Dates: November 12 – December 6
About: In this 3-hour course, participants will learn about research-based strategies for evaluating online information, with an emphasis on the skill of lateral reading. Participants will also explore free, research-backed curricular resources developed by the Digital Inquiry Group for teaching students these vital skills. The course will include one module: Search Like a Fact Checker with Lateral Reading.
Please note: The content of the two asynchronous courses will overlap, so educators should enroll in either the Civic Online Reasoning (3-Module Course) or the Basics of Evaluating Online Sources (1-Module Course), but not both.
