Critical Information/News Literacy and the Flipped Classroom: Student Evaluations of "Information Searching and Analysis"
Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, v75 n2 p210-225 Jun 2020
This article reports students' responses to a critical information literacy course. The course has two unique elements which differentiate it from other information and media literacy courses: an assignment about confirmation bias and a facilitating, rather than an "expert" role for faculty to play in the course. After a review of key course elements, analysis of students' anonymous reflection papers completed at the semester's end is detailed. The data show students enthusiastically embraced the course.
