DigComp2.2 Self Assessment ALiVE
1.1 Browsing, searching and filtering data, information and digital content
Level A1 | Awareness
I know that some online content in search results may not be open access or freely available and may require a fee or signing up for a service in order to access it.
Level A1 | Awareness
I am aware that online content that is available to users at no monetary cost is often paid for by advertising or by selling the user’s data.
Level B2 | Expertise
I know how to improve search results by using a search engine’s advanced features (e.g. specifying exact phrase, language, region, date last updated).
Level B2 | Expertise
I can develop effective search methods for personal purposes (e.g. to browse a list of most popular films) and professional purposes (e.g. to find appropriate job advertisements).
Level B2 | Expertise
I am aware that search engines, social media and content platforms often use AI algorithms to generate responses that are adapted to the individual user (e.g. users continue to see similar results or content). This is often referred to as “personalisation”. (AI)
Level B2 | Expertise
I can choose the search engine that most likely meets one’s information needs as different search engines can provide different results even for the same query.
Level B2 | Expertise
I intentionally avoid distractions and aim to avoid information overload when accessing and navigating information, data and content.
Level C1 | Leadership
I am aware that search results, social media activity streams and content recommendations on the internet are influenced by a range of factors. These factors include the search terms used, the context (e.g. geographical location), the device (e.g. laptop or mobile phone), local regulations (which sometimes dictate what can or cannot be shown), the behaviour of other users (e.g. trending searches or recommendations) and the user’s past online behaviour across the internet.
Level C1 | Leadership
I weigh the benefits and disadvantages of using AI-driven search engines (e.g. while they might help users find the desired information, they may compromise privacy and personal data, or subject the user to commercial interests). (AI)
Level C1 | Leadership
I know how to handle information overload and “infodemic” (i.e. increase of false or misleading information during a disease outbreak ) by adapting personal search methods and strategies.
Level C1 | Leadership
I value tools designed to protect search privacy and other rights of users (e.g. browsers such as DuckDuckGo).
Level C2 | Innovation
I am concerned that much online information and content may not be accessible to people with a disability, for example to users who rely on screen reader technologies to read aloud the content of a web page. (DA)
Level C2 | Innovation
I am aware that AI algorithms work in ways that are usually not visible or easily understood by users. This is often referred to as “black box” decision-making as it may be impossible to trace back how and why an algorithm makes specific suggestions or predictions. (AI)
