Newcomb Meeting RoomHave you ever encountered a public figure or news story claiming something that you weren?t sure about? Learn how you can fact check these claims.
Sometimes a statement from a public figure or organisation doesn’t sound quite right. In this introductory session we’ll learn the skills and techniques to discover the facts and assess the claim ourselves.
This is the last of a series of four workshops; the first is Knowing Your Sources Online, the second is Fact Checking Online Content and the third is AI Images and Deepfakes. These may be attended separately or together.
