Are you feeling the digital overload? With AI tools, social media, and the constant churn of misinformation, it’s easy to ask, “Wait… what?” when navigating the online world.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Media Literacy Week (hosted by MediaSmarts, October 27–31), a national event dedicated to answering those questions and promoting digital media literacy.
The U of A Library is joining the movement by offering two practical online workshops designed to help you become a more confident and critical digital citizen. Both sessions are open to the general public!
