart phones or tablet computers to try the apps and to share simple apps that they have found useful.
