Digital Media Literacy - What is Fake News?

# data[].attributes.body
The Internet is an incredible resource for news and information, but unfortunately not everything online is trustworthy. Fake news is any article or video containing untrue information disguised as a credible news source. While fake news is not unique to the Internet, it has recently become a big problem in today’s digital world.

Fake news typically comes from sites that specialize in bogus or sensationalized stories. It tends to use provocative headlines, like "Celebrity endorses not brushing teeth" or "Politician selling toxic waste on the black market". These headlines can seem suspicious or even unbelievable to the point of being silly, making it tempting to think of fake news as harmless.

What is fake news?

The Internet is an incredible resource for news and information, but unfortunately not everything online is trustworthy. Fake news is any article or video containing untrue information disguised as a credible news source. While fake news is not unique to the Internet, it has recently become a big problem in today's digital world.

Fake news typically comes from sites that specialize in bogus or sensationalized stories. It tends to use provocative headlines, like "Celebrity endorses not brushing teeth" or "Politician selling toxic waste on the black market". These headlines can seem suspicious or even unbelievable to the point of being silly, making it tempting to think of fake news as harmless.

In recent years, however, fake news has been responsible for a great deal of misinformation because more and more people have begun consuming and believing these articles without bothering to fact check or even read beyond the headlines. This acceptance of incorrect information has led to confusion, panic, and an inability to discuss the actual facts surrounding current events.

How did fake news become such a problem?

A fake news article is designed to outrage and shock, causing some readers to share it on Facebook, Twitter, or another type of social media platform without questioning it. Sharing the article exposes it to more people who may be outraged by it, who also share it without question, and so on. This cycle continues until a sizeable number of people believe this fake story is the truth.

Why do people write fake news?

Writers of fake news typically create it for one of two reasons: to fulfill a social agenda, like angering a population against a political opponent; or to earn advertising revenue through visits to their sites. Unfortunately, business is booming.

Just one fake news writer claimed to earn $10,000 per month from the advertising revenue of his articles, and he said he planned to keep writing until the money stopped coming in. With an unknown number of writers drafting multiple fake articles each day, the flood of bad information may continue for quite some time.

What's being done about it?

Online giants like and are attempting to crack down on fake news by banning suspicious sites from advertising on their platforms and asking users to report dishonest articles. However, many critics feel that Google, Facebook, and other online services still aren't doing enough.

Unfortunately, fake news writers will likely continue to create new sites and methods to get around any digital roadblocks. This means the best way to prevent fake news from spreading is to teach users how to identify fake news themselves. That means you!

How can I tell if an article is fake?

Fake articles can be difficult to spot at first, which is why it's good to develop a habit of checking the accuracy of any article you read, especially ones you find through social media. Here are some things you can do if you come across an article that seems fishy:

Enter the keywords of the story into a search engine and get a second opinion from a credible news site with verifiable sources.

Check the dates involved in the article. Fake news writers sometimes take a real story from the past, put an outrageous headline on it, and try to pass it off as a current event.

Find the source of the author's information for the article. Is the source credible?

Does the website's appearance look a little strange? Some fake news sites mimic the appearance of legitimate news sources, tricking the casual reader.

Take a look at the headlines of other stories from the same website. Are most of them hard to believe? Shocking? Inflammatory? If so, question the website's practices.

Is the article actually a joke? When we say fake news, we aren't talking about comedy sites like The Onion and ClickHole, which write humorous stories based on current events.

You can also confirm information at fact-checking sites like PolitiFact.com, FactCheck.org, and Snopes.com. These sources specialize in fact checking and debunking inaccurate stories and claims.

It takes time to make sure an article is honest and accurate, but fake news writers are hoping no one will check the accuracy of their work. Remember, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Take care before sharing articles online.

How to make students learn to filter fragmented information?

# data[].attributes.body
Now there is a lot of information in the network world, and these information are fragmented. When students are faced with such a large amount of information, they need to do the following: first, they need to select useful information. Then there is the need to filter out useless or even harmful information. Only in this way can students make the most of their time on the Internet.
So far, the best way I can think of is to slow down access to information. Don't rush to get information, such as tiktok short video platform, will waste students a lot of time. The channel for students to obtain information or knowledge should be to read the literature and works recognized by the academic community.

This video from Youtube is an interview of children about their imagination about ‘smart home’. I think the content of this video is  suitable for kids to watch. First of all, children's imagination is interesting and could inspire audience's interest.
In addition, the producer adds many interesting cartoons animations to show children’s cute mind about ‘smart home’, such as cute robot that can brush the cup. This is so lovely and could keep young audience focused.

Purpose: Let children understand some of the dangers of the Internet in an easy-to-understand way
Detailed content: Making a series of videos on Internet safety. The video compares the Internet to some food that children are familiar with, making the explanation easier. For example, if Internet security incidents are compared to food-related matters, for example, if some Internet virus products are compared to a kind of inferior sugar, some sugar will stick to people’s mouths and it will be difficult to chew. It means that these viruses will be in the computer, which is difficult to delete and affect security.

Lesson 4: Judging Online Information

/en/searchbetter/how-to-read-a-webpage/content/

How to judge online information

There is a newer version of this lesson. Go here to check it out.

If you're looking for information, the Internet has a lot of it. The problem is, you can't trust every website you find. You'll need to evaluate each website to decide whether it's reliable. Let's look at some of the questions you should ask yourself whenever you view a website.

Watch the video below to learn some tips for judging online information.

Is the information relevant?

No matter how good a website is, you should always ask yourself whether it contains the information you're looking for. Remember, just because the site comes up in a Google search doesn't mean it's relevant. For example, if you're searching for information about the history of skateboards, a site that sells skateboards may not have what you're looking for.

What is the site's purpose?

There are many types of sites on the Internet. Encyclopedias, online stores, blogs, and humor sites all have different purposes. Determining the site's purpose can help you decide how reliable it is.

Check the About page to see what the site's purpose is. Keep in mind, if a site wants to conceal its true purpose, the About page may be misleading.

What is the site's audience? You may be able to tell based on the tone and the topics it focuses on.

Is the site trying to persuade you to buy or do something?

Sometimes a site's purpose may not be obvious at first glance. For example, The Onion may appear to be a news site, but it's actually a humor site.

Is the site biased?

In order to get the most reliable information, it's best to stick to unbiased sources. News organizations, encyclopedias, and other sources have traditionally tried to stay unbiased. This helps them build a reputation as a trusted source.

Most websites don't try to stay unbiased like a newspaper would. And that's OK for casual web browsing. However, if you're trying to find reliable information, it can be a real problem. For example, if a news blog is biased, it may distort the story or leave out important information.

How much opinion does the site have? Is it enough to raise a red flag?

Many sites have ads. Although ads usually don't mean the site is biased, on some sites the majority of ads may have a political or ideological bias. This can be a clue that the site itself is biased.

Look at some of the other pages on the site. Does there seem to be a bias to the site as a whole?

If you're not sure whether the information is correct, try searching for it on Google. This can often reveal whether it is a hoax, scam, or common misconception.

What is the site's top-level domain?

Every web address has a top-level domain. Some common examples are .com, .org, .gov, and .edu, although there are many more.

.gov is a government site. These are usually reliable.

.edu can be a school, college, or university. However, some webpages could be student projects, and these are not always reliable. Try to determine whether the page was written by a student, teacher, or the school administration.

.org is an organization. Depending on the organization's mission, it could be biased or unbiased. Try to find more information about the organization and its purpose.

.com is typically used by commercial sites. However, it's also used by many other types of sites, so it doesn't really tell you whether a site is reliable.

Is the author reliable?

Online articles don't always say who the author is. This doesn't mean these sites are less reliable. However, if there is an author listed, it's a good idea to find out more information about the author.

Does the author have credentials that make them more reliable?

Has the author written other articles or books? Are they biased or unbiased?

Keep in mind, even if the author isn't an expert, they can still be reliable as long as they do careful research. For example, a librarian might write an excellent article about biology, even if she doesn't have a science background.

Is the information current?

Many websites will include a date at the top or bottom of an article. This can tell you how current the information is. For some subjects (such as biographies of historical figures), this may not matter as much. However, for technology, news, politics, and other subjects, it may be important to have the most current information available.

In the example below, the article is talking about an older version of the iPad, so it may not be relevant if you're thinking of buying a new one.

Does the site have a good reputation?

You can't always rely on the site itself because many sites try hard to disguise their purpose. You may need to get a second opinion-in other words, see what other people are saying about the website.

Try searching Google for the name of the site or organization. Keep in mind, you may not find any second opinions about the site, and that's OK.

What do other sites say about the site (if anything)?

Is the site generally seen as a biased or unreliable source?

Practice evaluating websites

Evaluating websites takes practice. We've already looked at some basic techniques you can use, but these techniques may not work on every website you find. You'll often need to use your critical thinking skills to make a good judgment.

Click the arrows in the slideshow below to see an example of how you can judge a website.

Verifying information with Snopes

Let's say your friend sends you an email containing an amazing "fact" or story. Even if you trust your friend, it doesn't mean the email is true. Chain emails can quickly spread around the world, and they often contain misinformation, hoaxes, political propaganda, and worse. Instead of simply forwarding the email to your other friends, take a moment to verify that the information is true.

One of the easiest ways to do this is to go to snopes.com and search for the story. Snopes is a well-known and trusted source for verifying Internet rumors. A typical Snopes entry will tell you whether the information is true or false, and it will also tell you where the story originated.

Go to DHMO.org to help determine whether the information is reliable.

What is the purpose of the site?

Is dihydrogen monoxide a real substance? Do you think it should be banned?

Can you find other websites that support the claims made by DHMO.org?

Is Wikipedia reliable?

Depending on who you ask, you may get very different answers about whether Wikipedia is reliable:

Yes! It's a better source of information than most websites, and it's a good starting point for research.

No! Anyone can add or change information, even if they don't know what they're talking about.

The truth is, it depends on how you use Wikipedia. It can be a great starting point for your research, but you shouldn't assume all of the information is true. Instead, use the references at the bottom of an article to find the original sources. Then you'll need to evaluate these sources to see whether they are reliable.

Keep in mind that some Wikipedia articles are better than others. For example, try comparing the following two articles:

The Bicycle article is well-organized and contains numerous references at the bottom. This is because many different people have worked on the article, and it has gone through many revisions.

The Andean new age music article does not contain any references, so it's difficult to know whether it's reliable.

Using multiple sources

No matter what type of research you're doing, it's important to look at multiple sources. Even a reliable website may not include all of the relevant information. Using multiple sources allows you to see all sides of a story, which gives you a better perspective than if you had only looked at one source.

My inspiration for DMIL group activities comes from an online game to sort books on time(the link is cited below). The purpose is to let students understand Dewey decimal system and help them get the book information they need faster.

According to this game I made some adjustments to my own activity:
1. Set the game scene: 3 members belong to a librarian team, but it's ten minutes before they get off work today.
2. Rules of the game: the librarian team should drag and drop the books to the correct order according to the bookshelf number before work.
3. Once the countdown starts, the shelf number will appear at the bottom of the book picture.

The game is called 'Boomerang Fu' and here is the description and download site.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/965680/Boomerang_Fu/
This game is a physics-based multiplayer game with very cute animated characters, where players can add their favourite food targets and defeat their opponents by grilling, freezing and other methods, as well as using props such as explosions and disguises to combine them in the battle. And there are over 30 arenas in the game, filled with plenty of props and various types of mechanisms to provide informal physics learning for the little ones.

I've seen a study from the National Literacy Foundation in the UK on 11-16 year olds which showed that 73% of those who don't want to read say they would prefer to experience knowledge from the world of games; a physics mini-game like this meets their love of games and their need for physics knowledge at this age.

Step 1: "Should I be using Google or the Library resources for a paper?" - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8-4n7I2zOM

Students first determine the type of literature they need to search, and in the search results, compare the advantages and disadvantages of the resources in the school library with those in the search engine.(For example, search engines are fast and easy but source uncertain, and libraries have help from librarians and lots of academic resources.

The second step: "What are the library databases and which one should I use?" - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgwloQ5b0xw

This activity helped students prepare their papers outside the classroom and also taught them to look at search sources dialectically versus library sources.

A video on how to evaluate sources of information on the Internet

# data[].attributes.body
This video mainly educates the public to assess the authority and opinions of the individual or organization providing the information. Put forward three considerations for judging whether an individual or an organization is authoritative. First, check the author or the author’s professional background to determine whether he is really qualified to speak on a topic. Second, check how they generated this information-face-to-face interviews? Questionnaire? If it is a news organization, does it disclose news ethics, philosophy and methodology? Third, use a system that can correct them even if they find errors, for example, check whether there are comments that correct the errors. Check whether you have taken the wrong report seriously and corrected it (why reported the error and what adjustments have been made to avoid the same problem).

In addition, the video also suggests that there is no need to rush to deny the views of individuals in the information. But when words such as opinion, analysis, perspective, viewpoint, etc. appear, they should be convincing, not just provide information.

Formal news headlines generally do not carry personal opinions, but there are personal tendencies in informal environments such as videos.

I found this video that teaches children the use of importance of the library. It prepares them on what to do and expect before going to one. It talks about the history of the library and how it started many years ago. It included information about what the child can do at the library e.g. read books, use the computers and if one does not know what they are looking for or how to find the information they can ask the librarian for help.

The game to help people identify fake news

# data[].attributes.body
Bad News is a game developed by a group of European researchers and journalists to identify fake news. The main target group is people aged 15 to 36. The game helps them learn more about the distribution of fake news and helps them resist deception and misinformation in the long term.

In this game, players take on the role of makers of misinformation and fake news by distorting the truth, lying and distracting their virtual Twitter followers. By getting in touch with the production process of these fake news and helping them gain hands-on experience, people can improve their understanding of the distribution practice of fake news and their immunity to fake news.

There are two other games to help identify fake news presented in this link. https://www.cits.ucsb.edu/fake-news/protecting-ourselves-teach

Although two methods are introduced in the video, the second method requires a special device and may not suitable for everyone, focus on the first one is enough.

In this way, you should turn off all the lights in the room, then turn on the camera of your phone. The phone can detect infrared light emitted by the hidden camera, which is invisible to the human eye. However, your phone can only detect hidden cameras with night vision and will not work with regular ones.

The idea of this online game is to teach early teens how to be good digital citizens . The idea of digital citizenship is basically taking the same ideas or attributes of being a good 'citizen' within society and transferring this into a digital context. So for example being a good digital citizen would mean following the law by not doing anything illegal online e.g. pirating movies; it can also mean knowing how to stay safe e.g. not accepting friend requests from unknown persons or it can also mean not signing up to websites etc. without reading the terms and conditions. These are just a few examples.

In this game called 'Digital Compass' by Common Sense Media you are can play as different characters, who you have to help make the right choices in order to be a good digital citizen and be responsible online etc. It's a fun way to see how in our modern technological age, digital literacy plays a big part and knowing the necessary skills to navigate the digital landscape it more essential than ever!

Activity: Enjoy a day without digital staff with your children.
Aim: The activity is designed for the parents and their children to experience how digitial staffs influence their life. Since in most of the time, digital staffs cannot be removed in the relationship between parents and students, it is a good chance for them to know what their relationship might be without digitial techonoolgy. Therefore, they can figure out how digitial technology can be properly used in this relationship.
Detail: The parents and children will be asked to forbid smartphone, ipad or comuputer use in that day. They can have their own plans of that day. And the parents should spend their time with the children, so weekend or holiday would be preferred.

I have found a video in which a mum introduced some tips that she suggested for the children to entertain themselves without technology. Some of the activities are inspiring that may develop into a training of parents.

This video shows how a residential care home in London teaches inexperienced older people digital skills.

The approach taken by this community is to encourage social interaction and create a supportive, friendly and family-like environment, which they believe is important. Rather than teaching some specialist knowledge directly in a library or other training institution, this place starts by developing an interest, such as drawing on a tablet, so that they want to do something creative in their drawing.

What is unique here is that the young people teaching the skills take on the role of mentors, peers and friends, accompanying the older people as they explore these skills with them and offering support and encouragement.

Super Topic Community is one of the core functions of Weibo, it helps users to establish communities in any topic. I think the activities of self-motivated learning or topic free exploration by using this function is a good idea, because of below reasons:

1. Weibo is the biggest Chinese social media. When students use super topic community to explore their topic by themselves, they will receive huge amount of related news and people’s comments. The media literature can be trained.

2. Personal information systems of users in Weibo can help students distinguish whether the post is credible or not credible. Most of industry authority, professor or celebrities can get the certification from Weibo, to a certain extent help distinguish the message. In the distinguish process, students’ information literature can be trained.

3. In addition to Super Topic Community, Weibo also including lots of other function which link to other website, even different facilities. If students want to experience or use them in a enjoyable way, they need try to learn how to use these related technology and websites, which is great for their technology literature and information literature.

Chen Xiaohui., Hu Ping.,and Ma Yutong.(2021) potined that knowledge disseminator' activities  on Q&A knowledge community has a positive impact on knowledge dissemination. Due to selection mechanism for social software, disseminators must provide professional and trustworthy knowledge. A high-quality answer will help the communicator gain a certain degree of popularity and recognition.The recipient will gain expertise in a field they are not familiar with. In addition, NYSE:ZH emerged as a social software, so its audience is wide. There is no limitation in the applicable population.
Therefore, I think that It is beneficial to non-professionals gains professional knowledge online in free time .This is conducive to improving information literacy.

The starting point would be with with JJ Gibson's initial conceptualisation of the concept through Norman's application of it to the design function, to EJ Gibson's interpretation of JJ Gibson's initial conceptualisation.....confusing isnt it. The core issue would be how did the nature of the concept evolved and change through these different lenses and what does it mean for learing and the affordances of techology? The ultimate goal would be the generation of an analytical framework that allows for the analysis of affordances to be carried out. The video would provide an asyncronous means of delivering material that could then form the basis of group-based discussion.

“What is Media Literacy?” By Simone Wagner.
Available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD9jhj6tM50

This is very short video that introduces about media literacy. It is a thesis project for Design and Technology at Parsons School of Design Spring 2014 produced by Simone Wagner. I would like to recommend it for secondary school students because the video is very easy to follow and understand for someone who has never heard of media literacy. The video is only two and a half minute which is not too long for students to lose their attention. The producer tries to make the design more interesting and interactive by adopting a multimedia learning approach which combines narration and animation together to deliver the information through both verbal and pictorial channels to provide the students better explanation on the subject matter.The video gives some practical questions that students can ask themselves when they encounter media message. However, the video does not give any concrete definitions or frameworks . So, I think it can be used as an entry video to introduce the idea of being media literate and raise the student’s interest about this field. There are other types of educational video about media literacy on YouTube that are good resources to refer as an informal learning environment which is very cost efficient for teachers and flexible in time for students to watch at any time they want.

The “room escape” game for information literacy

# data[].attributes.body
The “room escape” game requires players to escape from imprisonment by exploring their physical surroundings.In the participants’ version of the IL game, called “Library Escape”, players need to solve IL mysteries using various in-game clues within a one-hour time limit to escape from a deserted library building. The
library building consists of multiple floors and rooms.Each room consists of a locked door, several objects to manipulate, and hidden clues or secret compartments.So players must remember the directions that they have entered to save time. IL
knowledge is acquired by exploring the objects and answering questions correctly.

A web app and mail-based intervention designed to promote eHealth Literacy skills in older learners

A web app and mail-based intervention designed to promote eHealth Literacy skills in older learners

# data[].attributes.body
[John-Paul Mills]

Across the literature on eHealth Literacy in older adults, many interventions follow a formal/teacher-centred pedagogy or a individual/learner-centred pedagogy, both of which often occur in a classroom setting (Rasi et al., 2021). It can be argued that this is likely due to a teacher being seen as the essential element in supporting learners with 'conventional' or 'content' literacy with regards to using an Internet-enabled device to seek health information.

However, as an example of an intervention which went beyond the classroom setting, Manafo & Wong (2012) studied older adults' use of eSEARCH - an online eHealth search tool designed to build eHealth Literacy skills and confidence in older persons. Its core functionality involves guiding users through questions which helps the tool present pathways to the user to help them search for information that is relevant to them. It mimicked an open web search, but was highly simplified in its interface, and navigation. eSEARCH was supplemented with mail-sent resources including a factsheet on eHealth Literacy, a guide to older adults' information-seeking behaviour and a case-study that learners had to work through. There was also an eHealth Literacy Assessment Scale provided for learners to report on their experience.

The design of eSEARCH in i) being accessible remotely and ii) being designed for independent study should be recognised for its attempt at solving the problem of helping older persons become more informationally literate and digitally literate concurrently. The tool itself took the burden of promoting a 'conventional' digital literacy by its simulation of an open search (thus no formal instruction was needed), but in truth keeping learners within fairly narrow parameters. Everything was learner-paced. Furthermore, the supplementary materials promoted a more 'emergent' form of information literacy in how they encouraged learners to identify the impact and of eHealth Literacy in the older population.

I'm really interested in the potential for interventions like these which promote IL/DL using platforms/apps which are 'sandbox' environments for simulating real-world information searching practices.

Whether you’re a high-level executive or an administrative assistant, developing your presentation skills is one key way to climb in an office-based job. Presentation skills refer to all the qualities you need to create and deliver a clear and effective presentation. A good presentation integrate visualization and clear content.However, a lot of new comers have few knowledges of doing presentation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTxmRkpiEUU&t=2s

This is a short video that introduces what does IL mean to health professionals. It involves some practical tips for professionals to follow during an outpatient encounter. For example, how to communicate and observe patients' reactions, how to present health information with the help of audio-visual materials, etc. The suggested approaches don't involve high techs, so they are suitable for junior doctors as well as medical students to develop their IL at the very beginning.

In addition, the video listed the references at the end, which is of great help because the video is therefore become more 'academic', and audience can search for these articles for further understanding.

CluedUpp is an app based outdoor adventure game, usually as a virtual murder mystery game. Using a smartphone app, your team is a group of detectives who need to go all over the city hunting down virtual witnesses, eliminating suspects and cracking the case.

I have played with game with friends in Manchester and it was fun and engaging. You see other teams dressed up and the fastest group to solve the murder on a league table wins.

The combination of an app based game and using the city or town around you would make an interesting DIML teaching activity. It could be adapted to a specific target audience and the themes linked to a specific literacy that the students need to find out as a group.

"The Everlasting Regret" is an game with an oriental aesthetic produced by Lightspeed & Quantum Studios and published by Tencent Games.

The background of the story uses a long narrative poem of the same name by the Tang dynasty poet Bai Juyi which students in the eleventh grade of Chinese high schools are required to study.The app uses a variety of multimedia functions, including text, audio, images, animations and game interaction to show us how great the Tang Dynasty existed over a thousand years ago.

This app “The Everlasting Regret” can help Chinese high school students to better understand the content of their textbooks through playing. It means that the application can aid teaching and improve students' understating skills and that the beautiful paintings also motivate and inspire students, which in effect reduces the pressure faced by teachers.

Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVeRlhG9gB8

Group: university students
This video on Youtube I found is about teaching university students how to reference in Harvard style in 1 minute. Referencing is of great importance for university students but it was confusing and sometimes students don't get such introduction in formal class. This video is simple and clear. Examples used in the video are also easy to understand and quite helpful.

Shadow a colleague - practice in context

# data[].attributes.body
Shadowing someone is one of the best ways to see how people actually do their job. If you ask someone to describe their practice, there are many amazing things that have become so ingrained that they don't realise that they do them anymore. Shadowing gives you a chance to see these automated yet impactful practices in context.

Establish why you are there: are you helping or just observing?

Establish which aspect(s) of their professional practice you are observing. You are not there to critique everything.

Offer to share what you observe with the person and also make it clear you will not share with anyone else without permission.

Reciprocate - offer them the chance to shadow you.

I would like to introduce a video on YouTube, which is produced and posted by the University of Manchester Library about the services provided by the library staff. I think the target audience for this video is the first-year students at the University of Manchester, who is not familiar with the library services. This video is just four minutes long, but through the narrative presentations from real library staff, as well as interviewing students on campus who have sought help from library staff about their feelings and their experiences, target audience can quickly obtain information about library services, and then, because they are inspired by the real successful experiences of their predecessors, they are more likely to actually use these services.

This company make loads of different games - from individual digital games to board games to play in workplace teams that encourage the development of a community of practice and knowledge sharing without the need of much facilitation by a teacher or trainer. Lots of the games focus on health care professions, so would be good for doctors/nurses/care staff.

Encourage workplace IL.
