This study examines design thinking (DT) as a strategy to develop K-3 digital literacy curricula. This article chronicles first-year, preservice teachers’ (PSTs’) perceptions using DT to explore an often-misunderstood curricular framework, digital literacy. The participants employed DT as a strategy for developing digital literacy curriculum. Findings discussed in this article explored PSTs’ perceptions of DT and how the strategy helped or hindered their understanding of digital literacy as an elementary curricular framework. This study calls for further investigation regarding DT as a strategy for curriculum development early in teacher preparation.

With the increased focus on e-education and closing the digital divide through access to ICT's in South Africa, foundation and secondary school curricula are increasingly becoming the location for ICT integration. There is however no overt focus on introducing digital wellness and digital citizenship education information into the curriculum, leaving students vulnerable in terms of information seeking, use, and production even with infrastructure access being available. This treats the problem of the digital divide in South Africa as a purely access-based issue, ignoring the influence of information poverty and digital citizenship on the digital divide. Through examining the existing curriculum this article attempts to suggest a possible integration of these topics within the existing curricular structure.

Background: Due to constraints in time and resources, medical curricula may not provide adequate opportunities for pre-clerkship students to practice clinical skills. To address this, medical students at the University of Alberta developed a digital peer-to-peer learning initiative. The initiative assessed if students can learn clinical skills from their peers in co-curricular practice objective structured clinical exams (OSCEs).Methods: A total of 144 first-year medical students participated. Students wrote case scenarios that were reviewed by physicians. Students enacted the cases in practice OSCEs, acting as the patient, physician, and evaluator. Verbal and electronic evaluations were completed. A digital platform was used to automate the process. Surveys were disseminated to assess student perceptions of their experience.Results: Seventy-five percent of participants said they needed opportunities to practice patient histories and physical exams in addition to those provided in the medical school curriculum. All participants agreed that the co-curricular practice OSCEs met this need. The majority of participants also agreed that the digital platform was efficient and easy to use.Conclusion: Students found the practice OSCEs and digital platform effective for learning clinical skills. Thus, peer-to-peer learning and computer automation can be useful adjuncts to traditional medical curricula.

This article examines how the concepts of digital literacies and digital competence are conceptualized in curricula for compulsory education within the Nordic countries. In 2006, the European Union defined digital competence as one of eight key competences for lifelong learning. The terms digital literacies and digital competence have since been used interchangeably, particularly in policy documents concerning education and the digitalization of educational systems and teaching. However, whether these concepts carry similar meanings, and are understood in a similar way, across languages and cultures is not self-evident. By taking the curricula in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway as examples, this article attempts to clarify similarities and differences in how the concepts are interpreted, as well as what implications this has for the digitalization of education. The analyses reveal that different terms are used in the curricula in the different countries, which are connected to themes or interdisciplinary issues to be incorporated into school subjects. The conceptualizations of the terms share a common emphasis on societal issues and a critical approach, highlighting a particular Nordic interpretation of digital literacies and digital competence.

Aim/Purpose: The aim of this project was to explore a method to enable an updated under-standing of digital literacy to be implemented in curricula in an environment of an existing, but outdated, understanding of digital literacy. . Background: The changing healthcare environment increasingly emphasizes the importance of digital literacy skills; therefore academics in the optometry discipline at Deakin University sought to better understand where digital literacy skills were taught in their program, and whether delivery was implicit or explicit. Methodology: This case study describes a systematic review of the optometric curriculum to first identify where and what digital literacy skills are currently being addressed in the curriculum, identify the gaps, and develop a strategy to address the gaps. Contribution: The main outcome of this work is the development of a spiraling curriculum to support the development of digital literacy skills required in later units of the program and for clinical practice post-graduation. Findings: Although the definition of digital literacy may be outdated, the digital literacy capabilities being addressed in the curriculum had grown as digital technology use by staff and students had expanded. This, together with the realization that students were not as digitally capable as expected, indicated that teaching digital literacy skills needed to be made overt throughout the curriculum. Recommendations for Practitioners: The process developed through this case study provides a strong foundation for course teams, curriculum developers and educational designers to efficiently analyze digital literacy expectations in existing, accredited health-related curricula and improve the curricula by more overtly embedding digital literacy teaching into it. Impact on Society: Graduates of the amended program of study are expected to be better prepared to undertake their future careers in a digitally enhanced and disrupted environment. Future Research: The framework will be used to explore digital literacy teaching practices in other disciplines. A systematic evaluation will be undertaken to identify the benefits and short comings of using the framework. The elements that make up the new definition of digital literacy need to be better articulated to allow curriculum developers to be better informed as to how to interpret the framework in their context.

ObjectiveTo assess health informatics (HI) training in UK postgraduate medical education, across all specialties, against international standards in the context of UK digital health initiatives (eg, Health Data Research UK, National Health Service Digital Academy and Global Digital Exemplars).DesignA mixed methods study of UK postgraduate clinician training curricula (71 specialties) against international HI standards: scoping review, curricular content analysis and expert consultation.Setting and participantsA scoping literature review (PubMed until March 2017) informed development of a contemporary framework of HI competency domains for doctors. National training curricula for 71 postgraduate medical specialties were obtained from the UK General Medical Council and were analysed. Seven UK HI experts were consulted regarding findings.OutcomesThe International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) Recommendations for Biomedical and Health Informatics Education were used to develop a framework of competency domains. The number (maximum 50) of HI competency domains included in each of the 71 UK postgraduate medical specialties was investigated. After expert review, a universal HI competency framework was proposed.ResultsA framework of 50 HI competency domains was developed using 21 curricula from a scoping review, curricular content analysis and expert consultation. All 71 UK postgraduate medical curricula documents were mapped across 29 of 50 framework domains; that is, 21 domains were unrepresented. Curricula mapped between 0 (child and adolescent psychiatry and core surgical training) and 16 (chemical pathology and paediatric and perinatal pathology) of the 50 domains (median=7). Expert consultation found that HI competencies should be universal and integrated with existing competencies for UK clinicians and were under-represented in current curricula. Additional universal HI competencies were identified, including information governance and security and secondary use of data.ConclusionsPostgraduate medical education in the UK neglects HI competencies set out by international standards. Key HI competencies need to be urgently integrated into training curricula to prepare doctors for work in increasingly digitised healthcare environments.

This article provides a critical analysis of British Columbia’s early learning curricula concerning 21st-century education and the role of digital technology in the early years. The data sources were the Premier’s Technology Council: A Vision for 21st-Century Education (Premier’s Technology Council, 2010), BC’s Education Plan (British Columbia Ministry of Education, 2011), and the Kindergarten Curriculum Package (British Columbia Ministry of Education, September 2010). Rapid advances in technology call for a review of traditional curriculum standards and active movement toward a realization of 21st-century education beyond mere vision. As children navigate an increasingly digital world, one with blurred lines between content and advertising, critical thinking and critical analysis skills are essential in order for children to effectively manage the vast amounts of information available to them. Educators and policy makers, through curricula developed reflecting digital media use, can play an important role in educating young, technologically engaged students.

Annotation:

Digital and electronic learning portfolios (e-portfolios) are playing a growing role in supporting admission to tertiary study and employment by visual creatives. Despite the growing importance of digital portfolios, we know very little about how professionals or students use theirs. This thesis contributes to knowledge by describing how South African high school students curated varied e-portfolio styles while developing disciplinary personas as visual artists. The study documents the technological and material inequalities between these students at two schools in Cape Town. By contrast to many celebratory accounts of contemporary new media literacies, it provides cautionary case studies of how young people’s privileged or marginalized circumstances shape their digital portfolios as well. A four-year longitudinal action research project (2009-2013) enabled the recording and analysis of students’ development as visual artists via e-portfolios at an independent (2009-2012) and a government school (2012-2013). Each school represented one of the two types of secondary schooling recognised by the South African government. All student e-portfolios were analysed along with producers’ dissimilar contexts. Teachers often promoted highbrow cultural norms entrenched by white, English medium schooling. The predominance of such norms could disadvantage socially marginalized youths and those developing repertoires in creative industry, crafts or fan art. Furthermore, major technological inequalities caused further exclusion. Differences in connectivity and infrastructure between the two research sites and individuals’ home environments were apparent. While the project supported the development of new literacies, the intervention nonetheless inadvertently reproduced the symbolic advantages of privileged youths. Important distinctions existed between participants’ use of media technologies. Resourceintensive communications proved gatekeepers to under-resourced students and stopped them fully articulating their abilities in their e-portfolios. Non-connected students had the most limited exposure to developing a digital hexis while remediating artworks, presenting personas and benefiting from online affinity spaces. By contrast, well-connected students created comprehensive showcases curating links to their productions in varied affinity groups. Male teens from affluent homes were better positioned to negotiate their classroom identities, as well as their entrepreneurial and other personas. Cultural capital acquired in their homes, such as media production skills, needed to resonate with the broader ethos of the school in its class and cultural dimensions. By contrast, certain creative industry, fan art and craft productions seemed precluded by assimilationist assumptions. At the same time, young women grappled with the risks and benefits of online visibility. An important side effect of validating media produced outside school is that privileged teens may amplify their symbolic advantages by easily adding distinctive personas. Under-resourced students must contend with the dual challenges of media ecologies as gatekeepers and an exclusionary cultural environment. Black teens from working class homes were faced with many hidden infrastructural and cultural challenges that contributed to their individual achievements falling short of similarly motivated peers. Equitable digital portfolio education must address both infrastructural inequality and decolonisation.

This research encompasses the insertion and construction of geography education in digital culture in a private school in the Pinheiros district, west borough of Sao Paulo's municipality. School geography is presently undergoing conceptual, methodological and procedural transformations, which give rise to reflections on teaching practice and the construction of learning situations related to a globalized world. Hence, the general goal of this research is to understand the teaching and learning processes of geography education in the digital culture. By doing so, we aim to verify the potential to understand the geographical phenomena in various scales, using resources other than to encourage the students' creativity and motivation. This research uses a qualitative approach and a methodological procedure inspired in practices associated with action-research, with a pedagogical focus in active teaching-learning methodology models. Data was collected in 2017 from a 9th grade, during learning situations in virtual learning environments, questionnaires, focal groups and from notes taken by the researcher-teacher. Results show that the combination of active methodologies, (DICT) and contents promoted the cognitive and emotional developments of the learners in digital culture contexts, mainly regarding the pedagogical procedures that involve problem solving, collaboration and participation. Therefore, conclude that the pedagogical practices enabled the comprehension of the geographical phenomena in a number of instances, advanced by the DICT, which encouraged the geographical thinking and representation, in addition to favoring the learners' creativity and motivation
A presente pesquisa refere-se à inserção e construção da educação geográfica na cultura digital em uma unidade escolar privada no bairro de Pinheiros, zona oeste do município de São Paulo. A geografia escolar atualmente passa por transformações conceituais, metodológicas e procedimentais, implicando em reflexões da prática docente e da construção de situações de aprendizagem articuladas com as características do mundo globalizado. Assim, o objetivo geral da pesquisa, é compreender os processos de ensino e de aprendizagem da educação geográfica na cultura digital. Com isso, pretende-se verificar o potencial de compreensão dos fenômenos geográficos em diversas escalas, utilizando recursos diferentes da aula expositiva para incentivar a criatividade e motivação dos educandos. Esta pesquisa apresenta abordagem qualitativa e procedimento metodológico inspirado em práticas associadas à pesquisa-ação, com enfoque pedagógico em modelos de metodologias ativas de ensino e de aprendizagem. Os dados referentes ao 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental Anos Finais foram coletados em 2017, nas situações de aprendizagem em ambientes virtuais, questionários, grupos focais e a partir de anotações sistematizadas do professor/pesquisador. Os resultados indicam que a combinação entre metodologias ativas, (TDIC) e conteúdos favoreceram os desenvolvimentos cognitivo e emocional dos educandos em contextos da cultura digital, principalmente quanto a procedimentos pedagógicos que envolvem resolução de problemas, colaboração e participação. Dessa forma podemos concluir que as práticas pedagógicas realizadas, facilitaram a compreensão dos fenômenos geográficos em diversas escalas, impulsionada pelas TDIC, que incentivaram a representação e expressão do raciocínio geográfico, além de favorecer a criatividade e motivação dos educandos

This research was conducted during the 2009-2010 school term as a case study of a large school division’s technology initiative after eight years to chronicle its effect on high school business and marketing teachers’ use and integration of technology. The 18 teachers were business and marketing teachers from eight high schools, two technical centers and one alternative school who participated in the one-to-one laptop initiative from its inception and who were asked to participate in the study. A web-based survey on technology use and adoption was administered to 18 high school business and marketing teachers. The researcher conducted a total of four unannounced observations of each teacher’s instruction, specifically for technology use, by using the Instructional Technology Resource Teachers’ Technology Integration form. Additionally, the teachers were asked to participate in one of two focus group interviews to determine their level of technology use along with their perceptions regarding the technology initiative and its effect on their instruction and teaching strategies. This case study has relevance to school districts with technology initiatives or districts considering adopting one. The high school business and marketing teachers’ vantage point provided unique information about the effect a one-to-one laptop initiative has made on business and marketing teachers’ technology use over the last eight years. The effect that a comprehensive, one-to-one initiative had on business and marketing high school teachers’ technology use was twofold. First, instruction was affected. Teachers and students were found to manage data electronically, the amount of and methods for teachers’ communication changed, and exemplars surfaced. Second, challenges emerged. Teachers’ classroom management responsibilities included laptop monitoring, access issues as a consequence of network filtering policies, and a need for additional technology-based professional development for teachers and time to practice new skills. While some positive effects were visible, eight years into the one-to-one laptop initiative problems were evident, and administrative support as well as teacher acceptance seemed to play an important role in teachers’ willingness to regularly and enthusiastically modify their pedagogy to include technology in teaching strategies and student lessons.

Digital teaching materials are today considered an important complement in the teaching of mathematics in today's school. As our society becomes increasingly digital, it is even more important that the school adapts and develops its knowledge in digital curricula. That teachers then have knowledge of how these teaching aids are structured and work is now even more important, partly so they know which teaching aid is most effective both for the student's knowledge and development and as an aid to the teacher's ability to assess. In this work, a qualitative content analysis of five digital teaching materials in mathematics has been done. The purpose of the content analysis was to see which digital teaching materials have feedback as part of their offer and whether the teacher has the opportunity to provide feedback to the students in the digital teaching materials in mathematics for grades 1-3. All the digital teaching materials have been analyzed based on the student's and teacher's insight into the teaching materials, this was done with the help of an analysis schedule. The results have then been set against different levels of feedback to conclude that all five digital teaching aids have feedback at the task level as an important aspect. Furthermore, the analysis showed that there are three "types" of e-textbooks. One of the digital teaching materials examined belonged to one "type" of e-textbook while the other four belonged to one and the same. Finally, it could be stated that all five digital teaching aids have some shortcomings when it comes to feedback.
Digitala läromedel anses idag vara ett viktigt komplement i undervisningen inom matematik i dagens skola.

Este estudo investiga os processos de co-construções webcurriculares em um curso de Língua Inglesa, caracterizado pela ausência de livro didático e cujas construções das aulas são mediatizadas pelas tecnologias digitais da informação e comunicação, suas ferramentas e seus recursos. Amalgamados em movimentos agênticos de alunos e professor, os processos de construção de discursos e enunciados (BAKHTIN, 1929), sentidos e significados (BRUNER, 1960) por meio de práticas translíngues (CANAGARAJAH, 2013) oferecem alguns dos elementos mediatizadores para que esses processos de co-construções de novas arquiteturas pedagógicas ocorram. Essa composição caleidoscópica que fomenta a ecologia social e cultural desta pesquisa etnográfica é caracterizada por ser interpretativa em busca de significados (GEERTZ, 1973), e não uma análise de uma ciência experimental em busca de uma lei. Assim, este trabalho encontra-se organizado em três capítulos que discorrem sobre as concepções que envolvem esta pesquisa etnográfica e seus processos de construção de dados contemplando os webcurrículos, as agências e as práticas translíngues por meio dos letramentos. A partir dos conceitos de temporalidade (EMIRBAYER e MISCHE, 1998) e da abordagem ecológica da agência (BIESTA e TEDDER, 2007) é possível observar como os movimentos agênticos de cada um dos sujeitos da pesquisa dialogam em busca de um equilíbrio outro, a partir de forças que emanam dessa ecologia social, cultural e material. Assim, o leitor é convidado a espiar através das lentes deste pesquisador-etnógrafo, alguns movimentos e olhares construídos, cujos elementos mediadores são os letramentos com as suas múltiplas linguagens e as tecnologias digitais da informação e comunicação. Tal composição ecológica propicia a abertura de novas janelas acompanhadas por visões de mundo outras, cujos elementos possibilitam infinitas combinações que fomentam a construção de outros tipos de conhecimentos inacabados.
English language program, characterized by the absence of textbooks and whose classroom constructions are mediated by digital information and communication technologies, their tools and their resources. The processes of constructing discourses and speeches (BAKHTIN, 1929), sense and meanings (BRUNER, 1960) by means of translingual practices (CANAGARAJAH, 2013) offer some of the mediatizing elements for these processes of co-constructions of new pedagocial architectures to occur. This kaleidoscopic composition that fosters the social and cultural ecology of this ethnographic research is characterized by being interpretative in search of meanings (GEERTZ, 1973), and not an analysis of an experimental science in search of a law. Thus, this work is organized in three chapters that discuss the conceptions that involve this ethnographic research and its processes of data construction contemplating the web-based curricula, the agencies and the translingual practices and the literacies. Based on the concepts of temporality (EMIRBAYER and MISCHE, 1998) and the ecological approach of agencies (BIESTA and TEDDER, 2007), it is possible to observe how the agentic movements of each of the research subjects intertwine in seach of some equilibrium of the other, whose forces emanate from this social, cultural and material ecology. Thus, the reader is invited to peer through the lenses of this ethnographer-researcher, some of the constructed movements and looks, whose mediating elements are the literacies and their multiple languages and the digital technologies of information and communication. Such ecological composition allows the opening of new windows accompanied by other world views, whose elements allow infinite combinations that foment the construction of other types of knowledge, unfinished knowledge.

The teaching project HIS (Holistic International STEMs – Learning with case studies and real life industry experiences) is presented as part of the poster session. Experience shows that German (outgoing) and international (incoming) students have difficulties to communicate properly at the workplace in Germany as well as abroad due to language differences, especially in STEM terms. In addition, young professionals often do not have experience in working in international or virtual teams. All those challenges are current job requirements, not just in global companies. But: How to teach this in higher education? The classical formats of lectures or seminars are not suitable. Therefore, there is a need to develop and prove new teaching formats, within the curriculum as well as extracurricular. With focus on STEM subjects the presented project combines three current impacts on higher education: Internationalization, digitalization, and labor market orientation. The concept of the project is that STEM students from different countries will attend an international, virtual summer school (April to June 2016). They solve real-life job case studies together in small interdisciplinary teams. The participants are mentored by national and international industry partners and STEM professors. With such, the participants will improve language and communication skills, and apply and exchange their expertise as well as gain intercultural work experience. The concept was awarded by the “Stifterverband für die deutsche Wissenschaft” (Donors association for the promotion of humanities and sciences in Germany). The poster introduces the project and exemplary the three-dimensional assignments of one case study (occupational, lingual, and intercultural). At present, the project should be handled as a “project in progress”. Keywords: technology, teaching projects, STEM, internationalization, digitalization, labor market orientation, employability, job orientation, competencies, development of new curricula

Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar se universidades brasileiras aumentaram a carga horária e o número de disciplinas de tecnologia nas matrizes curriculares de seus cursos de Graduação em Relações Públicas, especialmente após a publicação das DCNs (Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais) de 2013. Para atingir o objetivo, além da revisão de literatura, foram realizados: mapeamento de todos os cursos de Graduação em RP oferecidos no Brasil; pesquisa qualitativa, por meio de entrevistas em profundidade com coordenadores de IES (Instituições de Ensino Superior); e pesquisa documental, em que foi realizada análise das matrizes curriculares de 10 universidades do Brasil e do exterior. Entende-se que a ruptura da linha divisória entre emissor e receptor, provocada especialmente pelo advento da Web, acelerou a velocidade das trocas de informações, o que impactou a atividade de Relações Públicas e, também, as IES, que precisaram se adaptar a uma nova realidade para formar seus estudantes. Com as DCNs do Curso de RP, publicadas no Diário Oficial da União do dia 1° de outubro de 2013, que apresentam atenção ampliada sobre aspectos relativos à tecnologia, aparentemente buscou-se integração com essas mudanças. Após selecionar 10 universidades pelos critérios de IGC (Índice Geral de Cursos) do Inep/MEC (Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira/Ministério da Educação) e de proporção de cursos por regiões do país, foram realizadas entrevistas com coordenadores de curso de Graduação em RP de universidades públicas e privadas para averiguar como o tema \"tecnologia\" é tratado em diferentes realidades brasileiras. Constatou-se, por meio dos procedimentos metodológicos utilizados, aumento considerável no número de disciplinas de tecnologia e, o mais importante, na carga horária dedicada ao tema, o que pode permitir ampliação de desenvolvimento de habilidades e competências (literacias digitais) para lidar com plataformas digitais.
The present study aims at evaluating whether Brazilian universities have increased their course load and number of technology subjects in the core curricula of their Undergraduate Public Relations course, mainly after the issue of the 2013 Curricular Guidelines in Upper-Level Education (DCNs). In order to accomplish its purpose, besides the review of the literature, it had been conducted the mapping of all Undergraduate courses of Public Relations available in Brazil; qualitative research by means of in-depth interviews with Higher Education Institutions (IES) coordinators; and document analysis where the core curricula of ten universities from Brazil and from abroad were analyzed. We understand that the rupture of the dividing line between transmitter and receiver, caused mainly by the advent of the Web, sped up information exchanges, which caused an impact on Public Relations activities as well as on the HEIs, which needed to adapt themselves to a new reality in order to educate their students. With the DCNs of the PR course, published in the Official Federal Gazette of October 1st, 2013, which provide a broad concern for aspects regarding technology, we seemingly searched for some integration with those changes. After choosing 10 universities pursuant to criteria of the General Index for Programs (IGC) of the Inep/MEC (National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira/Ministry of Education) and based on the ratio of courses according to the country\'s areas, interviews with Undergraduate courses of PR coordinators from public and private universities were conducted, in order to investigate how the subject \"technology\" is viewed in different Brazilian realities. Through methodological procedures, a significant increase of the number of technology subjects were verified, and most importantly, of the course load regarding the subject, which may allow the increase of development of skills and competencies (digital literacies) in order to deal with digital platforms.

AbstractIn this chapter, we explore the factors involved in developing digital citizenship through social media use in schools for 14-year-old students in four Nordic countries. The call for digital citizenship and digital citizenship education stems from the new and multiple ways in which young people are engaging in and communicating about civic issues through the use of social media. Schools could be considered to play a core part in developing students’ digital civic engagement, yet the field of digital citizenship education and the factors that enable engagement in schools are underexplored. To address this issue, in this chapter we have completed a mixed methods study analyzing the national curricula in the four Nordic countries and complementing this with an analysis of data from school leaders, teachers, and 14-year-old students participating in the IEA International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) 2016. The findings of the analysis show that digital citizenship and citizenship in general are prevailing ideals in the national curricula and that schools are well-equipped technologically. Yet, both teachers and students are ambivalent in their use of social media for developing digital citizenship. Thus, we argue that digital citizenship in education is a manifold and emerging phenomenon and that students might be important guides for its further development in schools.

[This Proceedings paper was revised and published in the 2019 issue of the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology, Volume 16] Aim/Purpose: The aim of this project was to explore a method to enable an updated under-standing of digital literacy to be implemented in curricula in an environment of an existing, but outdated, understanding of digital literacy. . Background: The changing healthcare environment increasingly emphasizes the importance of digital literacy skills; therefore academics in the optometry discipline at Deakin University sought to better understand where digital literacy skills were taught in their program, and whether delivery was implicit or explicit. Methodology: This case study describes a systematic review of the optometric curriculum to first identify where and what digital literacy skills are currently being addressed in the curriculum, identify the gaps, and develop a strategy to address the gaps. Contribution: The main outcome of this work is the development of a spiraling curriculum to support the development of digital literacy skills required in later units of the program and for clinical practice post-graduation. Findings: Although the definition of digital literacy may be outdated, the digital literacy capabilities being addressed in the curriculum had grown as digital technology use by staff and students had expanded. This, together with the realization that students were not as digitally capable as expected, indicated that teaching digital literacy skills needed to be made overt throughout the curriculum. Recommendations for Practitioners: The process developed through this case study provides a strong foundation for course teams, curriculum developers and educational designers to efficiently analyze digital literacy expectations in existing, accredited health-related curricula and improve the curricula by more overtly embedding digital literacy teaching into it. Impact on Society: Graduates of the amended program of study are expected to be better prepared to undertake their future careers in a digitally enhanced and disrupted environment. Future Research: The framework will be used to explore digital literacy teaching practices in other disciplines. A systematic evaluation will be undertaken to identify the benefits and short comings of using the framework. The elements that make up the new definition of digital literacy need to be better articulated to allow curriculum developers to be better informed as to how to interpret the framework in their context.

This report maps the African landscape of Open Science – with a focus on Open Data as a sub-set of Open Science. Data to inform the landscape study were collected through a variety of methods, including surveys, desk research, engagement with a community of practice, networking with stakeholders, participation in conferences, case study presentations, and workshops hosted. Although the majority of African countries (35 of 54) demonstrates commitment to science through its investment in research and development (R&D), academies of science, ministries of science and technology, policies, recognition of research, and participation in the Science Granting Councils Initiative (SGCI), the following countries demonstrate the highest commitment and political willingness to invest in science: Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda. In addition to existing policies in Science, Technology and Innovation (STI), the following countries have made progress towards Open Data policies: Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, South Africa and Uganda. Only two African countries (Kenya and South Africa) at this stage contribute 0.8% of its GDP (Gross Domestic Product) to R&D (Research and Development), which is the closest to the AU’s (African Union’s) suggested 1%. Countries such as Lesotho and Madagascar ranked as 0%, while the R&D expenditure for 24 African countries is unknown. In addition to this, science globally has become fully dependent on stable ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) infrastructure, which includes connectivity/bandwidth, high performance computing facilities and data services. This is especially applicable since countries globally are finding themselves in the midst of the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR), which is not only “about” data, but which “is” data. According to an article1 by Alan Marcus (2015) (Senior Director, Head of Information Technology and Telecommunications Industries, World Economic Forum), “At its core, data represents a post-industrial opportunity. Its uses have unprecedented complexity, velocity and global reach. As digital communications become ubiquitous, data will rule in a world where nearly everyone and everything is connected in real time. That will require a highly reliable, secure and available infrastructure at its core, and innovation at the edge.” Every industry is affected as part of this revolution – also science. An important component of the digital transformation is “trust” – people must be able to trust that governments and all other industries (including the science sector), adequately handle and protect their data. This requires accountability on a global level, and digital industries must embrace the change and go for a higher standard of protection. “This will reassure consumers and citizens, benefitting the whole digital economy”, says Marcus. A stable and secure information and communication technologies (ICT) infrastructure – currently provided by the National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) – is key to advance collaboration in science. The AfricaConnect2 project (AfricaConnect (2012–2014) and AfricaConnect2 (2016–2018)) through establishing connectivity between National Research and Education Networks (NRENs), is planning to roll out AfricaConnect3 by the end of 2019. The concern however is that selected African governments (with the exception of a few countries such as South Africa, Mozambique, Ethiopia and others) have low awareness of the impact the Internet has today on all societal levels, how much ICT (and the 4th Industrial Revolution) have affected research, and the added value an NREN can bring to higher education and research in addressing the respective needs, which is far more complex than simply providing connectivity. Apart from more commitment and investment in R&D, African governments – to become and remain part of the 4th Industrial Revolution – have no option other than to acknowledge and commit to the role NRENs play in advancing science towards addressing the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals). For successful collaboration and direction, it is fundamental that policies within one country are aligned with one another. Alignment on continental level is crucial for the future Pan-African African Open Science Platform to be successful. Both the HIPSSA ((Harmonization of ICT Policies in Sub-Saharan Africa)3 project and WATRA (the West Africa Telecommunications Regulators Assembly)4, have made progress towards the regulation of the telecom sector, and in particular of bottlenecks which curb the development of competition among ISPs. A study under HIPSSA identified potential bottlenecks in access at an affordable price to the international capacity of submarine cables and suggested means and tools used by regulators to remedy them. Work on the recommended measures and making them operational continues in collaboration with WATRA. In addition to sufficient bandwidth and connectivity, high-performance computing facilities and services in support of data sharing are also required. The South African National Integrated Cyberinfrastructure System5 (NICIS) has made great progress in planning and setting up a cyberinfrastructure ecosystem in support of collaborative science and data sharing. The regional Southern African Development Community6 (SADC) Cyber-infrastructure Framework provides a valuable roadmap towards high-speed Internet, developing human capacity and skills in ICT technologies, high- performance computing and more. The following countries have been identified as having high-performance computing facilities, some as a result of the Square Kilometre Array7 (SKA) partnership: Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Mauritius, Namibia, South Africa, Tunisia, and Zambia. More and more NRENs – especially the Level 6 NRENs 8 (Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, and recently Zambia) – are exploring offering additional services; also in support of data sharing and transfer. The following NRENs already allow for running data-intensive applications and sharing of high-end computing assets, bio-modelling and computation on high-performance/ supercomputers: KENET (Kenya), TENET (South Africa), RENU (Uganda), ZAMREN (Zambia), EUN (Egypt) and ARN (Algeria). Fifteen higher education training institutions from eight African countries (Botswana, Benin, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Sudan, and Tanzania) have been identified as offering formal courses on data science. In addition to formal degrees, a number of international short courses have been developed and free international online courses are also available as an option to build capacity and integrate as part of curricula. The small number of higher education or research intensive institutions offering data science is however insufficient, and there is a desperate need for more training in data science. The CODATA-RDA Schools of Research Data Science aim at addressing the continental need for foundational data skills across all disciplines, along with training conducted by The Carpentries 9 programme (specifically Data Carpentry 10 ). Thus far, CODATA-RDA schools in collaboration with AOSP, integrating content from Data Carpentry, were presented in Rwanda (in 2018), and during17-29 June 2019, in Ethiopia. Awareness regarding Open Science (including Open Data) is evident through the 12 Open Science-related Open Access/Open Data/Open Science declarations and agreements endorsed or signed by African governments; 200 Open Access journals from Africa registered on the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ); 174 Open Access institutional research repositories registered on openDOAR (Directory of Open Access Repositories); 33 Open Access/Open Science policies registered on ROARMAP (Registry of Open Access Repository Mandates and Policies); 24 data repositories registered with the Registry of Data Repositories (re3data.org) (although the pilot project identified 66 research data repositories); and one data repository assigned the CoreTrustSeal. Although this is a start, far more needs to be done to align African data curation and research practices with global standards. Funding to conduct research remains a challenge. African researchers mostly fund their own research, and there are little incentives for them to make their research and accompanying data sets openly accessible. Funding and peer recognition, along with an enabling research environment conducive for research, are regarded as major incentives. The landscape report concludes with a number of concerns towards sharing research data openly, as well as challenges in terms of Open Data policy, ICT infrastructure supportive of data sharing, capacity building, lack of skills, and the need for incentives. Although great progress has been made in terms of Open Science and Open Data practices, more awareness needs to be created and further advocacy efforts are required for buy-in from African governments. A federated African Open Science Platform (AOSP) will not only encourage more collaboration among researchers in addressing the SDGs, but it will also benefit the many stakeholders identified as part of the pilot phase. The time is now, for governments in Africa, to acknowledge the important role of science in general, but specifically Open Science and Open Data, through developing and aligning the relevant policies, investing in an ICT infrastructure conducive for data sharing through committing funding to making NRENs financially sustainable, incentivising open research practices by scientists, and creating opportunities for more scientists and stakeholders across all disciplines to be trained in data management.
