Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>I developed a\u00a0Digital Media Arts program<\/a> to provide adult students, many of whom are recent immigrants, with opportunities to participate as digital citizens within the global networked society. The main goals of the program include the provision of a stable learning platform upon which to build the digital literacy skills required for 21st<\/sup> century workplace and learning, as well as the integration of social media and web 2.0 tools.\u00a0 According to Tu and Bloche(2008), these tools enhance mediated knowledge creation, provide for information sharing opportunities in personalized environments for collaboration and content creation.\u00a0 The Digital Media Arts program goes beyond the traditional goals of skill transfer based on media arts production.\u00a0 Rather, it is designed to the develop skills and provide opportunities for self-expression and a more reflective use and understanding of media, or critical literacy and media creation as described by Buckingham(2007).<\/p>\n
