Nearly every Friday throughout the academic year, we are hosting sessions related to digital literacy. Sponsored by the Digital Literacy Initiative, Pew FTLC, and eLearning Technologies, we are featuring faculty and staff experts who will share approaches, provide hands-on learning, and facilitate lively, cross-disciplinary conversations. The sessions rotate between the Allendale campus, Pew Grand Rapids campus, and Zoom. 

All sessions will take place from 11am to 12pm on Fridays.

The resources shared here are grounded in our understanding of digital literacy as the ability to use, create, evaluate, and engage critically with digital technologies to complete tasks safely and ethically in professional and civic contexts. We have assembled items that present various perspectives and approaches to teaching in the age of generative AI.

In June 2025 and January 2026, we held Digital Literacy Institutes. Faculty and staff joined us for case studies on how digital literacy is taking shape at GVSU. The sessions highlighted ways we can design opportunities for students to use, create, evaluate, and engage critically with digital technologies to complete tasks safely and ethically in professional and civic contexts, in alignment with GVSU’s definition of digital literacy. In these interactive sessions, your colleagues shared concrete teaching strategies and provided space for discussion. For some of the sessions, they had the chance to dive deeper into GVSU-supported technologies and explore applications for your teaching and professional work.
