Cultivating Digital Leaders -- Campus Technology

A program at Georgia State University is widening the scope of digital literacy to include problem-solving and leadership strategies. Most every college or university recognizes the importance of digital literacy to future graduates, and increasingly, you'll find technology competencies and digital skill development experiences included widely in general education programs. But at Georgia State University, leaders within the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning are making certain that GSU's digital literacy offerings will spawn not only technically competent individuals, but also a diverse range of professional leaders who know how to use their technology skills in context for better problem solving. Digital Learners to Leaders is an experiential learning program aimed at developing the next generation of digital problem solvers through industry/higher-education partnerships and exposure to digital technologies and the Internet of Things. DLL began as a co-curricular program, seeing its first cohort of 45 students in Spring 2018.
