Greetings all – I hope you had a good spring break!
Is this fake news? Is this disinformation? Or is this truth and is this true information? And do I want to share it? This module explores the impact of misinformation on communities and individuals. The video lecture by Dr. Michele Villagran explores misinformation and resources to help make good decisions about what to share. Resources explore how our communities might encounter information and misinformation.
IMPORTANT: Review the post about LRM & blog action items.
Action Items:
- Our work will continue over the next few weeks as you work on the LRM, and then move on to the Research Paper.
- These assignments require careful attention to detail, synthesis of your research to course content, and finely crafted academic prose.
- Take each thing as a step in the process for the research paper: the LRM, blog posts, outlining your research paper.
