2. What is Digital Literacy?

3. Digital literacy is the ability to find, evaluate, utilize,
share, and create content using information
technologies and the Internet. (Cornell University)
To be digitally literate is to have access to a broad range
of practices and cultural resources that you are able to
apply to digital tools. It is the ability to make and share
meaning in different modes and formats; to create,
collaborate and communicate effectively and to
understand how and when digital technologies can best
be used to support these processes. (Futurelab)
Digital literacy is using technologies to find, use and
disseminate information. (Deakin University)

4. The capabilities which fit
someone for living, learning and
working in a digital society.
(JISC)

5. applying off-the-shelf, ‘objective’
definitions of digital or new
literacies is likely to ultimately
lead to failure.….Context is key
