Having read the posts related to definitions of what constitute digital skills I have decided to take a slant that is more relevant to my own teaching context. I deliver a year one HE module on developing business modelling skills for marketing professionals. My search for resources is based around that.
In my searching I was not impressed with Ariadne at all. Where I was able to find a listing of a potentially useful resource it inevitably led to a dead link. The most useful for my topic was MERLOT.
