Fact or fake: Online fact checking

This is a Hybrid program - attend in person or virtually via Zoom. 

October 27-31 is Media Literacy Week, and we will be collaborating with Media Smarts - Canada's centre for digital and media literacy to help learn about the importance of media literacy and fact checking! 

In the age of mass information, information overload, viral fake news and newly proliferating Artificial Intelligence, how can you know what you are looking at is real, true and accurate? Join this class to learn about the “web of information”, and how you can untangle that web to become a confident fact-checker and trusted digital citizen. We'll learn about strategies and trusted tools you can use for verifying online information. 

Registration is required for virtual participation; the Zoom link will be sent to the email used to register. Registration is recommended for in-person attendance. Dropping in will be permitted if space allows. Each person must register individually.
