This meeting will look into the Learning to Teaching Identities manual, which provides an insight into non-formal education in using media and information to advocate for and foster both interpersonal and digital skills among adult educators. Media and information literacy has become an essential form of education and communication for people across the world to socialise, continuously learn, communicate, campaign, stay informed, and connected.
But with much misleading information, advocacy of hatred, and other types of online human rights violations observed in the media today, there is a need to learn how information and media are used to educate adult learners, and train adult educators how to help learners identify and address fake, manipulated information. The manual offers an understanding on fact-checking, along with the methodologies on how to identify and verify the original source of digital information online.
It introduces strategies for determining the authenticity of sources, photos, and videos, especially UGC shared via social networks. The manual reflects on the ability to conduct basic verification steps for visual content. It raises awareness among users of more advanced techniques and metadata that can be used in verification processes. Thus, if used together as a learning manual or independently, the manual can help refresh existing teaching manuals on media and information literacy in adult education or create new offerings. |
