Digital and Information Literacy
Summary
Being digitally literate is a key factor to achieve success. Being a citizen with skills in digital literacy is essential. Nowadays we are online like 24/7. However, the fact that everything can be shared online carries some risk - both for users and for authors. Cases of theft and plagiarism may be more frequent. Therefore, having the ability and insight to achieve search and select the most credible information is a requirement and an essential skill in a networked society. In this Workshop we will discuss the concepts of digital literacy and information literacy as key competences in a networked society. A trip field to the campus Libraries is planned.
Keywords: digital literacy, information literacy, networked society, lifelong learning.
