Digital Navigator Model - National Digital Inclusion Alliance Historically, most individuals have had to navigate home access to internet, devices, and technical support on their own, which leaves some unable to fully participate in our society, democracy and economy. Reliance on group access at anchor institutions, such as public libraries was inconvenient prior to COVID is now not a safe option. Digital inclusion has not yet been fully woven into our social support systems and community institutions. NDIA is convening the field weekly to respond to rapidly changing conditions. This page will be updated frequently. Digital Navigators are individuals who address the whole digital inclusion process — home connectivity, devices, and digital skills — with community members through repeated interactions. Navigators can be volunteers or cross-trained staff who already work in social service agencies, libraries, health, and more who offer remote and socially distant in-person guidance.
External Resources | Northstar Digital Literacy This page includes a variety of publicly available learning resources that may support additional practice with Northstar standards. These resources were not created by Northstar. Since we now offer online learning modules and a comprehensive classroom curriculum, this list of external resources is not being actively maintained by our team. We have developed 1:1 Digital Literacy Skills Volunteer Tutor Plans, resources to support volunteer tutors working with learners one-on-one. These resources guide tutors who are accessing external resources. The plans help tutors follow best practice in instruction while targeting specific digital literacy skills learners need to work on. Please note, we now provide comprehensive classroom curricula for each assessment, which have been created by Northstar - these curricula are available only through Northstar testing locations. In the resources below, note that links to a text resource, links to a media resource, and links to an activity resource. Mac OS

Developing digital literacies Digital literacies are those capabilities which fit an individual for living, learning and working in a digital society. Digital literacy looks beyond functional IT skills to describe a richer set of digital behaviours, practices and identities. What it means to be digitally literate changes over time and across contexts, so digital literacies are essentially a set of academic and professional situated practices supported by diverse and changing technologies. This definition quoted above can be used as a starting point to explore what key digital literacies are in a particular context eg university, college, service, department, subject area or professional environment. Digital literacies encompasses a range of other capabilities represented here in a seven elements model: Digital literacy as a developmental process Defining digital literacy in your context Background About this resource This detailed guide draws on this to provide a set of practical guidance, tools and approaches.
OER STEM Project | LINCS Open Educational Resources to Increase Teaching and Learning of STEM Subjects in Adult Education The Project The Open Educational Resources to Increase Teaching and Learning of STEM Subjects in Adult Education Project, or simply the OER STEM Project, aims to strengthen science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) instructional content and practice in adult education specifically through the use of widely available and free open educational resources (OERs). To meet this goal, the OER STEM Project has engaged adult educators to serve as User Group Members who locate, use, evaluate, and share science and math OERs that are appropriate for adult education classes. The project is also developing online professional development courses for teachers on how to use OERs for math and science instruction in their adult education classrooms.
