Digital Visual Literacy (DVL)

The words that ring in my head constantly these days are "Digital Visual Literacy." Its been a wonderful experience working on the project so far. I have been working as the Instructional design consultant and work with the subject matter experts from Brown University and the faculty from the community colleges in the Maricopa County.

What is DVL?
Digital visual literacy is a set of skills that enable students to function in an increasingly digital and visual workplace.

The NSF Grant
Supported by a three-year, $600,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, Mesa Community College (Mesa, Ariz.) and Brown University (Providence, R.I.) are developing pioneering curriculum modules for teaching digital visual literacy. As international culture and commerce become increasingly reliant on visual communications, visual literacy is becoming an essential skill for college graduates.
