Discover Online Integrated Information Technology (DOI2T, pronounced "Do-Eye-Tea") is a solution to the need for exciting and quick digital literacy learning opportunities for adults, something that the field of Adult Literacy and Basic Skills in Ontario (LBS) has been missing. DOI2T practitioners utilize creativity-based digital technologies to teach learners everyday life skills and practical skills needed for a growing number of contemporary jobs. For example, a two-hour Cricut design session teaches learners skills like measurement, project planning, general computer usage, how to extract information from websites and videos, software navigation, computer-assisted design, time management, budgeting, digital hardware manipulation, and a wealth of troubleshooting skills.
