Today, we can consume news and media faster and more easily than ever before. At the same time, the volume and speed of information can feel overwhelming and make it harder to know what to trust.
The growing availability of AI tools has changed how information is created, shared, and perceived online. This affects all of us, regardless of age or experience, and even people who consider themselves tech savvy or media literate.
This class offers a practical introduction to media literacy, including a breakdown of misinformation and disinformation with real-world examples. We will also cover tips and accessible tools to help identify AI-generated content, understand how algorithms shape what we see, and make more informed decisions about what to engage with and share.
