Reimagining Digital Literacies:applying traditional literacy to digital literacy

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Digital Literacy is a contested term whose meaning has expanded far beyond Paul Gilster's 1997 definition as an ability to understand and use information when it is presented via computers. It is not just an awareness of digital media, or e-safety, or an easily encapsulated set of competencies. What if we considered digital literacy more like traditional literacy? What if it could encompass media, software and hardware in a more unified way?
