Digital Literacy

Welcome to the Digital Literacy Project ​

This is an arts based initiative by the UBC A.R.T. & Justice Research Project group, to support the well-being of people in prison. These lessons on digital literacy are designed to be accessible to anyone, regardless of their prior experience.

We have organized the content to be used on our project's tablets. The sections are designed to be read in order, but you can skip ahead if you're already familiar with any of the topics!
