What is Digital Resilience?
Digital resilience is your ability to maximize, control and respond to the ever-changing digital world. Whilst software packages and tools come and go, developing your personal resilience will ensure you can overcome any of the digital challenges you face. In essence it equips you with ideas, options and opportunities.
The ADD team are here to support, guide, collaborate and help you navigate your learning needs as you develop your digital resilience and foster inclusive working and teaching practices. Our digital portfolio includes the following offer:

In Conversation
In Conversation is an approach to video-based resource creation developed by the ADD team which seeks to bring multiple voices to a topic and anchors these through a series of questions, responses and reflective statements. We are using this approach to:
- Model the practice of adding a pedagogic wrapper to video-based content.
- Tackle conversations that are at the heart of our ADD portfolio.
- Develop a range of resources that can be used by staff and students to trigger ‘important’ conversations.
If you would like to discuss the creation of an In Conversation topic or would like to know more about how you could utilize this approach please contact our ADD graduate intern Daria Krolak (dak387@exchange.shu.ac.uk)
Digital Capability and Capacity Group
This is a community of practice which represents individuals who work and lead in the digital space across the University. This group seeks to:
- generate a shared understanding of the current work and future plans in the ‘digital/online space’.
- collectively identify areas for collaboration which will promote integrated staff and student facing approaches, identifying immediate priority actions.
- Foster more collaborative approaches to meeting and shaping university priorities for these three key groups: Professional Services/ Academic and Research Staff/ Students
