Earlier this year, BENEDMO published their Top 10 media literacy interventions, consisting of usable Dutch-language materials (teaching packages, games, videos, etc.) that media literacy professionals can implement in their programs on disinformation. BENEDMO has been working on an update and expansion of this inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BENEDMO recommends the following 13 media literacy interventions<\/a> :<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the work on the previous inventory, new, promising materials were released that had not yet been included in this exploration.\u00a0The update concerns materials related to disinformation, which were released after the creation of the first database (July 2022).\u00a0The expansion includes materials that target \u201cnews literacy.\u201d\u00a0A\u00a0list of 18 interventions\u00a0<\/strong>was created through research and inquiries from media literacy experts within the BENEDMO consortium.\u00a0Because it concerns a Flemish-Dutch collaboration, both Flemish and Dutch interventions are included in this inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although there are several overviews of (educational) offerings, it is not easy for a teacher, librarian, youth worker or other media-savvy professional to gain insight into the usefulness of all these interventions. In addition, there is no generally recognised quality framework or quality mark with which these types of materials are assessed. To help them, BENEDMO selected a number of interventions that deserve a recommendation based on certain criteria and based on practical experience from the BENEDMO network. These criteria are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the above criteria, interventions were also rejected that did not appear to sufficiently relate to news literacy or disinformation, such as tools about phishing and safe internet use. Materials that do not provide guidance for media literacy professionals and teachers have also been eliminated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The 13 remaining interventions were submitted to a panel of education and media literacy experts from the BENEDMO network. The sounding board group was asked to critically examine the materials and ask themselves the following questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The members of the sounding board group awarded points (1 to 5) for each question.\u00a0They explained their scores in writing.\u00a0Material that scores a 3 or higher is added to the BENEDMO selection.\u00a0Experts did not review materials that they themselves contributed or developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
