A recording of the webinar is now available via this link.

This webinar will discuss the models of student engagement at the University of Southampton to support the development of Digital Literacies for staff and students. Working in partnership with students in an engaging and authentic manner is an important aspect of the digital literacies work being undertaken by the Centre of Innovation in Technologies and Education (CITE).  A strategic theme for the Centre, the Digichamps have been working alongside academic teams to enhance the curriculum, working in partnership as consultants and running workshops with fellow students. The Digital Marketing DigiChamps are also working hard at events and contributing to the social media presence of the University.
