Literacy and the digital knowledge revolution

Abstract

Although literacy is based on mastering a series of technical and cultural skills, such as reading, writing, numeracy, and media proficiency, these skills do not in themselves amount to literacy. As brought forth more and more by research, literacy is fundamentally situated and determined by the cultural, political, and historical contexts of the communities in which it is activated. However, with the new digital knowledge contexts, within which 21st century skills are being deployed, literacy, and therefore education, is facing a major challenge. The evolving digital technologies are not only transforming the access, they are also fostering new approaches to knowledge, new knowledge architectures, new knowledge ethics, new accountability requirements and assessments. These new emerging issues for education will be described as part of the ongoing digital knowledge revolution.
Ainsi que l'ont montré diverses recherches, la littéracie est fondamentalement située et déterminée par les contextes historiques, politiques et culturels des communautés où elle se développe. Avec les nouveaux contextes numériques, et les nouvelles compétences du 21e siècle, l'éducation doit faire face à un défi majeur. L'évolution des technologies numériques non seulement transforme l'accès à l'information, mais elle favorise de nouvelles approches de la connaissance, de nouvelles architectures, de nouvelles exigences éthiques, et de nouveaux contrats d'usage. Ces nouvelles questions sont explorées en tant qu'elles participent de la révolution numérique en cours.
