This paper addresses the concept of technological literacy and its increasing importance in the trend towards flexible and technologically mediated learning environments in higher education. The paper reports on a two year Technological Literacy Project currently underway at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). The project aims to assist academic staff ìinfuseî the teaching of technological literacies into their units, through the development of a range of appropriate web-based resources and strategies. The project complements key teaching and learning objectives at QUT, such as increasing flexible delivery options, by looking at ways in which the necessary skills and understandings which underpin these initiatives, can be embedded into mainstream practice.
