Learning resources and teaching material for COVID19 mis/information

Following up on the last post about the Project Information Literacy report, they have published some associated learning and teaching resources as well: 

1. PIL's list of Covid-19 misinformation resources has selected resources under the headings. Resources for building activities: Readings: Podcasts: Videos: Resources related to photos, charts, and graphs: Background resources. These are chosen for a North American audience, but include some non-US materials. In fact one class exercise could be remaking the list so that it was better tailored to a particular set of students. https://projectinfolit.org/pubs/covid19-first-100-days/supplementary/misinformation-resources.html

2. Ideas and prompts for learning and teaching with a focus on Visual messaging of the coronavirus news story. There are discussion prompts, lists of probing questions and activities for each of the following aspects: Context; Inspect; Affect; Effect; Investigate, Reflect, Create. https://projectinfolit.org/pubs/covid19-first-100-days/visual-messaging/learning-resources.html
