It's About Learning

The British Computing Society (BCS) has offered ACU the opportunity to use, license, administer and distribute in North America their Digital Creator learning system. BCS is the Chartered Institute for IT in the UK which promotes wider social and economic progress through the advancement of information technology science and practice. In addition to being a credentialing organization they  bring together industry, academics, practitioners and government to share knowledge, promote new thinking, inform the design of new curricula, shape public policy and inform the public on information technology.

BCS has recognized that digital media has seeped into almost every aspect of our daily lives, from advertisements, to television programmes, to the music, photos and video we carry on our mobile phones and portable music player. In response to this reality, BCS has developed DigitalCre8or that encourages learners to create real life digital media projects that build into an innovative digital assessment e-portfolio. The syllabus is aligned with the UK National Qualifications Framework and is a nationally-recognised qualification. Digital Creator is ideal for school children or anybody wishing to gain skills in digital media and is a creative and interactive way to learn about the techniques and technologies involved in manipulating these kinds of media.

BCS has asked ACU to consider using DigitalCre8or in its mobile learning program,  collaborate on the development of a mobile learning module and become the North American center for DigitalCre8tor distribution and training.
