Media Literacy Foundations

About this course

Every day you scroll past dozens of headlines, videos, posts and ads, and every one of them is trying to tell you something. This classroom gives you the basic skills to figure out what is really being said and who is saying it. You will learn what media literacy means, how the modern information ecosystem works, how to tell news from entertainment from advertising, and how to question any source with a few simple checks. You finish with a practical toolkit for curating a media diet that feeds your mind rather than just your attention. No background knowledge is needed, only curiosity and an open mind.
