New Literacies Collaborative
The New Literacies Collaborative (NLC) is comprised of a multi-disciplinary team of researchers and educators who promote research, professional development, and global connections around new literacies. New literacies emerge from the theoretical and practical intersection of literacy, evolving technologies, and media. Research is being conducted in the areas of online comprehension and navigation, Web 2.0 tools, and game-based literacies and how these areas are changing student learning and teacher education in the 21st century.
