Literacies, Transliteracy, Metaliteracy. Some of the language
contributions included herein even compriseboth information and
media literacy resources, and sometimes even the newer MIL
concept.
The terms media literacy and information literacy could not always
be easily compared and contrasted as between the endeavors of
researchers and teachers in different regions. In the Russian
Federation, for example, media education and information
education have evolved largely as separate disciplines, and taught
and learned in quite different educational and everyday life
contexts, following different research methodologies, and have
gone in different directions, or as sometimes phrased “evolved on
different “tracks.” That is in part because the concepts of
information culture and the concept of media in the Russian
Federation and France, for example, are quite different from that
practiced in anglophone countries.
