CHOOSING THE RIGHT ONLINE MEDIA LITERACY COURSE
Media literacy education is key to the fight against misinformation and is an essential component of good information communication. It assists in developing critical thinking skills and teaches us how to evaluate media messages, letting us decide for ourselves the truth, falsity, and/or bias of media communications in our professional and personal life.
There is no shortage of well-designed, quality ML online courses available and in recent years and months there has been an upsurge in the amount of online resources and training to choose from making it a challenge to find the most appropriate course for your needs. With that in mind, the MLI Training & Development Group is busy working behind the scenes to curate, review, and categorise a list of online media literacy courses. When we have completed this mammoth task the list will be published on the website. If you or your organisation would like to add any course to the list for review, or if you are looking for recommendations of medial literacy courses to suit a specific training need please let us know.
You can contact us at medialiteracy@bai.ie if you would like to submit a course for review or if you need help in choosing the right course for you.
