What is Digital Literacy?

What is Digital Literacy?

Our Organisation is a digital organisation

Our products all require digital workflow and delivery. We need to be Digitally Literate to be efficient and effective.

Just being able to type fast is a small part of our daily work. Just being able to use Word, Excel, Outlook effectively is a small part.

Why do I need to be Digitally Literate?

We need to:

  • be able to describe what we need our IT Systems and Application to do and why – not just be passive users.

  • be able to find information, files, documents, images, discussion efficiently and accurately.

  • be able to interact effectively within the WTM and Outside using digital technologies.

  • be able to create and edit digital content.

  • know how to protect the information, content, personal data and privacy in our environment.

  • be able to identify problems and issues.

  • have the ability to resolve issues ourselves.

  • This is mostly just a mind shift in how we use the tools.

Information and data literacy

  • To articulate information needs, to locate and retrieve digital data, information and content.
