Digital Technology Snapshot of the Literacy and Essential Skills Field 2013. Summary Report
Trottier, Vicki
Canadian Literacy and Learning Network
From January to March 2013, "Canadian Literacy and Learning Network" (CLLN) conducted a snapshot to provide information about how digital technology tools are being used in the Literacy and Essential Skills (L/ES) field. The snapshot focused primarily on digital tools and activities that meet the organizational needs of provincial and territorial adult literacy coalitions, but it also reflects the information collected from a variety of Literacy and Essential Skills networks and frontline delivery programs across Canada. In this snapshot, CLLN looked at digital technology as used by two groups with quite different perspectives: support agencies and frontline delivery agencies. Many coalitions and networks do not work directly with learners, and so interviews were also held with a small sample of organizations working directly with learners. All thirteen provincial and territorial coalitions participated, together with two networks, staff from fourteen frontline delivery programs, and one government department. The information provided represents a cross-sectoral snapshot of the use of digital technology in the literacy field. The Questionnaire is included in an appendix.
