What is digital literacy in education?

Digital literacy in education is the ability of both students and teachers to find, evaluate, create, and communicate information digitally. Digital literacy in education is particularly important in blended learning contexts.

Some examples of digital literacy in education are:

  • Having classes via video call
  • Writing and submitting essays online
  • Extracting and analyzing data from an LMS
  • Teachers using a Plagiarism Checker to analyze suspicious work

As AI tools become more common in academic settings, digital literacy also includes understanding how content is evaluated. Using tools like QuillBot’s AI Detector can help both students and educators assess whether a piece of writing may be AI-generated, making it easier to uphold academic integrity and address potential issues early.
