Managing your online identity?
What does that even mean?

Feedback
Google searching session – some really good tips that I can use with the students and in 1-2-1s
More confidence in how to potentially use tablet devices with school groups
Enjoyed the opportunity to discuss ideas/tools/new services
![Page 12: Trying to stay one app ahead: developing an in-house digital literacy programme for library staff. Sally Patalong Subject Librarian, Coventry University](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e205503460f94b0b487/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Never used a tablet device before – good to see the positives (and limitations) of these
More knowledge of cloud computing – saving and accessing documents/collaboration tools could be really useful
Useful to learn about digital security – would like to see more about this from ITS
![Page 13: Trying to stay one app ahead: developing an in-house digital literacy programme for library staff. Sally Patalong Subject Librarian, Coventry University](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e205503460f94b0b487/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Overall:Tablets are useful for meetings, helpful to know how they work and how to use apps
Digital security – changed working practices
Moodle and Mahara – use them more, good to have a greater understanding of the student perspective

What were your aims at the beginning of the course?Improve my knowledge of using digital resources
Become aware of aspects that I don’t use, e.g. Twitter
To learn more about online security
Broaden understanding
![Page 18: Trying to stay one app ahead: developing an in-house digital literacy programme for library staff. Sally Patalong Subject Librarian, Coventry University](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e205503460f94b0b487/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Have these been achieved?
Yes!
![Page 19: Trying to stay one app ahead: developing an in-house digital literacy programme for library staff. Sally Patalong Subject Librarian, Coventry University](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e205503460f94b0b487/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How could we improve the course?
Make sessions optional
Security and digital footprint sessions would have been better/more useful at the beginning to help you make better decisions
