CAUL Digital Dexterity. Being Digitally Dexterous: Play, Create, Innovate

Launch event: CAUL Digital Dexterity. Being Digitally Dexterous: Play, Create, Innovate

As the nature of work continues to change, how will we learn to thrive in new workplaces? It’s all about unleashing your curiosity to play with new technologies, build your digital confidence and solve problems with innovation and creativity.

Join our international e-learning consultant Helen Beetham and a bunch of enthusiastic Librarians for the launch of CAUL’s Digital Dexterity initiatives. We will explore a new Digital Dexterity framework through inquiry-based learning.

Get your hands on digital tools and toys as we collaboratively build a culture of experimentation. We will also give you the resources to create digitally dexterous experiences at your own libraries and be supported in the months to come by CAUL/CAVAL Digital Dexterity Community of Practice.
