Web Literacy, Web Literacies or Just Literacies on the Web? Reflections from a Study of Personal Homepages.

Karlsson, Anna-Malin

Reading Matrix: An International Online Journal, v2 n2 Jun 2002

Discusses the question of whether there is such a thing as web literacy. Perspectives from media studies, literacy studies, and the study of multimodal texts are used to find the main contextual parameters involved in what might be classed as web literacy. The parameters suggested are material conditions, domain, power or ideology, and semiotic mode. (Author/VWL)
