4. Digital literacies
During this unit we will explore together important literacies to survive
and thrive in the digital age as learners and educators. Accessing,
filtering, critically evaluating information in vast networks, repositories and
digital libraries as well as connecting with individuals and groups via social
networks and make use for learning and teaching is a complex process and
requires specific skills, attitudes and behaviours which become increasingly
more important for individuals and society.
We will also investigate the transition from digital consumer of information to
producer and co-creator and contributor of new information, knowledge co-
construction in the digital world and reflect on our digital presence and
identity, experiences through consumption, communication, collaboration
and creation, as learners and educators.

9. Digital literacies defines those who exhibit
a critical understanding and capability for
living, learning, and working in the digital
society. Kerrigan and Walker, 2013
18. How much is our digital literacies
determined by our social,
economical and cultural
background?
19. “To possess the machines,
[they] only need economic
capital; to appropriate them
and use them in
accordance with their
specific purpose [they]
must have access to
embodied cultural capital,
either in person or by
proxy”
Pierre
Bourdieu
20. What role should the institution
have in cultivating cultural
capital in a world mediated by
technology?
28. Changing nature of
identity (fluid
identity), self-identity
including self-
reflexivity and
creating biographical
narratives (project of
the self) as an
inescapable issue in
post-traditional
societies
A. Giddens, 2002
29. Identity expression in
digital media is part of
community
involvement, which in
itself provides
strong incentives for
creative expression and
active
participation in
terms of “participatory
culture” H. Jenkins, 2006
30. Networked
identities
a continuous process of
(re)presentation and
(re)negotiation of the self
