Index  Digital Literacy in Higher Education  Threefold Definition of Digital Literacy  The Participants  Access to ICT  Operational Competences  Conceptual Skills  Technology and Learning  Concluding Remarks

Digital Literacy in Higher Education  "Being void of digital…literacy is akin to being handicapped" (Jones & Flannigan, 2006)  Digital proficiency impacts the students’ experience in digital contexts  Digital literacy is an asset for students:  It assists their full engagement in a society growingly dominated by digital contexts  Provides social, cultural and professional benefits  The need for digital skills has been widely recognised, but their generic nature hinders their development
