Abstract
In efforts to improve students' digital literacies on a STEM-focused campus, one university created a digital literacies initiative to support both faculty and students. Faculty development programming supported the development of assignment parameters, detailed assessment rubrics, and scaffolding activities. A campus tutoring center was piloted to support students' acquisition of digital literacies. This chapter offers examples from three faculty members who participated in the digital literacies initiative and implemented digital literacy assignments in their courses. The researchers offer best practices for campuses interested in developing digital literacy initiatives.
