Digital Literacy is closely linked with other learning literacies, such as :
Information Literacy
Media Literacy
Visual Literacy
ICT Literacy
In particular Digital Literacy overlaps with and adds to Information Literacy: "knowing when and why you need information, where to find it, and how to evaluate, use and communicate it in an ethical manner." (CILIP)
Both are underpinned by critical thinking and evaluation, and so are essential to helping to develop the skills and attributes needed in today's digital information age.
