Digital Literacy in a Digital Age

Executive Summary

The Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship (BII+E) is launching a program of research that will explore digital literacy: what it is, why it is important in a workplace context, and what the current opportunities and gaps are in the landscape of digital skills and education across the country. We believe that it is important to engage users, experts, and other stakeholders in our work early to test our assumptions and link our work to the work of others. This discussion paper is being released to encourage conversation, solicit feedback, and refine our thinking.
