Introduction

This short CPD course introduces resources from the Erasmus+ Digital Literacies in Europe (DiLitE) project. It presents a socially situated view of literacy and language and introduces a resource from the DiLitE toolkit that supports practitioners and learners to analyse and understand how different literacies are used in social contexts.  John Sutter presents a series of short films, and then introduces the DiLitE resource.
