The LevUL Up Digital Skills Hub (DSH) is an institutionally available Brightspace site launched in September 2023 to help University of Limerick (UL) students, and the staff who teach them, build confident, current, and literate digital practices. Grounded in recognised digital competence frameworks, the DSH offers a Discovery Tool self-diagnostic, a growing “Digital Essentials” series of asynchronous self-study lessons authored by the Digital Skills team, and a rolling calendar of live workshops. Since launch, over 2,200 people have self-enrolled, with 95% of survey respondents (~250) rating their self-study lesson experience positively.
DSH lessons such as 'AI Essentials: Student Guide to GenAI' are now embedded in modules across Arts, Business, E-learning, and Nursing, often as graded coursework, and are increasingly linked from programme information pages as UL’s de facto student introduction to GenAI.
We argue that the DSH itself inhabits a “here-and-not-yet” state. It is used and valued yet must evolve rapidly as the GenAI and wider digital skills landscape shifts.
Engagement data, student and lecturer reflections, and small team workflows will illustrate how content remains relevant and context-aware across disciplines.
Attendees will take away a practical model for scalable, UDL-aligned, curricular integration of GenAI (and other digital literacies) informed by national integrity and policy drivers.
