Computerworld honored DigitalLiteracy.org with the international 21st Century Award for being "the most innovative application of IT to extend the distribution of digital information and access to Web-based programs and services to previously underserved populations."
Digital Literacy Best Practice Winners
During visits to Europe and Asia to discuss digital inclusion, Net Literacy saw that many of the challenges and solutions in societies with very different cultures were much more similar than different. How could digital literacy best practices and innovative models be shared with NGOs around the world and help foster an exchange of ideas and conversations to impact underserved population groups: by developing a website to share “best practices” successfully being used by NGOs! After Net Literacy piloted a beta site, we were invited to present DigitalLiteracy.org at iWeek in Johannesburg, South Africa, and then were invited to join the I-Alliance and this service received the support of Internet industry associations representing 270,000 companies on six continents. Computerworld honored Net Literacy with the 21st Century Achievement Award and in late Q4 2016, Net Literacy began expanding this program!
