Abstract
Digital literacy is an essential requirement for every individual to survive in the digital society. Initiatives have been done to develop a comprehensive digital literacy framework in many countries. These initiatives use different names for the framework including digital literacy, digital competence, digital readiness, and digital intelligence. The paper argues that the use of different names and the inclusion of new elements in the development of digital literacy framework show a dynamic and progressive efforts in the development of more comprehensive and adaptive frameworks to face the challenge of industrial revolution 4.0. Digital literacy movement in Indonesia has been initiated in 2017 by the ministry of communication and information in cooperation with many elements of civil society. This initiative is a good start and should be followed by more systematic efforts to develop a comprehensive and measurable digital literacy framework to improve the quality of digital literacy in Indonesia. This comparative study is part of a bigger study related to the development of a systematic and comprehensive digital literacy framework, which can be used as a guidance for the future development of digital literacy movement in Indonesia.
