information fluency
Information fluency is about interpreting information unconsciously and intuitively so that we are able to extract knowledge, interpret its meaning and significance
solution fluency
Solution fluency is about problem solving – solving a problem presented to us through an intuitive process. It requires the ability to interpret information and extract knowledge so that we are able to find a solution to the problem
media fluency
Media fluency is actually two-fold, the first involves the interpretation (listening) of the media; the second, involves how we leverage this for our own output (communication).
This fluency involves both the communication aspect, as well as the literacy. We cannot produce something without knowing how to use the technology, but we cannot leverage the message without understanding this. Therefore, there may be some repetition between the two units.
Crockett, Jukes and Churches (2011:58) believe that media fluency means being a “‘prosumer’ – an effective consumer and producer of digital content”. The first part of this process is explained in this unit, whereas the Leverage process is explained in communication
collaboration fluency
All over the world there are people who are communicating and working together…yet they may never meet face to face! The reality is with today’s technology, distance has become a concept that is relative. The authors of the book “Literacy is not enough” (Jukes, Churches, Crockett, 2011) worked on an entire project without ever meeting face-to-face until after the completion thereof! So how did they do it? Well, they had already mastered the skill of collaboration as well as being digitally literate. In this section we will look at the steps involved with the process.

Intelligence levels have traditionally only been measured in terms of math based thinking and linguistic skills. However, there are actually several levels of IQ. Gardner (1983) came up with the following
Visual-Spatial These people are good at solving puzzles, love reading, are good with directions and map/ chart work, enjoy drawing and painting and recognise patterns easily.
Linguistic - Verbal These people are good with words, both written and spoken, they are good at remembering written and spoken information, enjoys reading and writing, good at debating and explaining things. They often use humour in their storytelling.
Logical – Mathematical People that score high in this section are good at analysing problems and mathematical operations, they enjoy thinking about abstract ideas, conducting scientific experiments and working with complex computations
Bodily – Kinaesthetic Those that have a high score in this area are good at body movement, actions and control. They are good at dancing, sports, creating with their hands and physical coordination. They remember things best by doing, rather than hearing or seeing
Musical These people think in patterns, rhythms and sounds. They enjoy singing and playing musical instruments, and are quick to recognise a musical pattern and tones. They have a deep understanding of musical structure, notes and rhythms and are able to remember songs and melodies quite easily
Interpersonal People in this section have a good understanding of other people and relate well with them. They are good at communicating and very skilled at the non-verbal cues. They have an ability to see things from different perspectives and create positive relationships with others. They are also good at resolving conflict.
Intrapersonal (often referred to as EQ – Emotional Quotient) These individuals are good at introspection and self- reflection, as well as being aware of their own emotional state and motivations. They tend to enjoy analysing theories and ideas, and have clear understanding of themselves
Naturalistic This is the most recent addition to Gardner’s theory and is probably the most controversial. Those that score high in this are those that are very in tune with nature want to learn about other species and explore environments. They are often highly aware of subtle changes within their own environments.
