Ahead of the e-Curve in Fact Checking and Verification Education: The University of Hong Kong’s Cyber News Verification Lab Leads Verification Education in Asia
The University of Hong Kong’s (HKU) ‘Cyber News Verification Lab’ was founded in June 2016, as a focused, experiential project developing undergraduates’ online verification skills. It has been hailed as ‘ahead of the curve’ in online and social media fact-checking education by the industry’s pioneering social media open source technologists and verification experts. In September 2016, Meedan (a founding partner of First Draft News including Google News Labs) joined the experiment by providing access and technical support to their open source verification platform called ‘Check’. The project led to a significant increase in the quality of verification techniques and critical thinking actions by students. This article discusses the curriculum design and initial findings from the Cyber News Verification Lab implemented into news literacy courses at HKU in Semester 2, 2016–2017. The article also outlines current developments towards a news literacy verification rating scale—that arose from measures created by the instructor to assess student outcomes from the experiential project.
期刊介绍：
Asia Pacific Media Educator is an international refereed journal published twice a year by SAGE Publications (New Delhi) in collaboration with the School of the Arts, English and Media, Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts, University of Wollongong in Australia. The journal follows international norms and procedures of blind peer reviewing by scholars representing a wide range of multi-disciplinary areas. APME focuses on generating discussions and dialogues among media educators, researchers and journalists. Content ranges from critical commentaries and essays to research reports and papers that contribute to journalism theory development and offer innovative ideas in improving the standard and currency of media reportage, teaching and training specific to the Asia Pacific region. Papers that integrate media theories with applications to professional practice, media training and journalism education are usually selected for peer review. APME also carries a Q&A section with book authors. APME takes conventional book reviews to a more creative level where reviewers directly engage with authors to understand the process that authors take in researching and writing the book, clarify their assumptions and pose critical questions.
