In today's digital environment, misinformation travels fast through social networks, digital platforms, and mainstream media. This course provides students with the tools and critical thinking techniques to identify and react to false information, particularly in educational environments. You will investigate how technology, user behaviour, and communication gaps help to spread disinformation and discover how to create resilience against it using practical techniques and ethical frameworks.
Designed for educators, institutional leaders, communication professionals, and students alike, this course reveals the far-reaching implications of fake news on the learning environment. Participants will find valuable methods to evaluate and combat false information by looking at high-profile incidents, such as the COVID-19 infodemic, and suggesting AI-powered detection tools and ethical media practices. Learners will acquire practical ideas on creating reliable communication strategies, controlling risk, and creating fact-based stories that promote confidence and clarity.
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to spearhead initiatives in their organisations and support correct, ethical communication. They will be able to maintain the integrity of learning environments, interact with audiences using consistent messages, and use verification procedures. This information can significantly improve professional positions in education, media, or public affairs. Ready to be a reliable voice in a loud digital age?
