Due to the lack of empirical data arguing the effectiveness of information and communication technology (ICT) and media literacy education at Japanese secondary schools, there is a need to build these essential skills at university. This presentation begins by discussing the current state of ICT and media literacy education in Japan. It then outlines a media literacy course designed at a small private university in Japan based on a needs analysis survey.
