Media Literacy Courses

About Media Literacy Courses

We create hands-on, research-informed training so people can analyze content critically, verify claims, and communicate responsibly. Our programs prioritize practical workflows you can repeat under real constraints: time pressure, uncertainty, and competing narratives.

Mission
Turn skepticism into structured verification

Less guessing, more repeatable checks, with transparent uncertainty.

Method
Practice-first, feedback-driven

Micro-exercises, rubrics, and audits that mirror real-world tasks.

Trust & transparency
What we disclose, how we measure, how we improve
Course audits

Every cohort includes a structured reflection cycle and rubric-based feedback.

Per cohort
Template library

Reusable checklists for source evaluation, claim tracing, and disclosure statements.

Updated
Ethical guardrails

Consent, attribution, and minimizing harm are integrated in every exercise.

Timeline of our approach

Phase 1

Foundation

We distilled research into clear learning objectives and checklists for everyday use.

  • Define claims precisely (what, who, when, where).
  • Separate evidence from interpretation.
  • Track uncertainty explicitly.
Phase 2

Practice-first design

Each course includes guided practice, peer review, and feedback based on explicit criteria.

Micro-drills

5–10 minute verification tasks with clear pass/fail criteria.

Rubric feedback

Consistent evaluation of reasoning, evidence, and disclosure.

Phase 3

Real-world relevance

Assignments simulate authentic tasks: tracing a claim, evaluating sources, and disclosing uncertainty.

Scenario-based capstone

Learners investigate a fast-moving topic, build an evidence log, and publish a short report with citations and limitations.

Principles

Evidence over opinions

We rely on citations, transparent methods, and reproducible workflows.

Accessibility by default

Readable typography, keyboard-friendly modals, and inclusive content design.

Ethics and context

We prioritize consent, attribution, and contextual integrity in all activities.

Practical skill transfer

You will leave with actionable checklists and templates you can apply immediately.

Outcomes

Measurable capabilities you should demonstrate by the end of training, mapped to common real-life tasks.

Ask a question

Send a short message. We’ll respond with a recommended starting level and a sample verification exercise.

What happens after you submit

We send a short reply with a plan and a sample exercise.

1
We classify your goal

Verification, bias detection, ethical production, or audience trust.

2
We propose a pathway

Recommended module order + time estimate + difficulty.

3
We share a sample drill

A quick exercise you can try immediately, with an answer key.

Team principles
How we work to keep courses rigorous, clear, and fair.
Clarity beats cleverness

We teach workflows that are easy to follow, document, and audit.

Disclose assumptions

If a method relies on judgment calls, we label them and explain why.

Feedback is a system

Rubrics reduce ambiguity and make progress visible over time.
Methodology checklist
A compact verification workflow you can reuse.
Step 1
Define the claim

Write one sentence. Specify actors, time, and scope.

Step 2
Extract testable parts

Split into sub-claims you can verify independently.

Step 3
Triangulate sources

Prefer primary evidence; use independent confirmations.

Step 4
Document reasoning

Keep an evidence log with links, dates, and caveats.

Step 5
Publish with disclosure

State what you know, what you don’t, and what would change your conclusion.

Transparency policies
What we commit to in our teaching materials.
Citations and sourcing

When we reference studies or frameworks, we identify the source type (primary/secondary), link it in course materials, and explain what the source can and cannot support.

Corrections workflow

If an error is found, we log it, update the lesson, and add a visible note describing what changed and why. Learners receive a summary in the next cohort update.

Ethical boundaries

We do not teach techniques intended to harass, dox, or manipulate. Exercises use fictionalized or consented scenarios and emphasize minimizing harm.
