Youth is a potential resource in development. However, youth can be toxic as a substitute for various social deviations or tonics as agents of change in development. Youth has a pioneering in the village. Youth Studies Center (YouSure), Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada prepares these youth empowerment opportunities by developing Sipkades (Sistem Informasi Potensi Kreatif Desa). Based on community-based research, this paper aims to describe the implementation of the Sipkades carried out by the YouSure Community Service Team in Brosot Village, Galur District, and Sidorejo Village, Lendah District, Kulon Progo Regency, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. This paper emphasizes several things. First, youth empowerment in the social, cultural and economic fields needs to be supported by digital literacy. Second, digital literacy skills can contribute to village development through the use of the internet. In this digital age, youth cannot be separated from digital technology. If it does not support digital literacy skills, digital technology brings a bad effect on youth. Sipkades try to empower youth digital literacy so that they are asked to build their villages through the use of digital technology. Using community empowerment strategies by community-based resources management approach, Sipkades encourages young people to optimize their village resources and promote it through the internet—the slogan is thinking globally, act locally.Pemuda merupakan sumber daya potensial dalam pembangunan. Namun demikian, pemuda dapat menjadi toxic sebagai pelaku berbagai penyimpangan sosial atau tonic sebagai agen perubahan dalam pembangunan. Pemuda harus menjadi pelopor perubahan di desa. Youth Studies Centre (YouSure), Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Politik Universitas Gajah Mada menangkap peluang pemberdayaan pemuda ini dengan mengembangkan Sipkades (Sistem Informasi Potensi Kreatif Desa). Melalui Community Based Research, tulisan ini berusaha mendeskripsikan implementasi Sipkades yang dilaksanakan oleh Tim Pengabdian Masyarakat YouSure di Desa Brosot, Kecamatan Galur, dan Desa Sidorejo Kecamatan Lendah, Kabupaten Kulonprogo, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta.

ABSTRACT: This paper details a number of challenges and opportunities for today’s learners when reading for information on the Internet. After defining online reading comprehension from a new literacies perspective and how it appears to be different than offline reading comprehension, I highlight details about four of the biggest challenges for today’s learners. These include 1) understanding and becoming proficient with the new literacy skills and practices needed for online research; 2) developing a special kind of digital wisdom that focuses on learning how to learn with the Internet; 3) taking on new roles in a digital culture that expects learners to actively participate and contribute with new knowledge as a member of their community; and 4) developing positive attitudes toward using the Internet for academic work. The second part of the paper shares examples of how skilled online readers can use the steps of online inquiry to think more deeply about topics that interest them; develop a personal voice as they share ideas with others; and work collaboratively to build meaning and new digital products that enable them to make a difference in their world, or matter.

Increasing broadband adoption among members of underserved populations remains a high priority among policymakers, advocates, corporations, and affected communities. But questions about the risks entailed in the flow of personal information are beginning to surface and shine light on the tension between broadband’s benefits and harms. This article examines broadband adoption programs at community-based and public institutions in the United States in order to understand the ways in which privacy and surveillance issues emerge and are engaged in these settings. While adults who enroll in introductory digital literacy classes and access the Internet at public terminals feel optimistic about broadband “opportunities,” they encounter “privacy-poor, surveillance-rich” broadband. Users experience myriad anxieties, while having few meaningful options to meet their concerns.

Cyberchondria refers to the state of performing repeated and excessive health-related searches on the internet leading to elevated levels of distress or health anxiety. It may have unpleasant consequences such as heightened anxiety, overwhelming information load, and troubled patient-physician relationship. To overcome the negative effects of cyberchondria, several strategies were suggested in the literature. In this chapter, enhancing digital and health literacy skills is presented as an important approach for tackling with undesirable effects of excessive health-related internet use. Basic dimensions of digital literacy are pointed out, as well as digital literacy skills. Health literacy is defined and reviewed in digital literacy framework. E-health literacy is associated with digital literacy. Searching the internet for medical information would deliver its true value through improved digital and health literacy skills. Individuals would accurately evaluate online health information, properly interpret the search results, and take the reasonable steps in applying the acquired knowledge.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss the contribution of community-based research to the self-organisation of Civil Society and in particular to community engagement, policy processes and social change. Design/methodology/approach – Starting from communities own issues and organisational structures, this paper presents a methodology to create spaces for social transformation. Its approach was designing engagement programmes of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) with communities’ partnerships, supported by constructed conversations, workshops and fieldwork, coproducing knowledge within community structures. Findings – The research offers evidence that supporting community empowerment and engagement with community-based research needs a deep understanding of participatory social processes. It makes visible that researchers should have more opportunities to focus their research on communities rather than on collecting data to respond to funders. Research limitations/implications – Though community self-organisation happens one way or the other effective self-organisation processes cannot be taken for granted and need further studies and elaboration. Despite current efforts it requires more studies to understand social systems and develop stronger links to active citizenship policies. Practical implications – This research contributes to communities’ engagement in policy processes and highlights the enabling role of HEIs. Originality/value – It rearticulates participatory approaches to active citizenship and learning in communities.

With the onset of the digital era, the classroom's teaching and learning process has also shifted. The use of technology makes it easy for lecturers and students to access various information and references on the internet. However, not all of the information and concerns come from reliable and credible sources, so it is necessary to select and sort out the references used. This research's background determines students' ability to find and utilize and evaluate the credibility of information to be used in their writing. Although most students can use digital technology in their daily lives, they have difficulty determining whether the articles or texts from the internet come from credible sources or just subjective opinions that are not strong enough to be used as references in the 2018 class. Students' skills have an impact on the search for reference sources when they write scientific papers. The preliminary observations on students of 2018 and 2019 have shown that some students stated that they were very familiar with information technology and accessed the internet skillfully. Some had difficulty finding the required references. The output of this research is a guide for checking the credibility of references and articles published in journals so that the public can refine the findings of this study by providing contributive input. If the results are positive, it means that they can be applied to other courses in other classes as well.
