v0.99 of ‘The Essential Elements of Digital Literacies’ now available! [E-BOOK]

Posted on May 27, 2014June 20, 2014 by Doug Belshaw

I’m delighted to announce that the latest iteration of my e-book The Essential Elements of Digital Literacies is now available. This takes us to v0.99! The text is 99% complete, with only a small appendix to write. I also need to work on some design elements.

Those who invested in previous versions have already received their free update, according to the OpenBeta process I devised (or at least they should have done – ping me if not!)

~~You can invest in v0.99 and then get the update to v1.0 by clicking below:~~

v1.0 is coming on June 27th!

What’s included in this version?

I’d like to thank Liesl Scheepers (South Africa), Vicky Teinaki (New Zealand via Newcastle), and Penny Wheeler (Australia) for their very quick feedback on this iteration. It’s much appreciated.
