The work reported in this article is part of a larger research project in which we seek to define the digital media literacy competences in distant teamwork from the observation of a variety of work contexts in Belgian organizations. The LITME@WORK research project, funded by the Belgian Science Policy Office, proposes an interdisciplinary approach to study DML in teamwork and distance work environments. It combines: 1) a study of the discursive construction of new work competences in the context of NWOW; 2) a study of work organization, workplace design and structural conditions for competence utilization and learning; and 3) a study of the relationship between digital uses and competences in the new work practices of employees through a conceptual framework based on taxonomies of competences. The final analysis of our results will yield an integrated and enriched framework on DML competences, with the input of each of the three components of the LITME@WORK project.

N2 - Digital technology has become ubiquitous in the workplace, shaping so- called “new ways of working (NWOW)”. This digital turn involves changes in workers’ digital media competences. Competences are often linked to ideas of efficiency and performance, but concern issues of inclusion and wellbeing as well. This article introduces a conceptual framework that articulates two models of digital media literacy at work: one based on functional-operational skills that defines the worker as compliant, and the other based on critical-creative competences that defines the worker as inventive. This framework is used in two methodological approaches in order to study how digital media literacy is performed or articulated as compliance and/or inventivity in practices and discourses. The first approach is a connective ethnography including a workplace observation protocol and an interview guide to document employees and managers’ practices. The second one uses critical discourses analysis in order to elucidate how workers’ identities and social relations are constituted by, and constitutive of, digital media literacy discourses at work.
