The Digital Literacy Skills Framework (DLSF) was developed for use in the Commonwealth Government’s Foundation Skills for Your Future Program launched in 2020. The DLSF covers ACSF Pre Level 1 to Level 3.
It has been developed to sit alongside the ACSF with the same format of Core Skill, Indicators, Focus Areas, Performance Features and Sample Activities. It utilises the existing Performance Variables Grid which provides essential information about the Support, Context, Text Complexity and Task Complexity appropriate at every ACSF level.
The DLSF is currently in draft form and is available for use and to provide feedback on, with a view to finalising in the first half of 2021.
In this webinar, Philippa and Jenni will walk participants through the development of the Framework, the key components, layout and structure. We will also invite interaction with participants through discussion of a range of sample activities and assessment tasks for the DLSF.
