UNESCO is looking for 15-20
volunteer tutors who wish to gain or enhance their experience and
knowledge on a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) in media and
information literacy (MIL).
UNESCO offers free online course for
youth (aged 15-25) on MIL, in partnership with Athabasca University and
the UNESCO-UNAOC University Network on Media and Information Literacy
and Intercultural Dialogue.
This entry-level MOOC will provide
youth with basic media and information competencies to become critical
citizens and agents of change. The course is designed to enable youth
to:
•
Understand why media and other information providers are important to development and democratic societies;
•
Recognise a need for information
and to locate, access, organise and critically evaluate information and
the content of media and other information providers;
•
Use and share information and
technology based on ethical principles or accepted standards of social
behaviour – in light of opportunities and potential risks;
•
Interact with media and other
information providers to freely express themselves, share their culture
and learn about other cultures, promote gender equality, and participate
in democratic and development activities.
Tutors would be requested to log into
the system and give feedback to students journals, questions and
assignments. Tutors and students will directly communicate.
The course will run for two months, and it would require about 2 hours per week.
If there are professors, associate
professors or tutors in universities, independent consultants, experts,
qualified MIL practitioners, and PhD students, pursuing a related field
of study that would like to volunteer to please send your
name, organizations affiliation, contact information and CV to
l.mustapha@unesco.org.
UNESCO is taking steps to offer the
course in multiple languages and to link on these on one Learning
Management System Platform. This will provide opportunities for future
cooperation.
Should you have any questions about the online MIL course, please send an email to
l.mustapha@unesco.org.
