Course Introduction

Digital literacy is a ‘life skill’ in which individuals develop skills and abilities, using digital tools appropriately to locate, evaluate, analyze, synthesize and construct new knowledge, communicate and interact with others in a creative and transformative way.

According to the bibliography, DL is a multidimensional literacy that involves a technical/ operational dimension which refers to mechanical and practical skills; a cognitive dimension related to Information literacy skills and content creation skills; and a social-emotional dimension which focuses on an individual’s development to communicate with others and enable social action.
