Welcome to EDUC5388: Digital Literacies in a Networked World. Throughout this semester, we’ll be exploring ways that literacy and learning are changing as people participate with digital technologies across local and global networks. This website is one of a few resources (along with our Padlet) we’ll be using in the course to help synthesize and extend our classroom conversations.

NAVIGATING THE SITE

The main navigation of this site has links to some useful pages:

The Home page of this site provides an overview of the course and how you will be expected to use the site for course purposes.

The Course Details, Calendar, and Assignments pages come directly from the syllabus. They provide information about the purpose and vision for the class, the guiding questions and readings for each week, and the expectations for course projects and assignments.

The Weekly Materials page is where we will post links and files for each week’s assignments and readings. If you are ever uncertain about what is due for a given class, this page is an excellent resource. For copyright purposes, you will need a password to access this section. Check your email for the password (or contact Amy or Emmy).

The Padlet is a space where we can share links, photos, memes, questions, and any other information related to the course. Each week, we will also have a brief homework assignment that will help us prepare for the upcoming class. You will be asked to post your response to the Padlet each week.

We’re very excited to work with you this semester. If you have questions about the course, the website, or anything related to digital literacies, please don’t hesitate to ask!
