VM Literacy VCE Units 1 & 2 Practice Question 6b – Safe and respectful digital practices

Q6b VM Literacy Safe and respectful digital practices Unit 1 - Area Of Study 2

You are doing a one-week work placement at a community sports centre. Your supervisor asks you to help promote a new after-school program by posting information on the centre’s official social media account and replying to public messages.

A person sends the centre a direct message (DM) saying they are “a parent of a Year 10 student” and want to enrol their child. In the same DM they:

  • ask you to “confirm your identity” by sending a photo of your staff lanyard and your work email password “so I know I’m talking to a real person”
  • request the child’s enrolment be “kept private from other parents”
  • offer to pay by bank transfer and ask you to send the centre’s bank details
  • include a screenshot of another staff member’s personal Facebook profile and say “message them too, they respond faster”

You have access to the sports centre website and the official program enrolment form, and you can ask your supervisor for guidance.

Unit 1 Overview

In Unit 1 of VM Literacy students work through the areas of study 'Literacy for personal use' and 'Understanding and creating digital texts'.

Understanding and creating digital texts

In this area of study students build on and work to consolidate their digital literacy skills. Students will develop their capacity to critically assess digital texts, including webpages for vocational and workplace settings, podcasts and social media. They will continue to develop the analytic skills they used in Area of Study 1 to identify and discuss aspects of digital texts. As a part of their studies, students will discuss the reliability and effectiveness of websites in connecting with audiences and delivering factual messages and information. Students will read, view and interact with different digital texts and participate in learning activities to develop their capacity to explore and discuss their impact. They will identify the ways a visitor encounters and experiences digital texts, considering their purpose and the social, cultural, vocational and workplace values associated with it. They will explore text through the prism of their own experience, knowledge, values and interests, and also those of others.
