Attention Literacy with Alec Couros

I saw an item in my feed reader from Mark Pegrum titled 'Attentional Literacy As A New Literacy' in CJLT, but it just resulted in a link error (so I assume it was from a forthcoming issue? here is the link - good luck). In view of the item on 'feedback literacy' - another new type of literacy - I thought I'd note it anyway. I searched on Google and found a lonely article by Christy I. Wenger with just 1 mention - but it was behind a paywall, so no link here either. I had better luck with preprint by Sarah Hartman-Caverly, who says "Attentional autonomy and attentional literacy are proposed as remedies for the attention engineering effects of learning analytics and other persuasive technologies." It's also mentioned in a blog post by Kay Oddone. But it goes back further; Howard Rheingold mentioned it in a blog post in 2009 (via). And Vesa Kornhonen, citing even earlier writers, talks of "appreciative and attentional literacy which means learning to adopt shared thinking and cognition, creative joint inquiry, collaborative way of working, and also joint democraticresponsibility." So I guess it's a thing (though Pegrum may need to change his title). Image: Buffy Hamilton.
