Online Training on Media & Information Literacy
Media literacy empowers students to apply critical thinking to media messages, enabling them to decode and analyze media messages effectively. It involves accessing diverse media sources, understanding the techniques used to influence audiences, and assessing the credibility and impact of media messages and creating their own messages. Media literacy helps us to understand the spread of misinformation by empowering students or individuals to distinguish what is credible from falsehoods. In today’s world, media is an integral part of our daily lives. Nonetheless, many people lack the knowledge and critical thinking skills required to understand and interpret information, and some are unaware of how media sources influence their opinions and decisions. Reviewing media literacy definitions, terminology, and real-world examples can help one improve their ability to decipher meaning. In fact, it is almost impossible to imagine modern education without an important component like media literacy.
