New Literacies Collaborative
The New Literacies Collaborative (NLC) is comprised of a multi-disciplinary team of researchers and educators who promote research, professional development, and global connections around new literacies. New literacies emerge from the theoretical and practical intersection of literacy, evolving technologies, and media. Research is being conducted in the areas of online comprehension and navigation, Web 2.0 tools, and game-based literacies and how these areas are changing student learning and teacher education in the 21st century.

Key North Carolina project partners and funders include the Center for 21st Century Skills, North Carolina Business Committee for Education, and the North Carolina Department for Public Instruction.
Work of the NLC builds on the Friday Institute mission to advance education through innovation in teaching, learning, and leadership. We conduct research, promote professional development opportunities, create resources that support technological experiences and improve new literacies for teaching and learning.
