A space to develop digital literacy
This site looks to develop your digital literacy across all areas, from technical proficiency to looking after yourself when using digital devices.
My name is Barry, and I have a keen interest in supporting everyone to develop their digital literacy. I have a Doctorate in Education where I looked at models of digital literacy development, and through my blog and social media pages I want to support everyone in developing their own digital literacy from what I have learnt. I am an academic, which means I research and teach digital literacy development as well as other subjects related to my career as a paramedic.
I am currently a Senior Curriculum Designer, drawing on my experience of creating new programmes and working with programme teams when I was in leadership roles to support in programme design and development. My previous role was in Technology Enhanced Learning, and I was the lead within a Faculty in a modern University. I have been a Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, Programme Lead, Placement Lead in Health Sciences, Associate Head of School for Student Success. I have led on the development of academics in their digital literacy and the use of digital in education. I sit on a number of internal and external panels and groups around digital literacy, and I want to use this website to share what I have learnt to the wider community.
