We live in a rapidly changing world where technology shapes how we work, communicate, shop, learn, and connect with each other. For both educators and learners, digital literacy is no longer optional — it is foundational to participation, wellbeing, and success in education and beyond.
In the 2023 PIAAC Survey of Adult Skills (New Zealand), 29% of adults scored at or below Level 1 in adaptive problem-solving skills — a category that includes essential digital capabilities. This suggests nearly one-third of adults in Aotearoa may face challenges using digital tools to navigate daily life and learning.
Supporting learners’ digital literacy is key to fostering digital inclusion and equity, as well as building critical and creative thinking skills for a digital future.
These resources cover how to increase digital literacy, using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and GenAI tools, and how to create flexible online learning experiences.
