The extent to which university departments foster learning literacies that equip students with the diverse skills required for employment in a digital world is an issue that is under increased scrutiny in British higher education. The Learning Literacies in the Digital Age report (LLiDA by Beetham et al. 2009) offers a framework of learning literacies, which encompasses a range of literacies including academic, information, digital and media literacies. Building on the LLiDA framework, this article outlines and discusses an approach
that aimed to extend the development of information literacies of first-year undergraduate students along with digital and media literacies. The central characteristics of this approach involved students working collaboratively, in teams, on an enquiry-based learning task using
the institutional virtual learning environment’s wiki tool. The task involved developing and creating a wiki on exactly the kind of learning literacies that students were meant to acquire during this enquiry. This dual development was underpinned by the collaborative input of
staff from academic and central services departments. Student survey feedback and observation were used to map the various gains in the areas of 1) collaboration and communication skills, 2) information literacy (IL), academic practice (study skills) and employability skills, 3) media and digital/computer literacies and, finally, 4) disciplinary skills.
The findings confirm the usefulness of the LLiDA framework as well as point to its potential for further development to map literacies specific to the discipline.
‘“Girls, Girls, Girls”? The Los Angeles Metal Scene and the Politics of Gender in Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years’

Drawing initially on research on the gendering of music scenes this article will suggest that the documentary The Metal Years (1988) depicts a Los Angeles heavy metal scene that, in accordance with popular versions of histories of this scene, is ostensibly male-dominated. However, through subsequent analysis of the film that will focus upon the performances and testimonies of individuals featured within it, together with a consideration of other primary and secondary
accounts of this scene, this article will contend that gender relations evident within the text are more complex than they first appear. There are tensions and contradictions apparent within The Metal Years that complicate simplistic dismissals of the scene as sexist and misogynistic. Thus, this article will argue that the film should be regarded as a revealing piece of historical evidence that sheds light on a hitherto under-researched music scene.
He’ll Have To Go: Popular Music and the Social Performing of Memory

Studies of music listening have often relied upon what people say and write about listening in order to discuss its significance to memory. While this approach has provided useful insights into connections between musical activity and memory, this article will make clear that such an approach often neglects what people do when listening and remembering. This article will present an ethnographic case study focusing on John, a 64 year old man who, on the surface, seems to have great difficulty with coherently elucidating his memories. However, it will be revealed that musical performing constitutes a valuable resource for John; enabling him to communicate his memories in ways that are powerfully affective and to construct a positive sense of self-identity. Thus, the article will provide an insight into the potential advantages of utilising ethnographic research to attend to performative elements of music-related remembering, but it will
also explore some of the methodological difficulties that are involved with this approach.
