This module explores the transformative power of AI in academia and higher education, helping you understand the evolving landscape of AI in learning and its effective use.
You will sharpen your critical thinking by identifying common media biases, reflecting on your biases, and evaluating source credibility. You will explore the world of misinformation, spotting various forms, from misleading headlines to manipulated data and recognising the influence of social media algorithms and echo chambers in its spread. You will begin to develop an understanding of constructing well-supported counterarguments to misleading claims using evidence from credible sources.
