Abstract
Based on the analyses conducted in the LITME@WORK project we will now turn to the question of how digital media literacy (DML) can be further integrated in team and distance work structures and practices in order to support effective, stimulating and meaningful ways of working. In this chapter, we therefore provide a range of recommendations for policy and practice. The recommendations formulated here are in the first instance meant for those who seek to foster DML at work – no matter whether they inscribe themselves in a classic celebratory NWOW discourse or not. These recommendations are: 1) treat competences as abilities to perform particular practices rather than abstract values; 2) use the DML matrix in a reflexive way; 3) (re)consider the organizational design of teams as a strategic factor for organizations; 4) acknowledge the value of articulation work in hiring and career development; 5) focus the team leader’s role on facilitating a shared understanding of teamwork and supporting distributed articulation work; 6) re-design training and evaluation initiatives beyond individual practices, operational skills and digital tools; 7) integrate the development of DML in a more balanced discourse about organizational change.
