Literacy

My journey in e-learning was rejuvenated last night when I read Peter Drucker's chapter on the Accountable School in Post-Capitalist Society (1993). He described several specifications of the school or organization that will prepare knowledge workers for the post-capitalist society. Among the specifications, universal literacy of a very high order -- well beyond what "literacy" means today was listed as the first priority.

I'm going to look into Tony Karrer's effort on Work Literacy and try to find a message I heard from James Paul Gee about Media Literacy back at the 2006 Games, Learning, and Society conference.

I want to follow-up on this topic specifically and the other specifications Drucker outlined as I believe these can help make my doctoral experience more relevant to me.

Do you have good resources on this topic of high order universal literacy you can share? I'm interested in what other folks are reading related to this.
