dc.titleMeasuring algorithmic literacy and internet skills in Hawaiʻi resident internet users
dc.typeThesis
dcterms.abstractThis paper explores what standards and foundations of algorithmic comprehension are correlated to engage equitably in our current digital economy. The tenets foundational to this study will be algorithm literacy, comprised of algorithm awareness and algorithm knowledge, and Internet skills provided based on current research in the field. Empowering users to successfully recognize and navigate algorithm-experiences online will limit misinformation, data exploitation and manipulation leading to enhanced autonomy in online and offline decision-making. The study results offer plausible policy recommendations for a civil society that is equipped to make the most comprehensive and considerate decisions with regards to digital innovations and implementation.
