Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

The 3E framework assists teachers with the practical implementation of technology in their classes. It is based on a continuum which includes the following elements:

1. Enhance - Adopting technology in simple and effective ways to actively support students and increase their activity and self-responsibility
2. Extend - Further use of technology that facilitates key aspects of student’s individual and collaborative learning and assessment through increasing their choice and control
3. Empower - Developed use of technology that requires higher order individual and collaborative learning that reflects how knowledge is created and used in the professional environment

The examples provided in the U of S version of the 3E learning technologies framework include the six key components of our digital information literacy initiative.
