Community college library faculty from Seattle Central College partnered with Seattle's Black Brilliance Research Project as part of a National Science Foundation grant focused on combating the spread of mis- and disinformation. Data from participatory design sessions with students informed the team's process and the creation of a curriculum toolkit. The toolkit is a group of lessons organized by themes including trust, accountability, identity, and politics & power. This session will actively include attendees in a participatory design process to learn about the team's research, explore the toolkit, solicit feedback, and share ideas on using and adapting the lessons.
Participants will: 1. consider ways to combat the spread of mis- and disinformation beyond information literacy skills like source evaluation. 2. review toolkit curriculum and envision ways to adapt lessons in their own classes. 3. give feedback to the presenters on strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for the curriculum.
