MOBILE PHONES, INTERNET, AND GENDER IN MYANMAR MOBILE PHONES, INTERNET, AND GENDER IN MYANMAR 8 Annexes Annex 1: GSMA Digital Skills Framework criteria Criteria LEVEL 1: SET-UP LEVEL 2: SEARCH AND NAVIGATE LEVEL 3: CONSUME AND EVALUATE LEVEL 4: CREATE AND SHARE LEVEL 5: CONFIGURE AND MANAGE Description This includes acquiring and using a data plan, setting up internet access on a phone and downloading applications and services (e.g. Facebook), and signing up for these services and applications. This refers to the ability to search and navigate within a mobile internet service or application. For example, this could involve searching for contacts on WhatsApp or Facebook. At a more advanced level, users would be able to apply the search and navigation skills learned in one service to other, unfamiliar services. For example, a user who can search for friends on Facebook should also be able to search for content on Google or YouTube. At a basic level, a user would understand there are different sources and types of content on the internet (e.g. understand the differences between advertisements, crowd-sourced comments, and news articles). At a more advanced level, the user would be able to discover new and useful services, applications and information, and then determine the extent to which they can trust this content This refers to a user’s ability to create tailored content for an online interaction and then share that content with a particular audience. For the purpose of this study, we adopted a broad definition of the term ‘content creation’ to include messaging, as well as posting on an online forum (e.g. posting status updates on Facebook or commenting on news items). At a more advanced level, a user would be able to create content for a broader audience, not just for one’s own social network. This skill includes the ability to update settings and preferences for one or more internet services (e.g. adjusting privacy settings on Facebook). At a more advanced level, it includes the ability to configure new services and applications independently. The ability to manage multiple digital identities and critical risk factors related to internet use, such as privacy and harassment, are also a part of this skill. Source: GSMA.
