Insights From the 2016 ECAR Study – Blended Librarian

Insights From the 2016 ECAR Study – Blended Librarian | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
We know that our students use technology. Lots of technology.

We know less about how they use it, what they use it for and the devices they use. We’d like to know more about how they use technology for learning.

That’s where the 2016 ECAR Study of Undergraduate Students and Information Technology can be most informative. This year’s report focuses on four areas of student technology use:

the importance of technology to students
the technology experiences of students
the technology preferences of students
the effects of technology on students

This article shows how technology is improving education! I personally have e-textbooks for my Master's program and the nice thing I enjoy about e-textbooks is that I can search and find what I am looking for without having to try to look through a 200 page book and find where I highlighted about a topic. I can highlight and write notes in adobe digital education which is what I use to read my e-textbook. You can also highlight and stick notes PDF files via the toolbar task Diigo. No longer do I have to carry around a 20lb textbook. Now I can access my notes and readings from almost anywhere.

Don't Be "That Guy" In Your Online Classes: Online Student Etiquette

Don't Be "That Guy" In Your Online Classes: Online Student Etiquette | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

An online classroom environment is very different from what you find in a traditional classroom. You communicate almost entirely in writing—and misunderstandings can happen more frequently than they do in person, because you don’t have the crutch of body language to help interpret someone’s remarks. You may feel relatively anonymous, sitting alone behind your computer screen, but you aren’t—and you shouldn’t behave that way.

Students: how to use LinkedIn at uni to help you get a job when you graduate | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Getting to grips with LinkedIn while you're still a student is a great way to build contacts.  Trying to make yourself stand out in the sea of graduates looking for jobs is tricky. Having a LinkedIn account can be a key way to build up contacts while still at uni. And getting a LinkedIn profile now can be a good way to find work experience and other opportunities alongside your studies.

Experts or Amateurs? Gauging Young Canadians’ Digital Literacy Skills: How Canadian Youth Use, Understand and Create ... | MediaSmarts | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
It’s been almost fifteen years since Mark Prensky coined the term “digital native” to describe young people who have grown up with the Internet and digital media. In fact, the children who were born the year Prensky’s book was published are now in high school. While for many, the public perception of young people taking to digital platforms like ducks to water persists – accompanied by the image of adults, particularly parents, who are seen (often by themselves) as hopelessly out of their depth – the question remains how close that image is to reality. Are Canadian youth truly digitally literate? And if they are not “digital natives” who effortlessly acquire their skills on their own or from peers, are students learning what they need from their parents or teachers?

Student guide to social media

The University of Manchester  Library, Skills@Library, University of Leeds and The University of York Library have been working together over the past few months to produce a social media guide for students. We wanted to help students understand how they could use social media to enhance their studies as well as boost their employability. We thought others on this list may find it useful and may even want to point their students to it. Any comments or feedback will be gratefully received
