Digital and Information literacies are knowing how to find, evaluate, use and manage information using digital technology appropriately. They are part of lifelong learning and an important skill for all students.The Student Ambassadors for Digital Literacy project is looking at how we can best embed these skills into undergraduate teaching. We are look for plugged-in, enthusiastic undergraduates studying in the Department of Statistics and Social Policy to help develop digital and information literacy skills relevant to their courses, and tell us how we can better embed digital literacies into undergraduate teaching at the LSE.

In return, students will receive training for skills such as writing for blogs, maintaining a social media presence and managing research resources; skills which will be vital in their future careers. Participation in this project will be recognised in students’ LSE Personal Development Aide Memoir (PDAM), and students will also receive vouchers to spend online.

The deadline for applications is 27 November (Friday Week 8). For more information, please visit http://lsesadl.wordpress.com, follow the project on Twitter @LSESADL, or email Arun Karnad at a.r.karnad@lse.ac.uk.
