Abstract

This paper takes a preliminary look at an emerging dominant literacy, IT literacy, and its potential impact on some members of the communities within which it is becoming dominant. Drawing on the perception of literacy as social practice, the paper locates organisational processes within institutions as belonging to a specific social practice and explores the pattern of dominance of IT literacy that is beginning to emerge within this practice. From analysis of interview and survey data, the study conducted a preliminary exploration of the views of staff within one organisation on the impact of this new dominant literacy. Some of the emergent views elicit the notions of exclusion, inadequacies, and imposition. I draw on this study in this talk to challenge us to think about how we respond to this imminent situation.
