N2 - This paper begins by presenting an overview of research relating to literacy, and then focuses on attempts to connect digital and new literacies to more traditional notions of literacy. Next it investigates the tensions and complexities underlying the concept of digital literacy through a summary overview of a range of definitions and applications of the term, as well as related terms such as Internet literacies, new media literacies, multi-literacies, information literacy, ICT literacies, and computer literacy. This includes tracing the evolution of such terminology over time.
