We’re developing a MOOC — a massive open online course — on news and media literacy. The course (here’s the registration page) will be based on an online course I currently teach at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, and will be open to all who are interested, at no charge.
You can follow our progress on this site’s blog, in this category.
The MOOC, which has received funding from the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, will be hosted at edX, one of the major–and rapidly growing–course platforms. ASU has become a member of the edX university consortium, and this is the first offering from the school. The course launches July 6, and registration is open now.
Just started! Looks to be great.
Have you read The Filter Bubble by Eli Pariser?
Absolutely — a terrific book. Eli’s been doing some of the most important thinking in this arena.
Hi Dan,
it seems some links on this page are broken. The Cronkite school, the McCormick Foundation and the edx link don’t work, because of the extra pair of double quotes around them.
Thanks for all your work you share with us.
Thomas
Thanks for the heads-up — fixed now.
