Digital Capabilities

Digital Capabilities (sometimes referred to as Digital Literacies) are the skills needed to work and live in an increasingly digital society.   

At CCCU we are committed to improving our students’ digital capabilities to make sure they have the correct digital skills for the workplace they will be entering after graduation. To this end “Digital Literacy” has been identified as one of the key Graduate Attributes that are being embedded across the University curriculum.  

We also want to make sure that our staff are equally well developed, in order for them to provide an engaging, modern digital learning experience. Digitally capable staff will be able to more effectively engage with digital drivers within the University strategies.

The University has adopted the Jisc Digital Capability Framework, a structured model that defines the skills necessary for a modern digital learner and practitioner. More information on Digital Capabilities can be found on Jisc’s Building Digital Capability website.
