WeÃ¢â¬â¢ll investigate how tackling resource constraints with organisational change can also enable efficient, centralised provision of support materials that utilise networks to overcome the risk of fragmented support for digital literacy. WeÃ¢â¬â¢ll also look at how changing delivery modes for support can accommodate changing student lifestyles whilst tackling a weakness of centralised support for digital literacy: that it can become detached from the studentÃ¢â¬â¢s subject-focused academic practice. Finally weÃ¢â¬â¢ll look at how involving students in developing support can help us to face changes to student expectations and engagement whilst ensuring that materials are authentic and speak to learners in their own voice.
