The author has counted the various kinds of "literacies" used by educational scholars as titles on papers indexed in the ERIC database 1980-1994. The resulting 197 different literacies are listed and divided into five categories: literacy on a topic (computer literacy), literacy among certain people (prison literacy), literacy for a certain purpose (functional literacy), the ability to handle materials in a certain format in literate ways (Braille literacy) and levels of literacy (basic literacy).
Because Visible Language is the oldest design journal, we support scholars by making PDFs of all back issues available. The full catalog of back issues is now available!
