About the pathway
The Digital Literacy WordFit is a resource developed for learners to help them learn specialised words for digital literacy.
Educators can encourage their learners to use this resource to support their digital literacy development.
Topics covered
The ‘Digital Literacy WordFit’ includes 100 words. Each module displays a set of five words at a time.
The first screen tests the learner's existing knowledge using image and audio cues. Subsequent screens provide practice through a series of interactions that help the user learn unknown words.
These include activities for reading, listening to and spelling the word, finding the meaning, and using the word in sentence.
How to register
To access the WordFit resource, visit the Pathways Awarua website and sign up as an Educator. Once registered and logged in, select the ‘Learner Pathways’ tile, and then the ‘WordFit’ tile.
Pathways Awarua regularly offer free webinars for educators to familiarise themselves with the learning platform.
Professional learning and development (PLD) is central to maintaining teaching excellence, equity of learner outcomes, and future readiness in the tertiary sector.
In response to the evolving needs of New Zealand’s tertiary sector, Ako Aotearoa commissioned a strategic review of professional learning and development (PLD) across the sector. The resulting report offers a comprehensive overview of the most pressing PLD needs, barriers to participation, and future opportunities.
