The  National Digital Literacy Programme (NDLP)

Digital technology is becoming increasingly pervasive in  jobs, workplaces and society.

The National Digital Learning Programme (NDLP) was launched in March 2020 to help students strengthen their digital literacy and acquire digital skills needed to navigate an increasingly digitalised world through four mutually reinforcing components in the ‘Find, Think, Apply and Create’ framework.

• Find - Critically gather and evaluate information from, and use digital resources in a safe, secure, responsible and ethical manner 

• Think - Interpret and analyse data, and solve problems

• Apply - Use software and devices to facilitate the use of knowledge and skills in new contexts; keep up with technological developments

• Create - Produce content and artefacts, and engage and collaborate with others digitally

Under the NDLP, every secondary school student will own a school-prescribed personal learning device (PLD). Students may use funds from their Edusave Account to pay for the PLD. The device will be used to facilitate an environment that encourages personalised learning.

Intended Outcomes of a Personalised Learning Environment

The use of the Personal Learning Device for teaching and learning aims to:

• Support the Development of Digital Literacy

• Support Self-Directed and Collaborative Learning

• Enhance Teaching and Learning
