- 53. Selected principles Information literacy: “a set of abilities requiring individuals to ‘recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information.’” -Association of College and Research Libraries
- 56. Selected principles Computational thinking: “a way of solving problems, designing systems, and understanding human behavior that draws on concepts fundamental to computer science. To flourish in today's world, computational thinking has to be a fundamental part of the way people think and understand the world. “ -Carnegie-Mellon University
- 58. Selected principles Computational thinking “Computational thinking means creating and making use of different levels of abstraction, to understand and solve problems more effectively.“ -Carnegie-Mellon University
- 59. Selected principles Computational thinking “means thinking algorithmically and with the ability to apply mathematical concepts such as induction to develop more efficient, fair, and secure solutions.” Carnegie-Mellon University
- 60. Selected principles At least a glancing familiarity with coding
- 62. Selected principles Active, productive student work “Education should not be about merely learning how to consume; education should be about becoming an active participant in the major communication functions of society. Just as we not only teach students to read, but we also teach them how to write, how to assemble their writings into forms others will want to read, how to speak publicly, etc., in a digital age we need to teach our students how to author and distribute digital works.” -Howard Besser, http://tcla.gseis.ucla.edu/divide/politics/besser.html

Notas do Editor
- The National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education (NITLE) works with a diverse community of liberal arts colleges and universities. This national network is focused on developing a deep understanding of the undergraduate student experience, the impact of the broader technological environment on teaching and learning, and the future of liberal education.
