An information literacy course I teach at the University of Windsor, Information Searching and Analysis, tries to show students that the same phenomenon which makes us poor judges can also be turned around to make us better, more critical consumers of news and information.Rather, students learn to assess news based on the characteristics of a news story: multiple, adversarial sources, the use of statistics and data in which the sources are named and can be accessed independently, the kinds of advertising present and whether it is related to the story.However, I did not think it was as prominent as it was after the completion of the assignment.”“…relating to my personal life, this was the most important assignment.”“I think it was the most impactful and (will) stick with me the longest.”“It was an insanely enriching experience for me to pull my biases out of the woodwork, particularly for someone like myself who regards themselves as quite unbiased when it comes to anything.”“…extremely valuable was the consciousness I developed in regard to (how) social media was exclusively forming my opinions… I believe this is perhaps the most universal function of the class.”The course uses a flipped classroom approach.All the ways to engage in confirmation bias cannot be conveyed through a dry explanation of the concept.Media framingOver the rest of the semester students explore a social justice issue by looking at how interest groups, journalists and academic researchers have treated the issue."
