This course is designed to help you identify misinformation, blunt its effects on you, and prevent it from spreading. It is based on the Learn to Discern (L2D) methodology that IREX, a global nonprofit organization, developed in 2015 in Ukraine to help citizens detect and fight Kremlin propaganda that was spreading throughout the information ecosystem.
course scope.

Since that time, as misinformation has increased as a global problem, IREX has continued to build media literacy skills through L2D in Ukraine, the US, and about a dozen other countries. L2D is practical, fun, easy to use and to teach to others, and specifically designed for the complex digital information age we live in. Research studies have shown that it is effective in building resilience to misinformation that holds up over time.

This course provides key background on the information age that
we live in. The course outlines how journalism has changed as it confronts the digital age and why this impacts our ability to access reliable, factual information. Additionally, the course delves into various ways that information can be manipulated and why the wiring of our brains makes us susceptible to manipulative information.
The course also teaches practical skills, including a technique to assess information consumption, tools and skills for visual and textual verification, and a powerful method to resist having your rational brain hijacked by provocative content.
Russia doesn’t actually care about Trump or the USA. He wants to disrupt sow confusion, chaos, and division.

He’s done this on the vaccine discussion, creating instigating rhetoric that fuels division on both sides.

He doesn’t care what the topic is, he wants to see the West implode.
