New Technologies for Literacy and Adult Education: A Global Perspective, Daniel A. Wagner and Robert Kozma--This report from the International Literacy Institute and National Center on Adult Literacy, presents a lucid and cogent argument for the broadening of the definition of literacy to include both basic skills (reading and writing) and advanced skills (information literacy). In examining this expanded definition, the authors see two potential ways that information and communications technology (ICT) can impact literacy. The first is to use ICT as a tool to deliver instruction and assist in the acquisition of basic literacy skills; the second is to incorporate ICT into the definition of literacy: "Beyond traditional skills needed to read and write text, new skills are needed to use technology to search for, organize, and manage information; interpret and analyze data; work with distributed teams; communicate with others; and use information to solve problems and create new knowledge and cultural artifacts . . . ."
