Digital should be
second nature,
not a second language.
Today, students communicate in a language richer than any used before in the classroom. Beyond words, they use sounds, videos, and images. It’s called digital literacy, and it empowers students to create engaging communication, develop a personal brand, and differentiate themselves in the search of a successful career. For students, it’s an expectation. Among universities, it’s a necessity.
Prepare your students for a digital future
In choosing a university, students make their decision based on the academic opportunities, as well as employment potential upon graduation. Universities who deliver on post-graduation career placements gain lifelong patrons.
Here’s how digital literacy can change everything for your students:
Engage:
Students can explore new ways to collaborate, create and communicate ideas, projects, or research.
Differentiate:
Students can share their stories and ideas in digitally persuasive ways, giving them an advantage in the job market.
Empower:
Students are empowered to express themselves in digitally compelling ways and build a personal brand through an e-portfolio or website.
