Clayton Haliburton's List: DGL Vocabulary List

• Defining digital literacy (or literacies) is difficult given the contested and common sense understanding of literacy described above and the host of competing terms in the arena of new technology – these include information literacy, computer literacy, internet literacy and hyper-literacy. In addition, the object of digital literacy is constantly moving;
• knowing how technology and media affect the ways in which we go about
   finding things out, communicating with one another, and gaining knowledge and understanding. And it also means understanding how technologies and media can
   shape and influence the ways in which school subjects can be taught and learnt.

• The three stage model of digital literacy proposed by the DigEuLit project, funded by the EC eLearning Initiative (Martin and Grudziecki 2006) refers to the following three levels:

   
   
  • digital competence is the skills, concepts approaches, attitudes, etc.
   
  • digital usage refers to the application of digital competence within a specific context (such as school)
   
  • digital transformation which involves creativity and innovation in the digital domain

• A digital identity is a set of claims made by one digital subject about itself or another digital subject.
• “A Digital Identity is the representation of a human identity that is used in a distributed network interaction with other machines or people.”
• A digital identity is a combination of credentials that manages a computer user's authentication, authorization and access rights.
• A digital identity is the combination of the cryptographic keys and the certificate. A digital identity is a file, stored on a hard disk or some other external device (ex: Smartcard, USB-Token).
  The cryptographic keys, is what it is all about. You could consider the certificate as the packaging for the keys which allow for verifying the validity and, to a certain extend, the correctness of the information.
• ‘Digital identity refers to the set of digital information—including user IDs, passwords, access control lists, public-key certificates, and voiceprint patterns—that is associated with a particular individual.”
• Any person has identity. It allows us to say “it was him who was hit by the truck, thus it is him who is dead and not somebody else”.

• A digital identity is an online or networked identity adopted or claimed in cyberspace by an individual, organization or electronic device. These users may also project more than one digital identity through multiple communities. In terms of digital identity management, key areas of concern are security and privacy.
• • Username and password
   
  • Online search activities, like electronic transactions
   
  • Date of birth
   
  • Social security number
   
  • Medical history
   
  • Purchasing history or behavior

• Digital Security means to protect information. It deals with the prevention and detection of unauthorized actions by users of a computer.This definition by nature, implies the necessity to clearly understand the true value of an organizations proprietary information
• Confidentiality. The prevention of unauthorized information leaks by company personnel. An example poor security in this case would be to allow anonymous access to company systems.
• Integrity. The prevention of erroneous modification of information. Authorized users are probably the biggest cause of errors, omissions and alterations data. Malicious attackers also can modify or corrupt information that is vital to the correct operation of business functions.
• Availability. The prevention of unauthorized withholding of necessary company information or digital resources. Appropriate data must be readily available to authorized users, enabling them to better do their jobs.
• Authentication. The process of verifying that users are who they think they claim to be when logging into a system. Generally user names and passwords accomplishes this task. Of course more sophisticated methods are used depending on the nature of the organization. Note that the process of authentication does not always grant the user access rights to resources – this is achieved through the authorization process (see below)
• Authorization. The process of allowing only authorized users access to information. An authorization process uses the appropriate security authority to determine whether a user should have access to resources.

• is: taking necessary precautions to guarantee electronic digital safety.
• Digital Security is simply about being secure about everthing that is electronic. For example, when you begin to learn about computers and the internet, you are taught to not reveal any personal information, like your full name and contact numbers. Then, on a later stage, you are taught about anti-virus software; and how it works. It basically does it's best to keep your electronical devices free from viruses.

• Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. In its exemplary form, it is based on universal intellectual values that transcend subject matter divisions: clarity, accuracy, precision, consistency, relevance, sound evidence, good reasons, depth, breadth, and fairness.
• Critical thinking is self-guided, self-disciplined thinking which attempts to reason at the highest level of quality in a fair-minded way.   People who think critically consistently attempt to live rationally, reasonably, empathically.

• Critical thinking is that mode of thinking - about any subject, content, or problem - in which the thinker improves the quality of his or her thinking by skillfully taking charge of the structures inherent in thinking and
  imposing intellectual standards upon them.

• Digital rights and responsibility is your behavior, attitude, and choices online. Digital rights give you the freedom to make decisions, and what decision you make is your digital responsibility. Your freedom of speech also applies to your computer, you can say whatever you want as long as you're not violating your right; that's where your digital responsibility comes in. You have to be responsible to make sure you stay safe while online. For example, on the internet you have many bad choices that you can make, like plagiarism, or giving out personal information. But, there are also good choices that you can make online. You also have the right to privacy. Your privacy rights give you the choice to give out your information, but people cannot invade your privacy - like hacking your facebook account or suspending you from school because of an online photo of you. You have the right to keep your personal information private, but be careful when giving it out to others.

• • Social media is the environment not the technology (i.e., Facebook is a social media environment built on social networking technology and Wikipedia is a social media environment built on wiki technology).
   
  • You must have a purpose for the technology for it to be social media other wise it’s just technology. Notice how I worked “purpose” into the definition

  • Though you can do many things with social media (like 1:1 interactions and mass communications) it’s real and unique value comes from mass collaboration.
   
  • Not just collaboration but mass collaboration. Never before have such large numbers of people been able to effectively collaborate. If I had the power to redefine a few things I would use the term “mass collaboration technology” rather than social technology (or the many permutations like social media technology, social computing technology, etc.) because social technology is too broad and doesn’t capture the unique value proposition of the new technologies (isn’t the telephone a social technology). If the technology you choose for your social media channel doesn’t support mass collaboration then you are in trouble.

• Collaborative mass media are a new type of mass communications medium in which the audience acts both as the source and the  receiver of the message. Theories of discretionary data base contributions and critical mass theory offer parallel explanations  for the success of collaborative media. The present research integrated the predictions of these two perspectives in the context  of a national survey of public electronic bulletin board systems. The study documented the nature and extent of electronic  bulletin board use and compared predictions about the success of collaborative media based on the two theoretical perspectives.  File contribution levels and system adoption rates were both found to be directly related to a measure of symmetry in user  participation. Content diversity was directly related to contribution levels, but not to overall adoption levels. The results  provided limited support for discretionary data base theory.

• Collaboration is a joint effort of multiple individuals or work groups to accomplish a task or project. A wide range of collaborative software (also known as groupware ) is available to enable collaborative communication. Collaboration may be asynchronous , in which case those collaborating are not necessarily working together (and in communication) at the same time; in contrast, collaboration may be synchronous (this is known as real-time collaboration), in which collaborative partners are working together simultaneously and in communication as they work.
