De Werkgroep Onderzoek Didactiek Nederlands (WODN) publiceert online het Handboek Vakdidactiek Nederlands. Ik schrijf daarin over Digitale geletterdheid en het vak Nederlands.

Deel 2 is op 25-01-2022 verschenen als Digitale geletterdheid (deel 2): Strategisch lezen en Zoekvaardigheden online en is hier online beschikbaar. 

Deel 1 is op 24-01-2021 verschenen als: Digitale geletterdheid (deel 1): een uitdaging voor het (taal)onderwijs en is hier online beschikbaar.
