At the moment in a kingdom of cultural transition, worldwide society is relocating from a literary society to electronic one, adopting common use of complex applied sciences similar to the net and cellular units. electronic media has a unprecedented impression on society s formative methods, forcing a realistic shift of their administration and association.
Digital Literacy: instruments and Methodologies for info Society strives to outline a conceptual framework for figuring out social alterations produced through electronic media and creates a framework in which electronic literacy acts as a device to help more youthful generations to engage seriously with electronic media and their tradition, delivering students, educators, researchers, and practitioners a technological and sociological method of this state of the art subject from a tutorial perspective.

Rivoltella actions according to “light” models, consistent with work time and tasks. So in these last years, the boom in education consisted of the boom in online and mobile education, almost following the logic of identification. 5 billion of investments only in the United States: learning economy is actually an e-learning economy and probably it could become a m-learning economy thanks to the diffusion of broad band wireless systems, connected palms, forth generation smart phones. We have to mark that this is an anomalous economy where knowledge is a particular good, and anomalous is also the market in which it is moved.
Concretely, the single ideas we have quickly described can differently refer to the three structural aspects of globalization: • The placement in a planetary arena (internationalization, mondialization) • The organization on a global scale (transnationalization) • The reciprocity and interdependence (interculturality) These dimensions, as easily evident, are perfectly recognizable in the processes relating to new economy: the planetary market configuration, the partnership logic, and the virtuality of the systems of services production/distribution, the systemic quality of relation forms (something that implies the reversibility of every connection and the co-implication of every element of the system within the transformation processes concerning all the other elements).
Speed, for instance, comprises always greater possibilities to circulate ideas and knowledges that, on the contrary, would remain local, while virtuality supports the possibility of making a mediate experience of things with no need to move. The main consequence is represented by the origin of new connections point-to-point within the world-system, as properly explained by Mattelart (1996, p. 9): Progressively extending circulation possibilities, linked both to people and material and symbolic goods, mass media has increased the inclusion of specific societies within wider groups, continuously moving physical, intellectual, and mental borders.
