Metaliteracy is based on a core set of goals and objectives that encompass the four learning domains: affective, behavioral, cognitive, and metacognitive. Each broad goal includes learning objectives that address the knowledge, actions, awareness of emotions, and reflective practices central to developing as a metaliterate learner.
The original Metaliteracy Goals and Learning Objectives were developed in 2014 and revised in 2018 to address the growing prevalence of disturbing behaviors and norms in the information environment. The 2025 revision responds to the emergence of generative AI and continuing challenges related to mis- and disinformation. It also reduces the number of objectives to reinforce the evolving and adaptable nature of metaliteracy.
The 2025 version, along with the 2018 and 2014 versions, is available below. Links to translations of the 2025 and 2018 documents are also provided.
Collectively, these goals and learning objectives provide a flexible foundation for applying metaliteracy while supporting the continuing development of metaliterate learners.

I really like the direction your research is taking the field. These learning objectives are moving closer to an epistemology that can ground literacy instruction in the scholarly foundation we need. Well done.
LO #4 under Goal #3 needs clarification. I’m not entirely sure what is meant by “understand the potential impact of online tools.” Tools for online collaboration?
Thank you, Nancy, for letting us know this is unclear. We will be discussing it and considering possible revision
We understand the point you are making. Since this item is under goal 3, “Share information and collaborate in a variety of participatory environments,” this is the context we had in mind. Would changing the phrase to “understand the potential impact of online tools in order to facilitate sharing and collaboration” clarify this?
A little bit. I wonder if you could give examples of “online tools” as you did in LO #3 with “information formats.” Or are they they same? Also, does “potential impact” refer to the potential reception and dissemination of information transmitted via these tools?

Nancy, we made a change to this item (which is now LO #6 under Goal 3) based on your feedback, providing examples that we hope will clarify the LO. Yes, your interpretation of potential impact is what we had in mind.
