Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course will address the following topics: distinction between media literacy and media education; analysis of media messages (languages, representations, typologies, technologies, audiences, producers); critical approach to information on social networks; fake news and conspiracy theories.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Because the media foster public opinion, shape our worldview and have a role to play in the construction of identity, teachers have to contribute, regardless of their subjects, to the education of responsible citizens and active spectators who are aware of the construction process of media-related messages.
The course will not, however, present a series of "pedagogical recipes". Rather, it will set out the possible paths which can stimulate a desire to learn about and with the media.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course will combine moments of collective analysis of visual documents (still and moving images) projected in the classroom and theoretical ex cathedra presentations.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Additional information:
The course will be divided into 5 sessions, each of which will address a particular type of media. Most of the theoretical notions will be presented on the basis of media document analysis involving active participation of the students. Attendance is therefore strongly recommended.
Classes will be held on Wednesdays from 6:00 to 8:30 pm in the GOTHOT room (Place du 20 août, Bât. A1).
Recommended or required readings
The ppt presentations will be available online (eCampus) after each session.
