Digital literacy: a review in the South Pacific

Research issues of the top 100 cited articles on information literacy in higher education published from 2011 to 2020: A systematic review and co-citation network analysis

Researchers have pointed out that the concept of information literacy has given rise to extensive research on new teaching methods, policies and courses, many of which have been incorporated into education (Reddy et al, 2021).

More specifically, digital literacy is conceptualized as including the ability to read visual instructions, utilize digital skills to reproduce meaningful messages to meet specific needs, evaluate the quality of digital information (e.g., careful selection of relevant information from the retrieved information), and understanding the cyberspace “rules” and following them in framing the communications ( Eshet and Amichai-Hamburger, 2004 ; Reddy et al, 2021 ). Especially since the terrifying and highly infectious virus, COVID-19 has accelerated the transformation of the world into a digital-world (e.g., Priyono et al, 2020 ; Trenerry et al, 2021 ), it is important to possess digital literacy.…”
