Definitions of "Digital literacy" - Deepstash

Definitions of "Digital literacy"

There are two different definitions for digital literacy. 

  1. It is the possession of basic digital skills required to effectively find information online. 
  2. It's asking whether people understand how platforms decide what to show in the newsfeed.

One study found that digital literacy is indeed a good predictor of one's ability to discern accurate information from falsehoods. In addition, both digital literacy measures independently predicted the tendency of participants to rate factual news as more accurate than false news.
