Managing Online Information

N00b

I can explain why using various additional tools can refine my searches more effectively (e.g. search filters: size, type, usage rights etc.).

I can explain how online content published by an individual can be interpreted differently by others.

I can explain how ‘liking’, ‘sharing’ or ‘forwarding’ online content can change people’s opinions of someone (e.g. contribute to or damage their online reputation).

I can explain how ‘online marketplaces’ can enable small businesses or individuals to do business on a wider / global scale.

I can assess the benefits and limitations of online commerce.

Veteran

I can navigate online content, websites or social media feeds using more sophisticated tools to get to the information I want (e.g. menus, sitemaps, breadcrumb-trails, site search functions).

I can refine search phrases with additional functions (e.g. +, AND, “ “, NOT, * wildcard).

I can explain how search engine rankings are returned and can explain how they can be influenced (e.g. commerce, sponsored results). I can use a range of features to quality assure the content I access online (e.g. hits, likes, comments).

I can analyse and evaluate the reliability and validity of online information based on content as well as appearance.

I can explain why accurate information can be used in a false context to deliberately be used selectively to disinform.

I can explain that whilst ‘everyone is entitled to their opinion’ not all opinions are equally credible or morally defensible (and some may be restricted from public expression e.g. those that encourage racial or religious hatred).

Oracle

I can explain and recognise how social media can amplify, weaken or distort the apparent strength, validity, or popularity of sometimes extreme ideas, beliefs or opinions, (e.g. an ‘echo-chamber’).

I can understand that individuals and organisations can be impersonated to deliberately mislead. I can explain how activity on social media may be contributed by ‘social bots’.

I can explain Deepfake Technology and why this may be dangerous (e.g. for individuals and the democratic process).

I can explain how accusations of ‘fake news’ can be used to discredit the accurate reporting of real events.
