This capability area focuses on the capacity to engage, work and communicate with others in digital spaces. This is often required within your degree, such as needing to use digital tools to collaborate for a group assessment. After graduation, it will be important to continue building this ability as you move into the workforce and need to communicate with colleagues and peers in your industry, and work collaboratively on professional projects.
To effectively communicate, collaborate and participate in digital spaces, it is essential to consider a holistic view of these interactions. Beyond being able to operate the software or platform needed, consider cultural elements including the language used by the people you are connecting with, differing communication preferences such as those displayed by extroverted and introverted people, and the nuances of non-verbal communication that are important to be aware of when you aren't meeting face to face. UOW has a range of resources to get you started with building your capabilities in this area.
