We are excited to share the newest draft of the Metaliteracy Goals and Learning Objectives (2025) with you! Through our collaborative work and plenty of our favorite tea, we’ve revised this document based on the progression of metaliteracy. It also addresses the revolutionary developments in artificial intelligence (AI). This update builds on the 2018 version, addressing the needs of educators and learners in rapidly changing information environments. We would love to hear your feedback! Please take a moment to review the draft. Then share your thoughts in the comment box at the end of that page. Do you find the revised goals and objectives useful? Any suggestions for revision? What did we miss? You may also want to add your thoughts concerning others’ suggestions and comments.

The world is evolving rapidly, especially with advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and the growing concerns around mis- and disinformation. This led us to revisit the original goals and objectives published in 2018. Our aim was to tackle these trends head-on and consider the broader development of the metaliteracy model itself. We wanted a forward-thinking, adaptable approach for educators and learners to thrive in an increasingly complex information environment. This new version prepares learners for the challenges they will face in a world deeply influenced by AI. Metaliteracy’s emphasis on the “learner as producer” is central to the effective and ethical use of new tools and technologies.

As we worked through these revisions, we realized that the 2018 version was out-of -date and overly detailed. We streamlined the document by reducing the number of objectives from 34 to 20, focusing on clarity and purpose. This revision aligns with the evolution of metaliteracy itself and makes the framework more actionable for educators. We believe this new version is more focused and better suited to the needs of today’s learners. It has a sharper focus on critical thinking, self-awareness, and adaptability. We want learners to engage with and critically assess the technologies and influences shaping their world.

We’ve opted for an open comment period instead of a closed survey. This is a transparent process that encourages a collaborative exchange of ideas. We appreciate your thoughts and insights on these revisions, which will help guide the final version of the document.

So now, it’s your turn! We invite you to offer feedback on the draft Metaliteracy Goals and Learning Objectives (2025). What do you think about the revised document? Are there areas that need further refinement? How would these revised goals and objectives support you in teaching with AI? What kinds of assignments would you develop with these new insights? How would you revise existing assignments to apply these changes? The comment period will be open until February 28, 2025. After we analyze all of the feedback, we’ll share the final iteration of the 2025 document via this blog. We greatly appreciate your feedback as we continue to refine and evolve the metaliteracy framework for the future.

Thank you for your ongoing support and for being part of this exciting process! Please leave your comments on the page containing the new draft—let’s continue the conversation!
