Abstract

The Professional Literacy Suite is a set of three embedded digital literacy modules developed to translate the University’s Graduate Learning Outcome of Digital Literacy and support employability. Created as a key Faculty of Business and Law initiative in collaboration with the Library, they are the first of their kind created at a course-wide level at Deakin University. The modules are interactive and media-rich, visually engaging, centred on strong learning design and scenario-based learning. Leveraging off the unique interactive and adaptive technologies of Tumult Hype and Smart Sparrow, their design enables the use of personalised learning, inbuilt analytics and large-scale implementation.
