According to Knobel & Lankshear the term 'new literacies' has two parts to the definition. The technical part is the use of digital electonic apparatus, e.g. computers, to create multi modal texts using basic software.
The second part is the ethos of new literacies. This has two mindsets, one being the old literate physical world of books and information. The other is the new world of 'collective intelligence', e.g. wikipedia. This is a place where information is gathered, created and exchanged but all in a digital mode.
