The Digital Rams Across Campus (DRAC) Project

Abstract

Track: Educational and Faculty Development

Scaling digital literacy efforts across a campus community requires creativity and intentionality. As the demand for digital literacy skills increases, the Digital Rams Across Campus (DRAC) Project engaged 25 faculty in creating digital assignments to embed in their courses by introducing over 1200 undergraduate students to different Adobe Creative Cloud applications. Guided by a new strategic plan to Unleash the Genius, the year-long DRAC Project demonstrates how digital tools can foster transformative learning experiences. Faculty of various ranks and disciplines applied to participate. To foster community, faculty had opportunities to engage in lunch and learn events, workshops, and other collaborative activities to orient and aid their progression through the project. At the close of the project, faculty report increases in their confidence to integrate digital literacy into their courses.
