Rosen, Newsome Associates  \nThe focus of the Technology Solutions for Adult Basic Skills Challenges column begins with common challenges facing adult basic skills practitioners, expressed, for example, in the LINCS Integrating Technology group for which I am the moderator, in other LINCS groups, in my national and state conference or webinar presentations, or privately in face-to-face discussions or by phone or email. Solutions to these problems, at least in part through the use of technology, include:  \nhardware such as desktop and laptop computers, smartphones, electronic tablets, VR Goggles, and electronic whiteboards; and digital software applications such as websites, course management systems, learning management systems, databases, and apps for mobile devices. Each article begins with a challenge and examines one or more possible technology solutions.  \nIn the technology solutions column of this special issue of Adult Literacy Education, that focuses on Broadening the Lens on Adult Literacy Education Outcomes, I want to challenge our field to expand our view of digital literacy. Of course, basic digital literacy skills must be included, but we have to look beyond to the digital skills and attitudes adults need in order to research their questions; judge the  \nquality of information they have found; and to solve problems at home, work and in their community that require or can benefit from the use of digital skills, comfort, confidence and fluency. These define the digital literacy capacity adults need to solve new problems facing us ina changing society, including the new problems created by ever-changing technology itself.  \nAs adult basic skills researcher, practitioner and administrator Dr. Jen Vanek put it in a January, 2017 PIAAC Commissioned paper,“Using the PIAAC Framework for Problem Solving in Technology-Rich Environments to Guide Instruction: An Introduction for Adult Educators.” [https://bit.ly/2tKVSgf](https://bit.ly/2tKVSgf)  \nThe increasing complexity and number of technology tools in our communities has altered the nature of work, schooling, and daily life. This, and the attendant increased complexity in tasks and problem solving, positions learners (as well as teachers!) as life-long learners. To truly prepare learners to succeed outside the classroom, we need to teach more than academic content. Our instruction must also help learners develop the resilience they need to address future changes. By building a learner’s ability to employ the problem-solving process, we can support their continued learning in a dynamic world.  \nDescription of the Challenge  \nBasic and advanced digital literacy and problem-solving skills are needed for success in postsecondary education, career pathways, work, and daily living and learning throughout our lives, but how can adult basic skills (including ESOL/ESL) programs and schools assess and teach these skills?  \nBasic and advanced adult basic and more advanced digital literacy skills are primarily defined by these three different sets of standards:  \n1.
