Literacy, Learning, Communities and Digital Technologies: Why theorizing what we do and how we think about things is a good idea
Abstract
A range of pundits in the past few years have argued that theory is dead and no longer useful. In this paper I argue instead that now, more than ever, good theory can be put to good use in better understanding digital technologies and learning. The development of “new literacies”–as a new way of looking at and thinking about literacy, learning and digital technologies–will be used to illustrate how theory can helpfully inform how we think about literacy in general and within specific academic domains, what we take “learning” to be, how we think about and approach online communities, and how we can meaningfully take up digital technologies in higher education learning spaces.
