The University of Canberra is running a free professional development webinar for staff of Victorian public libraries.
Media literacy for the people: PLV professional development webinar
When: Friday 19th June, 11.00am – 12noon
The knowledge you need to help your patrons spot misinformation and find facts
With misinformation, deepfakes, AI and algorithms overwhelming the information environment, library patrons need media literacy more than ever before. In this professional development webinar, you’ll discover:
- What media literacy is and why it matters to your patrons
- How to put media literacy into everyday practice
- How to use the research-backed (and free) Stay Smart Online short course to help your patrons build their resilience to misinformation
- Where to get more information for LIS professionals.
University of Canberra researcher, author and journalist Saffron Howden will facilitate this practical session and discussion.
For those unable to attend in person, please register and you will be sent the recording.
I am unable to attend but would really like a recording sent to me to watch at work
