Identifying information and data needs is a fundamental requirement for a person to be Information and Data Literacy proficient. Managing the data and information gathered is the next step in the process.
The ability to manage data, information and digital content is the capstone of the data literacy process.
Activity: Review the Unit Learning Outcomes
In the modern digital world, a lot of people consider that the term “Information and data literacy” just refers to a person’s ability to use digital environments such as a personal computer, the World Wide Web, sending email and so on. We confirmed, through the previous units, that this is not the case and that “Information and data literacy” is much more than that. On the other hand, this common belief shows how important the skill of managing data, information and digital content in digital environments is, in the context of information and data literacy.
Being capable of proficient, or at least efficient, use of digital environments empowers people to demonstrate the outcomes of any research they have undertaken in a structured and convincing manner as well as the ability to express their opinions in an informed way.
The ability to organise, access and manipulate digital content in a structured environment is an essential component of “Information and data Literacy”.
