8. 1 Defining and scoping the Guide
• “…describe, explain and illustrate some ways
in which the development of digital literacies
(DL) / fluency can be demonstrated in each of
the areas of activity, core knowledge and
professional values of the UKPSF”
• Main elements: Overview of UKPSF;
Annotated links to existing resources mainly
for teachers and mainly for developers;
Commissioned case studies; PAs’ work on DL

9. 2 Inviting Professional Association
(PA) partners
• Case studies invited from PAs:

schedule

10. 3 Commissioning resource guides
for teachers and developers
• Peter Hartley and Helen Beetham
• Did a fine job of locating useful resources for
each UKPSF element and commenting on their
use
• On reflection, is the distinction between
resources for developers and teachers useful?

11. 4 Commissioning case studies from
PAs
• “… a rich, detailed and valuable account of
some of the many ways in which PGCert and
CPD practice is implementing the UKPSF in the
digital university …”

12. 7 Further development
• More case studies
• More resources for teachers and developers
• Each indexed to relevant element(s) of the
UKPSF
• Extended account of PAs’ work to develop
digital literacy
• What else?
