In the Nordic Journal of Digital Literacy (Jubileumsnummer/2015). Open access .
- Digital Literacy and Digital Literacies: - Policy, Pedagogy and Research Considerations for Education by Colin Lankshear and Michele Knobel
- Educating the Digital Generation - Exploring Media Literacy for the 21st Century by Ola Erstad
- Digital Literacy in Upper Secondary School – What Do Students Use Their Laptops for During Teacher Instruction? by Marte Blikstad-Balas
- Challenging educational expectations of the social web: a web 2.0 far? by Neil Selwyn. A quote from this: "For all its intuitive appeal, the widespread valorisation of informal learning and the individualised learner with current understandings of the social web in education dangerously depoliticises the act of learning (Gorman 2007). Such arguments present an overly simplistic view of successful education as relying merely on groups of like-minded disembodied individuals, whilst failing to consider the wider social, economic, political and cultural contexts of the societal act of schooling."
