Digital Media Literacy Quiz
Welcome to the Media Literacy Quiz!
This quiz is designed to help you understand how digital media works and how it affects your everyday life.
We all use the internet and social media constantly – this quiz is a chance to reflect, and learn, not to be tested or judged.
The quiz is divided into five short modules:
- Understanding Digital Media -> how online content is created and shared
- Recognising Misinformation -> spotting false, misleading, or biased information
- Privacy and Online Safety -> protecting yourself and your data online
- Healthy Digital Behaviour -> developing balanced and respectful online habits
- Social media and Wellbeing -> how digital platforms affect mood, self-image, and mental health
There are different question types:
- Multiple Choice (One Question with different answers, you should tick the one you believe is correct)
- Image Multiple Choice (the same as Multiple Choice, the answers are pictures)
- True/False (One Question with two answers, true or false, click the right one)
- Drag and Drop (Place different statements in the right categories)
- Fill in the Blanks (complement the gaps in the text)
Important:
There are no “bad” results in this quiz.
It’s not about criticizing your choices or your online behaviour. Instead, it’s an orientation tool meant to help you think more clearly about what you see online and how you interact with it!
What matters most is not your final score, but:
- the feedback you receive
- the questions you start asking yourself
- and the awareness you build while playing
Single Choice Question:
Are you ready to test your knowledge?
