Figure 2 depicts the three types or levels of e-skills: foundation or entry level tied to
foundation digital literacy; extension where existing ICT skills extend occupational skills or
further enhance digital literacy; and strategic where the user may seek to manage ICT
adoption for a group or deploy high-end ICT skills to the advantage of an organisation,
community or industry. The descriptions for the e-skill levels are provided in Table 1 together
