Blackall reports the importance of "digital literacy" for educaators in Australia. Furthermore, "consideration is given to understandings of digital literacy, the impact of open source software and the place of content within the worldwide rapid publishing and networked learning revolution (Web 2.0)." Blackall suggests a "participatory research action" approach to ignite curiosity about novel models for online education, enhancing digital literacy and promoting networked communities within Australian educational settings.
