“The Web and online reading involve purposeful use of resources on the Web to accomplish specific tasks. In the course of doing so, users are frequently confronted with multiple texts, multiple media, and collaborative communities that introduce consistent but also conflicting information on the same topic. Thus, from both the cognitive and social perspective, it is not that Web-enabled learning-through-reading has introduced new literacies. What is new is that all citizens need to engage in advanced literacy practices and need opportunities to learn them. Thus, the Web and the online resources it makes available are redefining what it means to be literate as a citizen in the 21st century.”
