Media Literacy Open Course

This set of ancillary materials supports the delivery of an Introduction to Media Literacy course as a graduate offering at the University of West Georgia. The course serves as an elective for students pursuing master's and educational specialist's degrees in Instructional Technology. The course provides foundational knowledge on media literacy elements and principles, as well as tools and applications. Furthermore, students learn how to apply the acquired knowledge to become media literate and a more discerning consumer of media artifacts — visuals, texts, videos, or a combination of various digital objects.
