Digital Fluency Community of Practice (DFCoP)

Our online community is a gateway to mastering the potential of fluency-driven instruction.

Led by faculty and staff from diverse backgrounds, we explore various trending topics, such as digital storytelling, data visualization, and artificial intelligence. The goal of this community is to create a framework to explore, engage, and implement digital fluency practices. Community members are expected to demonstrate a willingness to learn, exchange ideas, and enhance student success by implementing innovative concepts. We value respect, inclusivity, and agility in leveraging digital tools to produce artifacts for educational and professional purposes. For more information, contact Helen Hu.

Community Opportunities

Engage Through Teams Space

Our Microsoft Teams channel allows participants to connect with other educators interested in digital fluency and offers a space to share ideas, questions, and experiences. With community conversations and invaluable networking opportunities, DFCoP curates resources designed to expand your understanding of digital tools, trends, and technology-enhanced teaching practices.

Monthly Meetings

Members will have the option to meet bi-weekly to discuss topics related to digital fluency. Each meeting will center around a different subject matter, and the group will be charged with hands-on tasks to solve various challenges and produce artifacts that others can build upon.
