Welcome to FLO MicroCourse: Introducing the B.C. Digital Literacy Framework!

Course Flow

This course is largely asynchronous and you can expect to spend at least 60 – 90 minutes per day over the next five days. However, you are also welcome to invest more time and explore it at your own pace.

The course is structured into 5 days. Each day represents a different learning objective and includes a list of suggested to-dos. While each day stands alone and the activities can be done independently of the other days, it is recommended that you follow along in a sequential order to get the most out of this course.

During the week, you will be invited to participate in a variety of ways. We are mindful of the fact that many of you have competing priorities, and with this understanding, we encourage you to engage in ways that work best for you. Active and timely participation will make this a richer experience for all participants.

While most activities and learning will happen asynchronously, this course has two synchronous sessions:

Tuesday, March 5, 2024 10:00–11:00 a.m. PT

Thursday, March 7, 2024. 10:00–11:00 a.m. PT

These sessions will be recorded.
