Description
Instructors may wonder how to best raise students’ awareness of the complex “fake news” landscape. In a graduate seminar on post-truth rhetoric, graduate students partnered with the library to develop tutorials to help undergraduate students think critically about the range of misinformation they may encounter. In this presentation, we will demo some of these tutorials, explain how instructors might incorporate them into their own courses, and show how librarians and instructors can collaborate to develop materials.
