Digital FluenciesNew skills for a changing academy

With rapid advances in

globally-networked

information

technologies, new types of fluencies are

emerging — especially in the area of scholarly

inquiry.

Fluency implies mastery and effortlessness in acting within a community of practice.

Literacy is essential and emphasizes individual skill. Both are needed.
