Media and Information Literacy Competences in the Workplace: Collaborative Practices and Workers' Empowerment

Published: 13 November 2016 Publication History

Abstract

Technology-supported collaborative practices have become widespread in the workplace. Our research investigates how information and media literacy competences support teamwork dynamics, how the team's activities fosters the development of its members' competences and how can this process be a lever for the workers' empowerment. This research is aimed at mapping and defining the competences called for and developed by ICT-supported teamwork and distance work, from the point of view of office workers. The main findings will consist in a definition of the competences related to the informational, technical and social dimensions of distant teamwork practices in a digital era.
