National Digital Literacy Programme

National Digital Literacy Programme (NDLP)

The National Digital Literacy Programme was launched in March 2020 and is intended to equip all Secondary Students with digital literacies across the 4 components: Find, Think, Apply, and Create.

Through the NDLP, students will own personal learning devices (PLD) that will enable them to learn effectively through ICT-mediated activities. The device will be used to facilitate an environment that encourages personalized learning. Support will be given to ensure that no child is denied this opportunity. Singapore Citizen students can use their Edusave Account to pay for the PLD.

Intended Outcome

There are 3 intended outcomes of the 1:1 personalized learning environment.

The use of personal learning devices for teaching and learning will

Support the development of digital literacies, where students will learn digital skills such as gathering and evaluating information online, interacting with the online community, and creating digital products.

Support self-directed and collaborative learning, where students can access digital resources on their own to acquire knowledge about a topic of their interest beyond the curriculum. They can also share and build on one another's ideas, and refine their own understanding.

Enhance Teaching & Learning. 1:1 learning environment allows teachers and students to harness technology for greater effectiveness in teaching. For example, instructions, activities, and feedback for each student could be more tailored and relevant to students' learning needs.

Springfield Digital Learning Vision

At Springfield Secondary School, students will be using PLD for active learning in all subjects, including the conduct, completion & submission of authentic learning/inquiry tasks that require research, digital creation, and collaborative learning.

The students will also be embarking on a series of self-paced New Media Literacies lessons on the Student Learning Space (SLS), with facilitated discussions on cyber wellness, key digital skills, and literacies by teachers.
