University of Utah visual, information and technology literacy task force report and recommendations

Recognizing the critical nature of visual, information, and technology literacy to the foundation of a 21st century education, a VITL Task Force has been convened to explore and expand initiatives at the University of Utah that promote competencies in these literacies. The VITL Task Force worked during the 2008-09 academic year to define these literacies, make connections between these definitions and essential learning outcomes endorsed by the American Association of Colleges and Universities and adopted by the University, and provide findings and a foundation for a strategic framework to enhance and embed VITL in the educational mission of the University.
