We hope that the blended learning course will empower intermediaries to address these topics with the groups they work with in order to create a sustainable impact on the media literacy skills of European citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SMaRT-EU – Social Media Resilience Toolkit –\u00a0 project is an intergenerational project providing tools, suggestions and resources to train young people, older people and also the intermediaries who work with them. In order to inform and develop the intermediaries who work with these groups the project team decided to create a short blended learning course on misinformation, fake news, algorithms, pedagogic attitudes, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before starting the development of the course we decided that it was important that participants could take the course at their own pace, that it was free to access by all, that participants should be free to follow only part of the course – choosing the topic that is most interesting for them, and that we should provide the possibility to quickly get some theoretical concepts and\/or to dive deeper providing extra exercises and tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The content of the course relies on many of the other outputs and lessons learned from the SMaRT-EU project, as well as the experience and knowledge of all partner organisations; for example the workshops and focus groups conducted with educators, youngsters and elderly people. You can also find some of the products that were developed during the project in the course, there are booklets on fact checking, expert interviews and a repository of existing tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We created 5 modules in the course:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We hope that the blended learning course will empower intermediaries to address these topics with the groups they work with in order to create a sustainable impact on the media literacy skills of European citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
