Digital Development and Technology in Sport: A Course to Improve Digital Literacy in the Sport Management Curriculum
Nicholas Swim; Regina Presley; Erica Thompson
Sport Management Education Journal, v18 n1 p87-93 2024
In today's technology-driven society, it is vital for students to be well prepared in digital competency when entering the workforce. More than ever, employers are seeking students with a clear understanding of digital literacy, especially in the sport management industry where the workforce has been quick to evolve and engage with new digital media platforms (Pedersen et al., 2021). The term "digital literacy" has multiple definitions, but in the context of this paper, the definition is the set of skills used to develop knowledge and communicate that knowledge with confidence to achieve objectives in the digital landscape (Buckingham, 2006; Lankshear et al., 2008). To address this in the sport management field, this paper discusses the implementation of a digital development course with a specific goal of enhancing students' digital skill development and ability to gain valuable digital competencies for future coursework and employment in sport.
