The majority of our courses today are taking place online, although we still run some courses exclusively on campus. As a result, it is easy to lose one&#8217;s motivation for teaching and developing courses in general. And that is not surprising, because everything suddenly seems different. Where are the students, who are the students and how do I communicate with them? So we come to the topic of digital literacy.<\/p>\n<p>I have developed my own digital literacy as both a teacher and a student of online courses, and concur with Belshaw, who defines such literacy as a &#8220;continuum of ambiguity&#8221; rather than a skill that one has or does not have (Belshaw, p. 22). So far, the course has really demonstrated that to me. While I feel comfortable using some of the digital tools we have at our disposal or are trying out (e.g. Zoom), others I find difficult to navigate and master, even though I have tried them out some before (e.g. Google.docs). This is a useful lesson for me.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>Reference:<\/p>\n<p>Belshaw, Doug.
