Digital Literacy Midterm Exam

1. Show and elaborate an example of Digital Literacy associated with your study programme?

Utilizing digital literacy abilities to access and exploit medical services and information is referred
to as digital health literacy, or e-Health literacy. It is described as the capacity to explore for,
comprehend, and evaluate health information from electronic sources and then use that information
to address or resolve a health issue. Digitally literate individuals can look for and use health
services and information online, on their phone, or on a computer. This indicates that they are
capable of using these tools and technology. Also, individuals may determine whether the
knowledge they discover online is appropriate for them. Since the health system offers more
services and information online or electronically, digital health literacy is becoming more crucial.
Apart from that, within the scope of public health, digital literacy is also used and leveraged to
create applications such as the PeduliLindungi application that was invented during the malevolent
pandemic of Covid-19 which is used as data collection for community vaccination.

4. How to counteract HOAX news?

Be cautious of provocative headlines. Typically, hoaxes are written using provocative sensational
headlines, such as pointing the finger at a particular party. The headings may also be taken from
official media news, only tweaked to generate the perception desired by the hoax author.
Afterwards, examine the website address carefully. For information obtained from websites or
including links, check the URL address of the site in question. News that comes from media sites
that have been verified by the Press Council will be easier to hold accountable. After reading a
news story, it is advisable to check the facts. Pay attention to where the news comes from and who
is the source? Pay attention to the balance of news sources. If only one source is available, the
reader cannot get the complete picture. Other things that should be recognised and observed are
the differentiation between factual news and opinion-based news.

Whereas facts are incidents that occurred with witnesses and circumstantial evidence, while
opinions are the thoughts and impressions of the news writer, and thus have a tendency to be
subjective. Check the genuineness and authenticity of the photos. In the age of digital technology,
it is important to recognise that merely the news content but also photographs and videos can be
manipulated. Counterfeit news creators sometimes edit photos to provoke readers. A way to check
the authenticity of a photo is by victimised the Google search engine, by dragging and dropping it
into the Google Images search field. The search results will present similar images found on the
internet so that they can be verified.

5. What concrete work do you do to support digital literacy on the UNNES campus?

As every students know, UNNES has innovated and created various applications to support digital
literacy for its students such as the Unnes Library application which is a website from the campus
that makes it easy for students to access journals both national and international journals. So, as
the students of Universitas Negeri Semarang,, my concrete work in encouraging and supporting
UNNES digital literacy interest is to use all the applications and features provided by the campus.
