Research has suggested that independent study students may benefit from engaging with a proximate community of engagement (PCE) while completing an online course and that they perceive that such engagement will help them succeed. Independent Study students were surveyed at the completion of their course to assess the level at which they actually interacted with a PCE. Survey findings were confirmed with follow-up interviews with students and their parents to triangulate survey data. Findings revealed that students in the study interacted with a PCE when completing the course. The percentage of students actually engaging with a PCE was lower than the percentages of students from a previous study who perceived that such engagement would be helpful. The research suggests that students made aware of the benefits of a PCE at the beginning of the course, and who receive coaching to curate that community as an assignment in the course, will be more likely to receive the learning benefits of community engagement. Future research to confirm the value of engaging with a proximate community, identifying most helpful and effective interactions, and helping students curate such a community were proposed.

This study aims to determine the behavioral stages of students in responding to hoaxes, which are increasingly rampant due to the easy access to information that is widely available on social media so that there is no information filtering system when information is disseminated on social media. Social media is a virtual social place between individuals, to share information with each other. The subjects of this study were students major of library science, faculty of civil and cultural science State Islamic University of Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta. The Major of Library Science has contributed to the development of information literacy in Indonesia. Information literacy consists of searching, analyzing and finding the information needed. This research uses descriptive qualitative research methods. Techniques for determining informants using purposive sampling or non-random techniques. There are 16 students of the Library Science study program who are included in the category of research informants. The research method was carried out by interview and documentation. Researchers gave several questions to informants regarding information and hoaxes circulating on social media. Then the informants analyzed the information on social media, and distinguished valid and hoax information. The results showed that the behavioral stages of Library Science students at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta in responding to hoax information on social media were 1. Students searched for news on social media, 2. Students looked at posted news accounts / sources, 3. Students paid attention to synchronization of titles and contents. news, 4. Students check the validity of the news by means of; a. see the comments column, b. double check, and c. crosscheck.

At the University of Georgia, HORT 3020 (Introduction to Fruit Crops) is a two-credit survey of the botanical characteristics, taxonomy, and production practices of the world's major fruit crops. It is offered via traditional classroom instruction, and as a distance education (DE) course through the University System of Georgia Independent Study program. The DE version of the course is designed to be identical in content, final exam, and grading scale. However, due to the nature of independent study, the end-of-topic evaluations are open-book, written assignments in the DE course, whereas students in the classroom version have closed-book quizzes at the end of each topic. Student performance in the two versions of the course was compared over a 3-year period (May 1998 to May 2001) by analyzing scores on end-of-topic evaluations, final exams, and overall course grades. Students in the DE version had higher scores on end-of-topic evaluations in all 3 years, higher scores on a comprehensive final exam in 2 of 3 years, and consequently higher overall course grades than classroom students in all 3 years. Better performance of DE over classroom students may have been related to 1) qualitative differences in end-of-topic evaluations (written assignments versus quizzes), 2) differences in student demographics (nontraditional students in DE, traditional undergraduates in classroom), 3) the elective (DE) versus required (classroom) nature of the courses, or 4) differences in course duration (1 year for DE, 15 weeks for classroom). Equal or better performance of DE students suggests that survey courses such as Introduction to Fruit Crops can be offered via distance education without compromising learning outcomes.

Digital literacy can be used as a means of learning because the millennial era currently has digital sources of information that are liked by the public. Information technology-based learning materials are very easy to find and download in digital form and download free of charge so that people in various circles are very easy to get the information needed, as well as students. Universitas Terbuka which organizes an education system remotely, teaching materials which are the main learning materials apart from being provided in printed form, is also developed in digital form. Learning aid materials in the form of online tutorials and web tutorials (tuweb) is also in digital form because online tutorials and tuweb to access them must be connected to the internet. The spread of information in digital form requires knowledge or the ability to find or use these digital information sources. Researchers raised problems about digital literacy in distance learning, especially students of the Library Science Study Program, FHISIP-UT. The research method used is quantitative with the addition of qualitative data. The results showed that the Open University students, especially the Library Science students of FHISIP-UT, already have the ability to terms of digital literacy. Because we often and always use a PC / Laptop at home or office, use a cellphone/smartphone/tablet, and use the internet.   Literasi digital sering dikaitkan dengan perkembangan teknologi informasi yang semakin marak saat ini. Literasi digital dimungkinkan untuk digunakan sebagai sarana pembelajaran, karena jaman millennial saat ini tersebar sumber-sumber informasi yang berbentuk digital dan disukai oleh masyarakat. Materi pembelajaran berbasis teknologi informasi, sangat mudah ditemukan dan diunduh dalam bentuk digital serta diunduh secara gratis, sehingga masyarakat dalam berbagai kalangan sangat mudah mendapatkan informasi yang dibutuhkan, demikian juga para pelajar maupun mahasiswa. Universitas Terbuka yang menyelenggarakan sistem pendidikan secara jarak jauh, bahan ajar yang merupakan bahan pembelajaran utama selain disediakan dalam bentuk tercetak, juga dikembangkan dalam bentuk digital. Materi bantuan belajar berupa tutorial online dan tutorial web (tuweb) juga dalam bentuk digital, karena tutorial online dan tuweb untuk mengaksesnya harus tersambung dengan internet. Dengan tersebarnya informasi dalam bentuk digital ini, maka diperlukan pengetahuan atau kemampuan dalam mencari atau menggunakan sumber informasi digital tersebut. Peneliti mengangkat permasalahan tentang literasi digital dalam pembelajaran jarak jauh khususnya mahasiswa Program Studi S1 Ilmu Perpustakaan FHISIP-UT. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan tambahan data kualitatif. Hasil penelitian bahwa mahasiswa Universitas Terbuka khususnya mahasiswa Ilmu Perpustakaan FHISIP-UT sudah mempunyai kemampuan dalam hal lierasi digital. Karena sudah sering dan selalu menggunakan PC/Laptop di rumah maupun kantor, menggunakan Ponsel/smartphone/tablet, dan menggunakan internet.
