Media and Misinformation

20th January 11:00 to 12:00
This workshop explores why understanding and evaluating information is important to our personal and professional lives. We will show you how to recognise information biases and identify ways of verifying information (including AI information).
This activity is offered as part of Future Me Week - five days of exciting opportunities to develop your skills, deepen understanding, gain experience and take steps towards an exciting Future You.

This library session empowers participants to consider the opportunities and challenges of information in today’s fast-paced digital landscape, including the rise of generative AI. We delve into the impact of misinformation on careers, collaboration and connectivity helping attendees discern reliable sources, critically evaluate content, and develop media literacy skills.

This session will explore practical tips on how to evaluate online and AI generated information. It will identify factors that might influence the way we interact, collaborate and connect with information to help us in the decision-making process. We will discuss the importance of making informed media and information choices in our personal and professional lives. This session will ensure attendees feel confident and positive about encountering and using digital and AI generated information in a challenging online world.

This workshop will take place on Microsoft Teams.

You can find out more information about using Teams, including how to install it on your personal device, on our Teams support page.
