This chapter introduces the book that present the results of the LITME@WORK project. LITME@WORK asked the following research questions: (1) how is digital media literacy (DML) addressed and practiced in today's office work and (2) how can DML be further integrated in emerging distance teamwork structures and practices in order to support effective, stimulating and meaningful ways of working. Starting from these questions, LITME@WORK has pursued four objectives: (i) to understand changing work environments and their DML requirements, (ii) to develop a systemic approach to DML in office distance teamwork, (iii) to provide resources for societal and policy stakeholders, and (iv) to contribute to research efforts in relevant fields of research. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/published

Based on the analyses conducted in the LITME@WORK project we will now turn to the question of how digital media literacy (DML) can be further integrated in team and distance work structures and practices in order to support effective, stimulating and meaningful ways of working. In this chapter, we therefore provide a range of recommendations for policy and practice. The recommendations formulated here are in the first instance meant for those who seek to foster DML at work – no matter whether they inscribe themselves in a classic celebratory NWOW discourse or not. These recommendations are: 1) treat competences as abilities to perform particular practices rather than abstract values; 2) use the DML matrix in a reflexive way; 3) (re)consider the organizational design of teams as a strategic factor for organizations; 4) acknowledge the value of articulation work in hiring and career development; 5) focus the team leader's role on facilitating a shared understanding of teamwork and supporting distributed articulation work; 6) re-design training and evaluation initiatives beyond individual practices, operational skills and digital tools; 7) integrate the development of DML in a more balanced discourse about organizational change. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/published

In this chapter we address key organizational dimensions and challenges for digital media literacy (DML) in collaborative and distance work. Starting from the insights developed in the LITME@WORK project from a variety of research approaches on DML in collaborative and distance work, we build bridges between the different chapters that cover the following themes: (1) digital media competences in collaborative and distance work; (2) the concept of "newness" in discussions of DML and new ways of working (NWOW); (3) DML as a social construct; (4) implications of collaborative and distance work for well-being; (5) the issue of digital (social) inclusion; (6) the role of technology; and (7) management in team- and distance work. These issues were selected on the basis of their salience in contemporary debates on office work and their relevance for the different theoretical and empirical approaches applied in the project. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/published
