Digital LiteracyÂ
The digital literacy capability encompasses the interrelated knowledge, skills and understanding students need in order to access and contribute to the world around them.
This capability develops a student’s understanding and awareness of the role of technology in society. Alongside encouraging students to develop their own digital identity in a socially responsible way, the capability enables students to be informed about the ethical aspects of the use of different technologies.
Students are supported to develop skills to connect, communicate and collaborate with others effectively and safely in a digital environment and to gather, analyse and evaluate digital information as a part of learning.
