Library and Knowledge Services – Boost your skills for spotting false (health) information

The internet
and social media are full of facts and opinions. Most are balanced and
informative, but poor-quality health information can be misleading and can encourage
harmful behaviours.

This course
will give you the confidence and skillset to spot false health information.

What will I learn?

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Recognise what we mean by ‘critical understanding’ and ‘media literacy’ and how these can keep us safe online,
Recognise how poor-quality health information can impact us,
Implement strategies to assess the quality of (health) information,
Discover a range of trusted sources of health information and fact-checking.

We recommend you give yourself at least 60 minutes to work through the course.

You don’t have to complete the course in one go. You can pick up where you left off.
