Digital Identity & Literacy: Who am I in the Digital Age?

Posted on March 15, 2019 by James Brunton

As a ‘third-space’ (Whitchurch, 2008) academic working in online learning, my digital identity is inseparable from my professional identity, and also deeply ingrained in my personal life (which I keep separate through the use of separate accounts for email, social media, etc.).

Posted on March 15, 2019 by dimitriosandreou

Digital literacy is a complex phenomenon with different theories explaining different aspects. One predominant theory is the immigrants/native user theory (Prensky, 2001).

Posted on March 14, 2019 by Fazilat Siddiq

It is morning, my daughter (6 months) is sleeping and I am a little excited about writing my first blog post. And frankly, in a way I am enjoying this moment!

Zoom in the IT world

Posted on March 13, 2019 by Anne Duplouy

For the second week for the ONL course, we had to put ourselves in the shoes of someone joining an online course for the very first time.
