Call for Proposals

Teaching Digital Literacy:

A Faculty Guide to Integrating Digital Skills with Disciplinary Content


Proposals are now being sought for an edited collection entitled 
Teaching Digital Literacy: A Faculty Guide to Integrating Digital Skills 
with Disciplinary Content. This book will discuss how digital literacy 
is taught throughout the academy. Digital literacy is often a focus of 
professionals with specific expertise in the area (educational 
technologists, instructional designers, librarians). However, digital 
literacy is also embedded in the disciplines as a way to teach students 
more about the intersection between technology and literacy within a 
content area. In this book, we will explore how digital literacy is 
taught in a variety of disciplines, and highlight innovative pedagogical 
approaches for teaching digital literacy in the academy. The book is 
scheduled to be published by Stylus Publishing in 2021.


We welcome chapters of 3,000-4,000 words including references, captions, 
notes, and tabular information. Each chapter should focus on the 
authors’ approach to teaching digital literacy within their content 
area. Contributed chapters should be practical and example-driven so 
that readers come away with ideas for integrating digital literacy in 
their own courses. Contributions representing specific topics of 
interest include examples of digital literacy embedded and taught in the 
domains of the humanities, social sciences, business, STEM, education, 
and health sciences.
