- Abstract
- This study investigated the representation of digital literacy within the curricula of 128 iSchools across North America, Europe/Africa, and Asia-Pacific regions. By conducting a keyword analysis of course titles and descriptions, the study identified predominant emphases on technical literacy and information literacy, with emerging trends in artificial intelligence and digital technologies. However, notable gaps remained in critical areas such as digital citizenship, media literacy, and the ethical implications of digital engagement. Regional differences in curriculum coverage were also observed, with North American iSchools offering a more comprehensive range of digital literacy-related courses compared to their Europe-an/African and Asia Pacific counterparts. These findings highlighted the need for a more integrated approach to digital literacy education, addressing the evolving sociotechnical landscape. This study provides a foundational analysis of digital literacy education in iSchools, uncovering the need for a more holistic approach to curriculum development.
