Getting Started with Media Literacy
If you're looking to get your students basic, introductory media literacy instruction, our microcourses are a great place to start! The microcourse on media literacy introduces students to a definition of media literacy, an applicable approach to media literacy, and why it is important to develop our media literacy skills.
- Students receive a new badge for each completed micro course. There are microcourses focused on the other literacies that we support (data, information, and making). Complete all four and students receive the "Baylor University Libraries' Literacies" badge.
- Expected time commitment for the media literacy module is 10 minutes.
- Faculty will find instructions and prepared assignments in Canvas Commons (just search "literacies").
- Learners may self-enroll at: baylor.instructure.com/enroll/WWXKDL
