Building digital capability: Being an effective digital leader

This is a version of the Jisc ‘Six Elements of Digital Capabilities’ model, specifically to support Jisc’s members in the area of Digital Leadership. It is one example of the base model being used in a particular context and is not meant to be definitive.

Building digital capability: Example learner profile

This is a version of the Jisc ‘Six Elements of Digital Capabilities’ model, specifically for learners. It is an update on the earlier ‘7 elements of digital literacy’ model (2009) and has many continuities with this framework. This version was produced in response to feedback that the base model alone does not provide enough detail to support embedding into practice. However, it is an example of how the base model could be used to define the digital capabilities of learners and is meant to be adapted to suit specific settings.

Building digital capability: Leading and managing an effective digital organisation (team, service, department)

This is a version of the Jisc ‘Six Elements of Digital Capabilities’ model, specifically to support Jisc’s members in the area of Digital Leadership. It is one example of the base model being used in a particular context and is not meant to be definitive.

Building digital capability: Example researcher profile

This is a version of the Jisc ‘Six Elements of Digital Capabilities’ model, specifically for research students and research sta . It is an update on the earlier ‘7 elements of digital literacy’ model (2009) and has many continuities with this framework. It is one example of how the base model is being used.

Building digital capability: the six elements defined

A digital capability framework which describes the skills needed by staff in a wide range of academic, administrative and professional roles to thrive in a digital environment. This will provide a structure to help managers and individuals understand what is needed and supports the development of tools. We have produced an initial model of the framework which describes digital capability as six overlapping elements.

Building digital capability: Example teacher profile

This is a version of the Jisc ‘Six Elements of Digital Capabilities’ model, specifically for teaching sta or for academic sta in their teaching role. It is an update on the earlier ‘7 elements of digital literacy’ model (2009) and has many continuities with this framework. This version was produced in response to feedback that the base model alone does not provide enough detail to support embedding into practice. However, it is an example of how the base model could be used to define the digital capabilities of teaching sta and is meant to be adapted to suit specific settings.

Framing digital capabilities for UK HE and FE staff: Resources and references

This list does not include the actual frameworks, specifications, standards etc reviewed for the Jisc digital capabilities programme. These are secondary resources - articles, reports, research outcomes and professional reviews - which are sometimes linked to specific frameworks. They were used to help plan the frameworks review, construct the new Jisc digital capabilities framework and to write the accompanying reports. Further down you will find a list of web sites, blog posts and professional resources which provide useful additional information and materials, not necessarily evidence-based and not always drawn on directly for this project.

Digital ‘lens’ on the UK PSF: supporting the digital capabilities of teaching staff in UK HE

This resource can also be used by professional staff who are seeking accreditation via the UK PSF for relevant aspects of their role, e.g. staff who support the use of technologies for learning and/or support the development of digital literacies.
