Abstract
Digitalisation affects all areas of our private and professional lives, posing new requirements to cope with new technologies and the possibilities they offer. New competences are needed for mastering these challenges. Consequently, digital transition affects learning substantially. One of the competences that gain increasing importance through digital transition is media literacy. This paper tries to answer the question of how we can devise learning settings that foster media literacy in higher education. It does so by analyzing media literacy itself on the one hand, and learning settings in higher education which address media literacy on the other hand. Key findings are that media literacy is not precisely characterized yet and that learning settings often do not address media literacy as a main competence goal. To that end, recommendations for developing suitable competence-oriented learning settings in media literacy education at universities are given.
