It identifies the distance or deficit between the community’s current access to digital literacy education, appropriately defined, and its digital environment, needs and opportunities. Finally, the paper provides a brief agenda for further empirical research.Published: 7 March 2018Citation: Research in Learning Technology 2018, 26: 1983 - http://dx.doi.org/10.25304/rlt.v26.1983 ER -
