About

This podcast is part of the course "Digital Literacies and 21st Century Skills" at Adelphi University's Educational Technology program. In it, students develop a conception of “digital literacy” as a multifaceted, social process of decoding audio and visual symbols and signals, gain a familiarity with a range of research perspectives which engage with digital literacy, understand the affordances of a range of media, and these features’ implications for literacy, confront and assess their own preconceived ideas about literacy and technology skills and how learners acquire them, create a variety of digital texts to communicate in different genres and for multiple purposes, and articulate the cultural and political implications of communication, with attention to concerns of power and equity online and in classrooms.
