Abstract
The fabric of digital literacy learning and the measurement of digital competence in Canadian faculties of education is multi-colored and multi-textured. The threads connecting these digital literacy practices and research are loosely stitched together into a national tapestry, full of holes and imperfections. Yet, just as Canadian singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen suggests, these cracks allow the light to shine through. By reviewing research from across the country, this chapter illuminates distinctive patterns in teaching, learning, and research into digital literacies and digital competencies in faculties of education. Singular threads reveal trends that enhance digital literacy learning and digital competency development. Research into digital readiness, a digital competence profile, and self-study scholarship reveals the patchy nature of measurement of digital literacies in Canadian faculties of education. This chapter concludes with insights into contextual factors that impact teaching and learning in faculties of education in Canada. This chapter illuminates limitations and barriers, the cracks in the development of digital literacies in teacher education programs, which allow individual lights of innovation to shine across this vast and diverse country.
