The CREATE Adult Skills Network (the Network) research teams are developing technology-supported learning and assessment tools and implementing curricula to help adult learners build digital skills.

To that end, this Network Brief will introduce several widely used and relevant digital literacy frameworks and assessment strategies used in adult education.
The brief provides high-level descriptions of the following frameworks:
Northstar Digital Literacy standards
