CIS Week 1 Reflections - Class P06

Dear Students (Class P06)

We have just completed the 1st week of lesson which covered issues like Information Literacy, Digital Divide and IDA's initiatives in bridging digital divide in Singapore.

Please reflect on what you have learnt this week and post your reflections on the following issues. Do keep your reflection succinct (i.e. brief and concise) and to the point, in not more than half a page.

Reflect on these issues:
(i) Is there a difference between Literacy and Information Literacy? Can a country achieve information literacy without its citizens attaining a basic level of literacy?

(ii) Digital Divide is said to occur only in the less well-off countries. Is this true? Does Digital Divide occur in a more prosperous place like Singapore?

(iii) Identify 2 basic measures that a government can do to alleviate digital divide.
