Digital Literacy

The ability to effectively and critically use digital technologies for information access, communication, content creation, and problem-solving. Digital literacy for people with vision impairments encompasses proficiency with screen readers, keyboard navigation, accessible applications, and increasingly, AI-powered tools. Research with TVIs in India reveals significant digital literacy gaps — some teachers received their first smartphone only recently through NGO programs, and many struggle with basic digital tasks like login processes and app navigation. Building digital literacy is a prerequisite for GenAI adoption, yet training opportunities remain scarce and fragmented.
