Digital literacy is a powerful subject, which supports inclusivity, social mobility and digital citizenship globally. This book brings together thought-leaders and experts in the field, providing a blend of research and practice across sectors, and provides a valuable and timely insight into digital literacy and learning.
Digital Literacy Unpacked not only offers a snapshot of innovative approaches to digital literacy, but also intends to provoke discussion, encourage collaboration and inspire - whatever the role or context. The editors open up the whole area of digital literacy in all its kaleidoscopic richness, and provide diverse perspectives, content and ideas to inform thinking and practice.
The cross-sectoral and global significance of digital literacy is a key theme of the book. Digital literacy is relevant to higher education, further education, schools, children, and the workplace - but crucially at its heart it is a citizenship and inclusion issue, necessary for the full participation and achievement of all in society.
Content covered includes:
a discussion of terminology, institutional approaches, and existing frameworks
digital literacy in learning and teaching
copyright literacy
teaching the use of digital tools and curriculum design
critical approaches to literacy
combatting social exclusion using digital skills.
The book will be useful reading for library and information professionals across the sector (higher education, schools, business/corporate, special, public), institutional leaders and managers, and LIS students. It will also be useful reading for educational technologists, learning and teaching professionals.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'The target audience seems to be primarily librarians, but I would argue that this book might be useful to those outside the discipline as well. With the emphasis on collaboration and relationship building, instructors could read and benefit from some of the case studies included and find willing partners in their libraries.' -- Faith A. Rusk * The International Journal of Information, Diversity and Inclusion * 'An exceptionally informative collection of contributed articles and essays by experts in the field, Digital Literacy Unpacked is a critically important addition to corporate, governmental, academic, and community library information technology collections and supplemental studies reading lists.'- Susan Bethany, Midwest Book Review * Midwest Book Review * 'After reading this book, I wonder if the challenge to define digital literacy and where it fits alongside information literacy, media literacy and academic literacy is, in fact, necessary, because digital literacy could be the overarching concept for all the others. See if you agree. Highly recommended.'- Daniel Giddens, William Angliss Institute Learning Resource Centre, Journal of the Australian Library and Information Association * Journal of the Australian Library and Information Assocation *
