Abstract

Abstract: The sharing of false content is enhanced by social networks, manifesting itself as a threat to democracies, since it quickly gains adherence and transforms public opinion. This action is part of the phenomenon called networked information disorder. Therefore, media and information literacy become a key competence for the citizen in the digital age, who lives in a society where media are in convergence and have amplified reaching power on the Internet. The article aims: a) to verify if there are MOOCs that promote media and information literacy; b) to understand the technological, operational, thematic and pedagogical dimensions of these MOOCs. As results we find seven courses that address the skills of the competence in question, of which two were selected for an analytical description to recognize their potential as a resource for facing the phenomena of information disorder.

Keywords: MOOC. Media and information literacy. Information disorder. ICT. Active citizenship.
