Learn in the textbookPromoting and Evaluating System Utilization
DefinitionDigital literacy (デジタルリテラシー) is the ability to understand and make full use of IT tools and data to suit the purpose of work or problem solving.
ExplanationIt is also called information literacy (情報リテラシー) with almost the same meaning, and it covers not only operating devices but also finding the information you need, judging it, and turning it into results. Even after a system is introduced, it will not be put to good use unless the people using it have this ability, so organizations raise it through training and by providing examples to follow. EUC (end-user computing), in which staff in user departments handle data themselves, is also a way of working built on this ability.
AnalogyA kitchen fully stocked with knives and a stove still produces no meal if nobody can cook. Providing the tools and training people to use them are separate jobs.
Memory hookLiteracy originally means the ability to read and write. Think of it as reading and writing, carried over to digital tools.
