Learn about digital literacy: A concept adjacent to other literacies, digital literacy is defined by JISC as "the capabilities which fit someone for living, learning and working in a digital society." In the Digital Design Studio, we see digital literacy as a critical component of the 21st century college education. We hope to promote and support digital literacy within Cleveland State University classrooms. Come join the conversation!
