Brief description of the assessment
Invite students to self-assess and discover their own strengths and areas of improvement in digital literacies using this Digital Confidence Profile.
You can integrate this assessment with a larger “Choose your digital literacies pathway” assignment similar to the one described here (links, slides, video and overall grading breakdown included). Students can follow through on the aspects of digital literacies they need to improve and choose how they would like to learn them. Students can then present their learning to their colleagues in class and/or write a reflection synthesizing what they learned throughout this process.
