Hey @Sacha_Altay ! I wanted to reach out to an expert as I am studying the topic of misinformation online in EM203 at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, ON. I would love some tips/insight that might help me further in my research. Thanks!

Misinformation and disinformation online is a major issue in our digital age.

If you do not direct your attention, it will be directed for you.

@EM203geddlesto Grace, are you familiar with the concern of misinformation online? I’ve learned a lot about this from my groups concept map. Misinformation can lead to mass hysteria, health risks and trust issues with the media. Do your best to keep yourself informed!

[Arman Bhullar @armanbhullar123]

@EM203ConorJ Hey Conor, I’ve learned that misinformation on social media is very concerning as it can lead to mass hysteria/fear, potential health risks, and an overall misinformed population. This is an interesting topic, do your best to stay informed online!

[Arman Bhullar @armanbhullar123]

Something I’ve learned from concept maps this week is how social media may lead to misinformation. This is usually caused by lack of fat checking, algorithm bias and speed sharing. It can lead to public hysteria and political polarization, affecting almost everyone in the world.

@EM203MDwyer Hey there, these topics have been eye opening to learn for me as well. It is very important to be digitally literate in today's world.

[Arman Bhullar @armanbhullar123]

@EM203SamBurke Sam, the lessons I've already learned in this course so far have been great. I am as excited as you are for what's coming in this course!

[Arman Bhullar @armanbhullar123]

@EM203kburton Kayla, I agree with the idea that the 3 M's is a direct contributor to decline in attention spans. I can't wait to learn more!

[Arman Bhullar @armanbhullar123]

@EM203geddlesto Grace, it has been a fulfilling experience to step outside my comfort zone as well. Collaboration is key! And I cannot wait to keep collaborating.

@EM203ConorJ Conor, I am learning a lot in EM203 as well! Constructivism is very interesting to learn about!

[Arman Bhullar @armanbhullar123]

I have enjoyed EM203 thus far, as well as my findings so far of: how complex learning is in a digital age, how the digital age promotes a multitasking environment, and how valuable digital literacy is in todays world. #EM203Robin
