Welcome to Module 6 on Information Technology, entitled Accessing and Maintaining
Information for National Certificate Level I! In this module, you will learn how to identify,
gather, interpret and maintain information using tools such as the internet or intranet.
Throughout this module, you will do a series of mini-projects that will show mastery of
the skills and knowledge that you have learned. These projects involve interviews,
observations, and tasks that may require online work. Although these projects are stand
alone activities, they will help you in practicing and developing your skills in accessing
and maintaining information.

It is important that we begin our lessonby reflecting on where we are becauseit willguide
us throughout the learning of this module. It will also help us keep track on the things that
we need to work on, as well as the things that we are already good at. To continue with
self-reflection, answer the pre-module learner’s reflection below.

Think about the quotation found on the firstpart of the module (“The internet gaveus access
to everything; it also gave everything access to us” / Nabigyan tayo ng internet ng access
sa buhay ng ibang tao; pero binigyan din ng internet ang ibang tao ng access sa ating
pansariling buhay). In your own understanding, what do you think this quotation means?
How does it relate to our topic, accessing and maintaining information?
� Let us first see what type of information that you might access and maintain. Remember,
information can be related to a variety of topics and even tied to your interests and
hobbies! For instance, perhaps you look for statistics about your favorite sports teams. Or
maybe you research ingredients for your favorite recipes. You could also conduct
scholarly research for assignments at school or market research for a small business you
would like to start. With that in mind, answer the questions in the table below:
What kinds of
information do you
usually look for?
Where do you get this
information?
How do you keep or
discard the information?

� Key Facts 6.1:Sources of Information
When researching any topic, it is important to support your findings with evidence, scholarship,
and interpretations that are relevant, suitable, and reliable.
For instance, perhaps you are interested in learning more about the Spanish Flu of 1918, one of
the deadliest pandemics in history. In your online research, you find the following sources of
information:
∙ A black and white photograph of patients in a hospital during the 1918 pandemic ∙
A bibliography (or list of books) on the 1918 Spanish Flu
∙ A magazine article written in 2020 comparing COVID-19 and the Spanish Flu
While these documents, or sources, are connected to the same event (the 1918 Spanish Flu),
each one falls into a different category. All documents that you use for study or research fall into
one of three categories:
1. Primary Documents
∙ A primary document is an immediate, first-hand account or evidence of an event or a
period of research.
∙ Examples might include diaries, letters, speeches, birth certificates, manuscripts,
photographs, and eyewitness accounts. These provide direct evidence of the topic or
event.
∙ When it comes to primary documents, it is important to keep in mind that they have been
shaped by personal points of view and cultural perceptions.
∙ Primary document may not provide broader the historical context offered by secondary
documents.
� In the case of your research on the Spanish Flu, the primary document would be the
photograph of the hospital patients, as it was taken in 1918, during the flu pandemic,
and is first-hand evidence of the event.

2. Secondary Documents
∙ Unlike a primary document, a secondary document is usually written after the event or time
period has concluded. It builds on, comments, or discusses theprimary source. The author
most likely has not witnessed or lived through the event himself or herself.
∙ Secondary documents often reference primary documents, provide interpretation, and
discuss the significance of an event in a historical context.
∙ Keep in mind that a secondary document includes the writer’s own perspective and frame
of reference.
∙ When it comes to current affairs, or events that are taking place now, a newspaper story is
an example of a secondary document.
� In the case of the Spanish Flu, the 2020 magazine article that compares the epidemic
to COVID-19 is a secondary document: it builds on, interprets, and contextualizes the
situation.
3. Tertiary Documents
∙ Tertiary documents provide an index, or list, that directs us to relevant primary and
secondary documents.
∙ These include indexes, directories, and bibliographies (an organized list of sources about a
particular topic).
� In the case of the Spanish Flu research, a bibliography of books about the global
pandemic would be considered a tertiary source.
Here are some key points to keep in mind when it comes to different types of documents and
their relationship to research:
∙ You can remember the difference between types of documents based on how close they
were in time to the topic at hand. First are primary documents, which provide a first-hand
account of the event; second are the secondary documents, which build on and
contextualize the primary sources; third are the tertiary (tertiary means “third”) sources,
which are the most removed in time and space from the event.
∙ Whenever you find a document, be sure to note the source and keep track of your
research.
∙ When writing, be sure to follow citation protocol: include web links, date about publication,
page numbers, and editions (depending on whether you source is electronic or not).
Citations are important for severalreasons: first,they givecredit to asource; second, they
help anyone reading your work locate your references if they would like to learn more!
∙ Be careful not to plagiarize (copy without citation) from sources. If you are directly citing
the text, be sure to use quotation marks; if you summarize, you still need to cite the
source. Plagiarismis a serious offense—it is a form of intellectual theft—and there may

be serious consequences, such as failing a course. If you have any questions, be sure to
ask a trusted source of authority, such as a librarian or your instructor.
Let’s Exercise:Sources of Information
Choose whether the sources are primary, secondary, or tertiary:
Source of Information Type of Source
(Primary, Secondary, Tertiary)
1. The Diary of Anne Frank
2. A history book about World War II
3. A news article about a monsoon
4. Library index of books about space exploration
5. A transcript of the president’s speech
6. Your notes when you interviewed the SK Chairman
Check out the correct answers at the end of the module. If you got a score of 3 and below, you
should best re-read Key Facts 6.1 or ask a family member or a friend to help you understand the
types of sources of information before moving on to the next task in this activity.

� Key Facts 6.2:Quantitative andQualitative Data1
“Data” is a word that we often hear in different forms: database, data analytics, data collection,
etc.—the list goes on! But what does the word “data” actually mean? Data refers to any factual
information that can be collected through observation.
There are two main types of data: quantitative and qualitative. Simply put, quantitative data is
about numbers and hard facts: percentages, amounts, statistics, etc. Qualitative data, on the
other hand, is about narrative, or stories: quotations, interviews, personal opinions, etc. As a
rule of thumb, if the data involves numbers, it’s quantitative; if the data involves words, it’s
quantitative.
So why is it important to understand the differences? Let’s say that you work for a KPOP music
promotion company, and they have asked for you to collect data on an emerging market in
another country. What type of data will you collect: quantitative, qualitative, or both? Knowing
the advantages and disadvantages of different types of data will help guide your decision.

research
Keep in mind that data collection is not an either/or situation. In fact, qualitative and quantitative
data can complement each other. For example, in your research about the KPOP market in
another country, you could start with qualitative data by distributing surveys. Then you could
follow up with more specific questions through focus groups and qualitative data.
Let’s Exercise:Types of Information:Qualitative or Quantitative?
Determine whether the data are quantitative, qualitative, or both by placing an X on the
appropriate column. State your reason why.

Activity 3:Organizing Informationfor Easy Access
Objectives:
✔ Learn ways of organizing information

Visit a sari-sari store. Observe how the objects are stacked and arranged in the store. How
are the products or goods organized? Visit a library. Observe how the books are stacked
and arranged in the shelves. How are the books organized? Note your observations
below.
Sari-sari Store Library
Why do you think the goods and books are organized that way? Have you had an
experience when the goods or books are not organized properly? What
happened?
Similar to goods and books, information can also be organized in certain ways. What do
you think are the ways to organize information? Why is it important to organize
information in a specific way?

� Key Facts 6.4:Five Ways toOrganize Information3
The world around us is rich with an infinite among data. But how do we organize all this
information?
In the 1980s, Richard Saul Werman, an architect, had the same question. In his mind, architects
designing buildings faced similar challenges to writers designing words on a page—a
phenomenon he called “information architecture.” Werman determined that while the
information itself may be infinite (or endless), there is a finite number of ways to organize it—
five, to be exact.
These five categories are Location, Alphabet, Time, Category, or Hierarchy. (You can remember

SESSION 2: Searchfor Informationon the Internet or Intranet
2.1 Engine is searched to find and select appropriate information
2.2 Suitable techniques are used to make it easier to find useful information and to
pass it on to others
2.3 Records are use where useful information came from
2.4 Results are used for searches of useful information
2.5 Search engine is chosen appropriate for the information that is needed
2.6 Searches are carried out as per requirements
1. Search engines: Meta, Active, Passive
✶Meta search engines do not create their own databases. They rely on existing
active search engine indexes to retrieve search results. In a meta-search, keywords
are submitted to the individual search engines and they are searched simultaneously.
✶Activesearchenginesrelyon computerized retrieval mechanisms.Referred to as "spiders",
"crawlers", or "robots", these mechanisms visit Web sites and retrieve relevant keywords
to index and store in a searchable database.
✶ Passive search engines, often referred to as directories, are human controlled and do not
roam the Web directly. They rely on individual submissions that are reviewed and indexed
by subject category.
✶Specialized search engines offer additional features that active, passive and meta search
engines do not provide.

Activity 4:Finding, Selecting, andCarrying Out Searches inSearchEngines
Objectives:
✔ Learn methods in finding and selecting search engines
✔ Search for appropriate information on the internet

A search engine is a software systemused to carry out keyword searches in large
databases of information on the internet. There are four distinct categories of search
engines: active, passive, meta, and specialized. In order to use them the most effectively,
it is important to recognize and understand their differences, advantages, and
disadvantages.

∙ Disadvantages: computer generated
results (not human produced),
constantly changing links
Passive ∙ Also known as “directories”
∙ Human controlled and do not
directly roam the Web
∙ Rely on individual submissions that
are then indexed according to
the
subject category
∙ Advantages: human involvement
creates a higher relevancy of
results, offers users a subject
directory
∙ Disadvantages: contain fewer
results than an active search engine
∙ Internet Public Library -

Specialized ∙ Offer features that meta, active,
and passive search engines do not,
such as visual presentation of
results (RedZ) or allowing users to
pose direct question (Ask)
∙ Advantages: specialization of
searches can be helpful for
certain professions (scientific,
medical,
legal, etc.)
∙ Disadvantages: contains fewer
results than an active search
engine
∙ RedZ -

Meta ∙ Do not create their own databases,
but instead rely on existing
search
engines to index search results
∙ In a meta-search, the submitted
keywords are simultaneously
searched by several search engines ∙
Advantages: removes duplication
from most results, saves time by
searching multiple search engines
at once
∙ Disadvantages: displayed results
can be confusing, possibility
that
major search engines are
excluded from results

A note about the intranet: You may have heard the term “intranet,” so how is it different
from the internet? While the internet is a public network, the intranet is a private, secure
network for the sharing of resources within a single group or organization. Many
companies have an intranet systemthat includes relevant resources and data selected for
their employees.

Activity 5:Evaluating Sources of Information
Objectives:
✔ Critically appraise information from different sources
� What are three things that you learned from the previous module on finding, selecting,
and searching for information on the internet?
� Key Facts 6.6:How to Spot Real and Fake News5

What Is Fake News?
Fake news comes into different forms. Some of the fake news stories may be
completely untrue. These stories are fabricated, or made up, generally with the goal
of deceiving readers.
Other fake news stories may have some kernel of truth but are not 100 percent accurate.
For example, a journalist may quote only half of what a source says, thus misleading
readers. These omissions or embellishments (stretching or molding) of the facts may or
may not be intentional. Regardless, the reader is left with a false impression.
In the 21st
century, we are swimming in information (from our phones, radio, social
media, TV, newspapers, etc.) that comes at us everywhere, almost all of the time. It is up
to you to critically appraise your sources of news about the world around you.
Here are some ways that you can identify fake news:

1. Types of Information based on the Data Privacy Act of 2012
2. Confidentiality
3. Freedom of Information
✶Types of Information based on the Data Privacy Act of 2012
o Personal Information - refers to any information from which the identity of an
individual is apparent or can be reasonably and directly ascertained by the entity
holding the information
o Privileged Information - refers to any and all forms of data which under the Rules
of Court and other pertinent laws constitute privileged communication
o Sensitive Personal Information - refers to personal information about the
following, but not limited to race,ethnic origin; marital status; age;color; religious,
philosophical or political affiliations; health; education; genetic or sexual life of a
person
✶ A confidentiality breach is the disclosure of information to someone without the consent
of the person who owns it. In other words, it means failing to respect a person's privacy
or the confidence in which they gave the information or data to you, by passing it onto
someone else.
Activity 6:Basic File Handling Techniques

Objectives:
✔ Learn basic handling techniques to secure files
✔ Ensure data and systems integrity
� How do you securely store or share files, documents or information in your workplace?
If you are not working, interview a friend or a family member.
� Key Facts 6.7:How to Securely Store andShare Sensitive Files6
Your computer requires a password to sign in, so it’s completely secure, right? Wrong! If your
device contains anything that might be sensitive—legal documents, tax information—then you
need to take extra steps to guard and protect that information. A single password is not enough.
So how can you ensure that your files are well protected? A big piece of the puzzle involves
something called encryption.
Encryption is a technology that takes plain text, such as a message or an email, and scrambles it.
Doing so makes it unreadable. Encryption helps to protect the confidentiality (or privacy) of the
information transmitted through computer systems or the internet.
Here are instructions for how users of macOS and Windows can encrypt their files:
macOS
∙ Turn on the FileVault feature from System Preferences > Security & Privacy > FileVault. ∙
Doing will encrypt your entire hard drive.
6
Adaptedfrom Gordon, W. (2018, May4). How to securelystore and share sensitive files. Popular Science.
https://www.popsci.com/store-share-sensitive-files/

Windows
∙ Some PCs automatically encrypt their files by default.
∙ You can check if your files are encrypted by going to Settings > System > About and
scrolling down to "Device Encryption."
∙ If your computer does not have this capability, Windows offers a similar feature called
BitLocker that can encrypt your computer and your external drives. You can access
BitLocker through Control Panel > System and Security > Manage BitLocker.
Remember: you must know your password if you encrypt your files on a hard drive (in other
words, the physical hardware that stores your device’s content). Otherwise, you might find
yourself locked out of your own data!
Cloud storage
In the 21st
century, clouds are no longer only fluffy shapes in the sky! When it comes to
technology, cloud storage enables you to store your data in an off-site location (in other words,
outside of your computer hardware).
How can you ensure the safety of your data in cloud storage? Many cloud storage services, such
as Dropbox, encrypt your data, but doing so does not completely eliminate risk. Additional
measures such as two-step verification (i.e., where you need to confirm your identify through a
password sent to another device, such as your phone) helps add an extra layer of security.
Keep in mind, if you are storing your data in the cloud, you are entrusting it to someone
else. Sharing files
Once you start sharing important files with someone else, another layer of difficulty comes in. If
you are sending a sensitive document to someone such as a lawyer or tax preparer, they may
have a virtual “secure file box” where you can securely share the data. Use this option, as it is the
most secure.
If you are working with a colleague who also has an account on a cloud storage platform such as
Dropbox, sharing business-related files through that platform is a good option.

the entity holding the information, or when put together with other information would directly
and certainly identify an individual.
Privileged information refers to any and all forms of data which under the Rules of Court and

Activity 8:Confidentiality
Objectives:
✔ Understand confidentiality, privacy, security, and freedom of
information � Recommended Time: 120 – 180 minutes
� Key Facts 6.9:Confidentiality inthe Workplace:What You NeedtoKnow9
When you give advice to clients or patients for a living, you'll know that protecting sensitive and
personal information is crucial. But are you clear on what counts as a breach of confidence or
what to do if one occurs?
From how to protect confidential information, to what breaches of confidence look like for
different jobs, here's what you need to know about confidentiality in the workplace.
What is a breach of confidentiality?
In short, aconfidentiality breach is the disclosure of information to someone without the consent
of the person who owns it. In other words, failing to respect a person's privacy or the confidence
in which they gave the information or data to you, by passing it onto someone else.
Why is confidentiality important?
Protecting confidential information is vital. If you're in a position where you have access to or are
given this type of data at work, your career relies on your ability to keep patient or client
confidentiality. If you don't, you could lose trust and integrity in the eyes of your existing (and
potential future) clients, who could terminate your contract and take legal action against you.
Breaking confidentiality – is it ever justified?
There are a small number of cases when breaching confidentiality might be OK. Here are some
of them:
∙ If there’s a significant risk of the client harming themselves or someone else, particularly if
a child or vulnerable person is involved
∙ When sharing the information is required to comply with the law. If it came to light that
your client’s company was breaking a law, depending on the circumstances, you may have
9
Excerpt from source: https://www.directlineforbusiness.co.uk/small-business-insurance/knowledge-centre/tips-for
consultants/what-is-breach-of-confidentiality

an obligation to report this, or risk appearing complicit by association
∙ If the matter falls under the scope of any whistleblowing law. Strictly speaking, this
legislation is there to protect employees. But if the matter is of a serious enough nature
and/or it’s in the public interest to breach confidentiality, this law might protect
consultants, too
How to protect confidential information in the workplace
There are a few steps you can take to protect yourself and your livelihood from breaches:
∙ Talk to your client early on about what information you’ll have access to (if they’re a
business), how their information will be used and when (if ever) you would need to break
confidentiality and share their data. A written contract or agreement is useful here
∙ Treat personal data very carefully. Don’t store information for longer than necessary, and
make sure your computer is secure and compliant (for example, that it has the right
security software)
∙ It sounds obvious, but don’t talk about confidential information relating to clients outside
your professional practice. If you are given permission to share sensitive or confidential
information, make sure you and your client/patient are both completely clear about who
you have permission to share it with and in what circumstances
I think I've breached confidentiality – now what? Despite your best efforts, sometimes breaches
can still happen. When they do, it's best to be honest, so come clean quickly. If you're working
with a business client, let their Internal Data Compliance Officer (or equivalent) know. If your
breach relates to a patient, speak to your accrediting body for advice. You should also contact
your own legal representative and tell your professional indemnity business insurance provider.
Let’s Exercise:Confidentiality inthe Workplace
Fill in the blanks with the appropriate word/s.
∙ A confidentiality _____________ is the disclosure of information to someone
_____________ the consent of the person who owns it.
∙ If you don't keep the confidentiality of your clients, you could lose _____________ and

∙ When a confidentiality breach happens, it's best to be _____________. Check your
answers at the end of the module before moving on to the next activity.
