Socio-cultural imbalances and their impact to access to information
Important concepts:
Critical digital literacy actually is based on the concept of critical pedagogy of Paulo Freire. This very concept of critical digital pedagogy actually informs the whole process of critical information literacy.
The whole process of critical digital literacy within the broader process of critical information literacy is actually meant to conscientize the students/concerned audience to the inherent hegemonic power structures within the information resources and inspire them towards interrogating these power structures
So the whole process of critical digital literacy is a self-reflexive process that is ultimately aimed at creation of a democratic and participatory scholarly communication process.
