Description (short summary):
This issue of eLearning Papers covers the challenge of redefining the set of competencies ('iteracie') that are required with the emergence of what has been identified as the Knowledge Society, and its relation with learning paradigms. Digital literacy, the only 'horizontal' of the Key Competences for Life Long Learning defined at European level together with the 'Learning to Learn' competence, has a crucial role in that context.

The five papers included in this collection investigate the matter from various angles, like the challenges posed by digital literacy to personal identity in third age, the case of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), t-learning ('the fruition of interactive training materials, contents and services using a digital decode'), e-tivities that use Internet tools for teaching Personal Knowledge Management skills (PKM) to adult learners, and a presentation of the SPreaD project, which develops toolkits for the management of digital literacy projects.

eLearning Papers are a series published by the elearningeuropa.info portal, an initiative of the European Commission Directorate-General for Education and Culture that promotes the use of ICT for lifelong learning.
