Abstract

A Solutions in Action Webcast - View the session archive.

We are living in an Information Age that brings exciting developments in the acquisition and sharing of knowledge and has transformed the job market into one that requires computer skills for the vast majority of jobs. Colleges need to make sure that students (and faculty) acquire the information technology skills they need to succeed in their college careers and beyond.

How do we address these literacies on our own campuses? How can we, as a community, define them and better integrate them into the academic experience?
