New Literacy Themes.

1. Literacies and Discourses. Widening our understanding of literacy to respond to multi-modal communication and rapid changes in media, modes and communication.

2. Co-evolution of literacy and technology. Widening our understanding of socio-technical processes to address ideas of technology-enhanced learning and examination of emergent, perhaps unexpected configurations of learning, context and technology.

3. Expansive Learning. Widening our understanding of learning production to include new and emergent knowledge and identities, and our understanding of roles in learning production.

4. Mobility and Ubiquity. Widening our understanding of the implications and impacts of learning in different sites and sectors, and how these combine as a whole to promote literacy in a knowledge society engaged in ubiquitous learning.

5. Analytics. Widening the feedback, evaluation and assessment of learning and learning processes by defining, validating and creating infrastructures for enhanced data collection and presentation.
