autonomy reflection analysis collaboration
to understand and find what you need
to behave appropriately in different contexts
to interact, share respectfully
in technical terms:
access details and password management, able to explore interface, differentiate between different forms of content, understand relevant widgets, refine and perfect hypotheses,
beg acc student mahara project:
shared access to blank collection, volunteers asked to share resources they find useful to support language learning,
transversal skills - see DeSeCo project http://www.oecd.org/pisa/35070367.pdf
“new digital divide” Brandtzæg et al., 2010 - more nuanced, not binary in disctinctions between individuals
