What You Need To Know 

A Hands-On, Minds-On Experience

Like No Other!

​

The Summer Institute in Digital Literacy at the University of Rhode Island is the nation’s premier professional development program in digital literacy. For 2023, the program will be a week-long interdisciplinary gathering designed especially for educators, librarians, and digital media professionals from around the world who work in K-12 schools or higher education contexts.

 

Join us as we build relationships and take a deep dive into hands-on, minds-on experiences that emphasize inquiry, collaboration, creation, and learning. Reflective walking tours through the city and evening social events across the week will ensure we make the most of our time together.

​

Location:  The 11th annual program will be held July 9 - 14, 2023 in a fully in-person format at the University of Rhode Island's downtown campus in Providence, RI.
