Ability to read and write web content
Web literacy encompasses the skills and competencies needed for reading, writing, and participating on the World Wide Web.[1] It has been described as “both content and activity” meaning that web users should not just learn about the web but also about how to make their own website.[2]
In the late 1990s, literacy researchers began to explore the differences between printed text and network-enabled devices with screens. This research was largely focused on two areas: the credibility of information that can be found on the World Wide Web[3] and the difference that hypertext makes to reading and writing.[4] These skills were included in definitions of information literacy and included in a SCONUL position paper in 1999.[5] This paper became the ‘7 Pillars of Information Literacy’, which was last updated in 2011.[6][as of?]
