This report describes a project to explore what digital information literacy is and how it could be most effectively applied in tertiary education. It provides an initial definition of digital information literacy based on a review of the national and international literature. It identifies methods to develop adults' digital skills and capabilities, and to understand how these contribute to lifelong learning. Its key findings are that having dedicated time, support and the opportunity to experiment with a range of [information and communication technology] ICT tools were essential for developing digital information literacy. The research showed that this could be achieved in a relatively short and intensive period of professional development and that this resulted in large changes to participants' digital information behaviour and skills.
