The Digital Gardener Faculty Fellows program has four goals:
- Create experts. Prepare faculty members to understand digital literacy, improve digital communication skills, gain experience with digital technology, and become savvy digital consumers.
- Support students. Give faculty members the tools to empower students entering today’s workforce with greater digital agility, which leads to greater access to job opportunities.
- Promote digital literacy. Encourage faculty members to study the impact of pedagogical strategies and digital technology as they’re being used by peers across the university.
- Build a community. Connect faculty members so that they can foster their own community networks to help develop digital confidence and promote digital literacy and creativity.
