Short answer
Information and Media Literacy Quiz checks whether the learner can transfer ideas from the module into new situations. It is not a memory race. Each question asks for the safest, most evidence-based or most mathematically justified action. The four options are shuffled every time the quiz begins, so the correct answer does not remain in one screen position.
Why this assessment matters
The quiz checks transfer rather than position memory. A strong result means the learner can identify the relevant principle in a new situation, choose an evidence-based action and explain a limit. The score is useful only when it leads to a review action.
Learning objectives
- Apply module concepts in unfamiliar scenarios.
- Distinguish evidence-based actions from confident guesses.
- Use explanations to identify the reason behind each answer.
- Create a follow-up practice task from an incorrect or uncertain response.
Interactive quiz
Read the scenario before looking for familiar words. Choose the action that preserves evidence, safety and a clear reasoning path. The option order changes whenever the quiz starts or restarts.
Common quiz mistakes
- Choosing an option because it repeats a word from the question.
- Treating the longest answer as automatically correct.
- Ignoring the safety, evidence or unit condition in the scenario.
- Looking only at the score and skipping the explanations.
Review strategy and summary
Before starting, review the module lessons in sequence. Build a one-page map containing the central concepts, one example and one limit from each page. After the quiz, classify each error as a vocabulary problem, a reasoning problem, an evidence problem or rushed reading. That classification tells you what to practise next.

Privacy and data note
The quiz runs in the browser. Answers and scores are not sent to a server. Do not place names, passwords, precise locations or private project data into notes or screenshots.
Review focus 1: Facts, Opinions, Claims and Advertising
Facts can be checked, opinions express judgement, claims require evidence and advertising is designed to influence a choice. A strong review connects verifiability with language and framing, then uses evidence burden to create evidence and commercial purpose to state a limit. Practise by considering this situation: A product page mixes measured battery life, enthusiastic praise, an unsupported “best” claim and a sponsored badge. Your review artefact should label each sentence by type and rewrite the page so evidence and promotion are clearly separated.
Review focus 2: How to Evaluate a Source
Source evaluation asks who produced the information, for what purpose, using which evidence and with what limitations. A strong review connects authorship and expertise with publication purpose, then uses evidence and references to create evidence and date and correction history to state a limit. Practise by considering this situation: Two pages give opposite advice about a sensor; one is a manufacturer manual and the other is an anonymous post. Your review artefact should score several sources with a transparent evaluation rubric.
Review focus 3: Primary and Secondary Sources
Primary sources provide direct evidence, while secondary sources analyse, summarise or interpret that evidence. A strong review connects direct versus interpreted evidence with research context, then uses strengths and limitations to create evidence and matching source to question to state a limit. Practise by considering this situation: A student compares a device data sheet, a laboratory test and a review article. Your review artefact should build a source ladder for a technical research question.
Review focus 4: Searching the Web More Effectively
Effective web searching turns a broad question into precise terms, filters and source-focused queries. A strong review connects keyword selection with exact phrases and exclusions, then uses site and file filters to create evidence and query iteration to state a limit. Practise by considering this situation: A broad search for “robot sensor best” returns advertisements and unrelated beginner pages. Your review artefact should write and compare a sequence of increasingly precise search queries.
Review focus 5: Lateral Reading: Checking a Page Against Other Sources
Lateral reading means leaving a page to investigate its author, organisation and claims through independent sources. A strong review connects leave the page with check reputation, then uses trace claims upstream to create evidence and compare independent coverage to state a limit. Practise by considering this situation: A polished website makes a scientific claim but does not explain who funds or operates it. Your review artefact should perform a timed lateral-reading investigation and record the evidence trail.
Review focus 6: Verifying a Viral Claim Step by Step
Verifying a viral claim requires finding the original context, checking date and location and comparing independent evidence. A strong review connects state the exact claim with find the earliest reliable source, then uses check time and place to create evidence and separate confirmed from unknown to state a limit. Practise by considering this situation: A short video says a robot performed a world-first task, but the clip has been reposted without date or source. Your review artefact should create a verification timeline and confidence statement.
Review focus 7: Investigating the Source and Context of Images
An image can be authentic but misleading when it is cropped, relabelled or removed from its original date and place. A strong review connects visual details with reverse-search logic, then uses original publication to create evidence and caption and context to state a limit. Practise by considering this situation: A flood photograph is shared as if it happened today in another country. Your review artefact should build an image-context record using visible clues and source comparison.
Review focus 8: How Graphs Can Mislead Us
Graphs can mislead through truncated axes, uneven intervals, inappropriate chart types or missing denominators. A strong review connects axis and scale with baseline and interval, then uses labels and units to create evidence and absolute numbers versus rates to state a limit. Practise by considering this situation: A bar chart makes a small improvement look dramatic by starting the vertical axis near the data values. Your review artefact should redesign a misleading chart and explain every correction.

A score of 90 or above suggests a 30-day return, 70–89 a seven-day return, and a lower score a next-day return. Missed questions can be retried in a separate session.
The progress centre shows best score, latest attempt, upcoming review and difficult questions. Local history can be cleared for one quiz or for all quizzes.
