What We Do
Digital media literacy is the ability to critically, effectively and responsibly access, use, understand and engage with media of all kinds.
Our work falls into three main areas: research and evaluation, education, and awareness and outreach.
Our research-to-resource model:
Research and evaluation – We conduct and disseminate original research that informs our resource development and policy issues related to all media.
Education - We create free, bilingual educational resources for educators, parents/guardians, and the general public, and provide internationally-regarded digital media literacy expertise.
Awareness and outreach - We work in partnership with organizations to advance digital media literacy in Canada and elsewhere. Learn how to get involved with our work.
