Educators’ digital literacies: the role of pedagogical design in innovation

The role of educators is changing. In addition to mediating their discipline, educators need to mediate contemporary digital cultures to help students develop digital literacies. This paper explores how the pedagogical design for an online Master’s module addressed these challenges by foregrounding participation and knowledge creation. An auto-ethnographic action research approach was used to capture and reflect upon the decisions and roles adopted by the author during the introduction of collective blogging.
