DESCRIPTION:Many researchers work closely with distressing stories\, data\
 , and experiences – but we rarely talk about the impact this has on us. 
 This Qualitative Research Hub session introduces the TDEP (Teaching Develo
 pment and Enhancement Programme) SUPPORT (Scalable\, Unified Practices for
  Presenting Ongoing Researcher Trauma) project\, focusing on vicarious (se
 condary) trauma in research\, and will invite participants to reflect on t
 heir experiences\, emerging findings\, practical responses\, and the devel
 opment of shared resources for safer\, more sustainable research practice.
  Open to all Oxford students and staff from any discipline. Workshop detai
 ls coming soon\, with lunch provided.\n\nhttps://teams.microsoft.com/dl/la

SUMMARY:Navigating Digital Literacy: Exploring First-Year Students' Challe

DESCRIPTION:This study examines the digital literacy experiences of first-
 year students at a South African university\, focusing on understanding th
 e challenges and support mechanisms that shape their ability to use techno
 logy effectively. These insights aim to inform the design of a comprehensi
 ve digital literacy course that better meets the diverse needs of first-ye
 ar students in higher education. Data were collected through focus group d
 iscussions\; participants from various facilities\, such as the business a
 nd engineering faculty and mixed faculty participants\, explored their def
 initions of digital literacy\, initial learning experiences\, frequency of
  computer use\, and support. The findings reveal that while students gener
 ally define digital literacy as the ability to use technology\, many face 
 significant challenges\, including language barriers\, technical difficult
 ies\, and inadequate support\, particularly in academic assignments and pr
 esentations. Participants overwhelmingly prefer face-to-face instruction f
 or digital literacy due to concerns over network reliability and the quali
 ty of direct guidance. Moreover\, the study highlights a critical gap in t
 he existing digital literacy curriculum\, with students calling for an exp
 anded course encompassing diverse academic skills such as report writing a
 nd investigative research. These insights provide valuable implications fo
 r designing a comprehensive digital literacy course that can better equip 
 students to meet the demands of a rapidly digitalizing educational landsca
 pe. The study concludes with recommendations to update technological infra
 structure\, enhance digital literacy training\, and provide targeted suppo
 rt for under-resourced students.\n\nJoin in-person or online: https://team
