About the Course

The media, in its broadest sense (including all forms of published information across all formats) dominates our lives and informs our decision making, It is therefore essential that young people are able to recognise the many ways this content influences and impacts us, and that they have the tools and skills required to become active and critical, rather than passive, consumers of information. In turn, it is important that young people who want to make an impact on the world around them and become advocates for positive change are able to harness the power of the media and content as a tool for influence. By the end of the course, learners should be able to better evaluate the information that they consume as well as be able to identify opportunities to contribute content to regional and global conversations.

    Hey there GCED Online Campus Team,

    I just wanted to give a shout-out to the Media and Information Literacy teacher (you rock!). The way you're equipping us with the tools to navigate the digital jungle is seriously empowering. Those core questions you're teaching us? Gold. It's like having a compass in the online wilderness. Keep up the awesome work. Your guidance is shaping us into savvy info-navigators!
