3 Study Sources C and D. How different are these two sources? Explain your answer. [7] Skill: Comparing perspectives of sources Level of Respons e LEVEL DESCRIPTOR Marks Allocation L1 NAQ / describes sources only 1m L2 Answers based on provenance E.g.: Sources C and D are similar in that they are published online for medical workers. OR Topical answers E.g. Sources C and D are similar as both sources address the use of social media during COVID-19. 2m L3 Similar / Different based on content of source E.g.1: Sources C and D are similar as both sources agree that social media can influence the spreading of information easily during COVID - 19. Source C states “misinformation about COVID -19 is reaching more individuals than in past public health crises, as YouTube continues to grow as a source of healthcare information.” This implies that the outreach of social media like YouTube has allowed information of any kind to be spread efficiently. Similarly, Source D states “social media encourages the spreading of brief and understandable messages”. This meant that social media had helped to send information during COVID - 19 efficiently too. E.g. 2: Sources C and D are not similar as both sources are different in stating the impact of the use of social media. C says that the use of social media has resulted in negative outcomes from the evidence “we found out that more than 25% of the most viewed YouTube videos about COVID-19 contained misleading information, garnering over 62 million views worldwide. This means that misinformation about COVID- 19 is reaching more individuals than in past public health crises”. This implies that the social media had caused the general public to learn the wrong information which can make the management of the pandemic worse. However, D says that the use of social media has resulted in positive outcomes from the evidence “In Hong Kong, an infographic for airway management for suspected COVID-19 patients was distributed via Twitter and WeChat, supporting healthcare workers across multiple countries”. This meant that social media has instead allowed people to learn the right information easily which contributed in limiting the spread of the disease. 3 – 4m L4 Both aspects L3 5m

L5 Similar / Different based on higher level comparisons like view / purpose Award 7m for well-supported answers. E.g.: Sources C and D are different in their views of how social media had impacted COVID-19. Source C has a negative view as it is critical of how social media had misled the general public. The source states “From our research we found out that more than 25% of the most viewed YouTube videos about COVID -19 contained misleading information, garnering over 62 million views worldwide. This means that misinformation about COVID-19 is reaching more individuals than in past public hea lth crises ” By continually emphasising how YouTube has misled the general public, it is obvious that C is blaming social media more. On the other hand, D has a positive view as it is supportive of the role of social media from the help that social media gave to medical healthcare workers in different areas like “providing emotional support for frontline healthcare workers who face significant psychological distress”. Moreover, D states about “ the potential of social media in healthcare” being something it can no longer put aside. This means that D is optimistic about the use of social media in managing pandemics. 6 - 7m
