Hi Michelle, I won’t be able to attend the article club next week. I read the article and wanted to add another short article that spoke more directly to the adult literacy field. It is short so maybe it can be part of the discussion. Smythe: Where is Canada's digital inclusion strategy http://www.policynote.ca/where-is-canadas-digital-inclusion-strategy/Suzanne Smythe has done a lot of work on digital accessibility and adult literacy. 
Enjoy, Audrey

And more:  suggested by Alan Cherwinksi: " ... it helps to talk of digital literacies rather than limit our thinking to a singular all-inclusive definition. " http://blog.ascilite.org/a-critical-review-of-frameworks-for-digital-literacy-beyond-the-flashy-flimsy-and-faddish-part-1/ (edited)
