Literacy has expanded beyond the ability to read and write print to the ability to seek meaning and express understanding within a range of text, video, images, sounds, animations, and interactive elements online and in apps. Literate practices do not function similarly with print and nonprint resources. Other terms that describe literacy practices that learners need include media literacy, digital literacy, and information literacy.
