Okay
how's the sound today good
great
so I forgot my phone at home. So I'm doing recording on my laptop
instead of my phone and we're not going to watch otter.ai is
transcribing the whole thing.
But I still don't have my camera so somebody can take pictures of
the board and send them to me then I can post them
CES
so I wrote down let's talk about assignments. But first let's
talk about groups for the classwork groups. So there's a
link for attendance if you want to record your attendance here
today.
I want to bring your attention to an event taking place in four
weeks. Not the midterm for the class, which is also in four
weeks. But a virtual presentation we have a series
called Computer Science alumni and friends. So I've arranged
for a friend of the University of Regina to who's also my
friend from SFU. At 7pm via zoom, Tim Belcher who's a
technical art director at Electronic Arts. We'll talk
about his career in film and games, merging tech and art. So
he's worked at ILM
on some Star Wars movies, Dr.
Strange, other Marvel movies and some well known games as well.
Also.
So it's unzoom and we'd like you to register ahead of time so you
can find details of that Facebook event link.
So I invite you to consider attending that I think it'll be
interesting okay. So that's that's that
crossword moves.
Want to say that the classroom groups aren't supposed to be
there just a way to get people organized to talk in class.
is. I don't want to make a bigger thing than
what we have.
Here notes shift.
A small group of students class discussions and so forth.
Three. Okay, so we have
already marks for assignments, so do a professional skills
assessment that's an individual Simon Darby worth 50 marks
create an infographic
so let me
most sitting there is tempting always. Even though it's not
connected to the computer that I'm using.
Okay, so professional skills assessment. We use the skills
framework for the Information Age Sofia. So you can assess
your professional skills. So there'll be an individual
assignment. So to get started, there's a few
links here.
So I'm asking you to get a free membership student membership
and Kipps. Let's look at that
so you need to select Saskatchewan. You want to be
kept Saskatchewan student
and then here you input your information.
So there's a note about COVID ethics and eligibility
confirmation so you're certifying that you're a full
time student and a recognized educational institution
so yes, we're accredited by Kipps.
So you can certify that
and then the second part is I hereby affirm that I subscribe
to the purposes of Eclipse and adhere to the Eclipse Code of
Ethics and Standards of Conduct and understand that my
membership is not transferable not refundable.
So it's $0. So the non refundable part is I wish I knew
where to stand so I wouldn't get the feedback. Oh, keep
experimenting. Speakers
I'm not very close to the speakers. So anyway. So you need
to initial that. Let's just take a look at the Eclipse Code of
Ethics page.
You so there's there are two versions here. So there's the
code of ethics and standards of contact conduct from June of
2018. And the kips ethical ethics exam is based on the 2018
version
so this is the 2022 version of being approved by provincial
authorities.
The 2022 version.
borrows a lot from the ACM Code of Ethics this code is adapted
from the ACM code of ethics and professional conduct.
So if you're familiar with that, then you can initial that spot
on the application.
So your graduation date expected student number
University of Regina and the program if you're doing a
Bachelors of Science in Computer Science or something else
maybe it's it's easiest just to say bachelor science computer
science four years
and then contact information and you can choose whether or not to
be listed in the directory so that's step one is up seem okay.
Then once you're received notification that your
membership has been accepted there's more you access the
SOFIA tool assessment tool.
So assess your current IT skills. This is not the link
that gets you to the tool
I wonder if that was anyway, it gives you some information about
the responsibilities and the latest version of the framework.
So get started, assess your IT skills and plan your IT career
that's the one they need to click on.
So here's me
you can see my smiling face there
so I've already completed the questionnaires. So now I'm in
the planning stage. So hi. I'm going to update this and I'll
share it with you
as I get further along
so here's skilled this Sofia skills profile and gaps
so the questionnaire to start with is
let's see
Don't worry about your answers. To the questionnaire getting
them precise the specified because you can go back in this
stage and edit them.
So maybe they understood a little
bit better than what the questionnaire was going for. If
I had done the training that I did after the fact then I
wouldn't have
selected multiple levels
so I need to review this and clean it up a bit
so once you're done the questionnaire then this will
give you a better chance to to read is to refine your skills
assessment.
So this is the course that might have been helpful for me to look
at.
So it's called skills to extra personal career development. And
you can get a certificate at the end of it. Yes. So
go through all this stuff was that once we complete like the X
rays of the sections that were given 15 marks are we doing
something with taking six
USD worth of the two marks we're getting are we doing the sips
and then you can look at our profile marks and we're doing a
reading assessment on
how so when you say sips prancing kipsang With a soft
fussy
okay yeah, so there are a few things here.
All
there are a few things that can be submitted as indications
you've done the whole process. And so I'll detail that collect
those outputs, and then that will be graded
so it's basically doing the Kipps membership but then
through the Eclipse membership you get access to the SOFIA
framework tools. To assess your own personal professional skills
so
so you'll be
you'll have your skills assessment, and then there's a
way to look to identify gaps for the the career that interests
you. So I will detail all the steps, all the deliverables have
artifacts to submit. So doing the process and collecting all
this the outputs of the process you'll get a mark based on that
does that make sense?
So then the other assignment is about creating an infographic
and that can be done
in groups of four up to groups of four
so you can see which group you're in. So I've made groups
everyone's in their own group to start with.
So I picked someone at random to piggyback on
my apologies to hear Cara.
So the key is
if you want to make a group of somebody
so you want to work with our groups
so one of the ones to say and you want to work 345 So send a
note to me that you will solidly 234234 and five July when I'll
make that change, we'll go forward from there
so I'll have much more detail about the process. So the idea
idea is that you do research about a topic that's current
based on our our course discussions and and things that
are appearing in the news.
Something that's topical related to society ethics and
professionalism.
And you research so as someone who despite appearing sad but
instead of writing
100 words expressing those ideas and ventures so it's really a
poster so we'll create an infographic which is
are so good, reliable sources
it still requires research and development this session is
different. And I say that's.
Time to write
this will give you a different perspective perhaps.
Okay, does that make sense? About the possibility to work in
groups? Yes.
So how's that established for each of these assignments?
Yes. Well I was contracted for us so give us the class. Your
preference.
Me check their dates
2008
Evening Friday
feel that there
are too many individual lines later or hostile work is also
so, last choice of courses for that
you
finalize articulating what you'd like to explore and encouraging
to the semester
the things
from time to time
just chatting
so
far still encouraging
was your silence was saying at the price
we need to recycle these paper in your description
you so in terms of evaluating sources I found this
sources very information it's not without informed moves in
the academic set, start, investigate the source, find
better coverage and trace claim schools and we have the original
context
so your time
groundbreaking story was stopped before we this is the truth and
evaluate so source say what is the source beforehand before
reading the article
so, there's a video here I believe. Again I keep lying to
you. Okay, so let's try this
Okay, that should be set up
fascinating one, a simple set of rules that continue to do the
same for all nations
Some people wonder what does it matter Thanks for your comments
and we'll see you
soon my name is the best possible
to CES this year is the first lesson and you see this this is
the American Academy of Pediatrics. The American Academy
of Pediatrics is an organization found with like 30s funding of
something like e million 60,000 members considered by
pediatricians, scientists and governments as one of the
premier authorities on the health and well being. Okay, on
the other hand, this is the American College of
Pediatricians. So the American College of Pediatricians was
founded to protest the adoption of children by same sex couples.
It's not a professional organization is considered by
many to be reasonable shipping. So these two sides are from
different universities and it should be pretty easy to tell
them apart, right? So Stanford researchers recently looked at
just that issue. They took three sets of people, Stanford
students, professional historians, and professional
fact checkers second down from here and gave them five minutes
to figure out ways to be more credible source. So how do they
do? Well, the answer is not very well, first of some of the
historians, half of the stories couldn't say for sure we just
like before pregnancy. The Stanford students have been aged
65% actually chose the website considered by many to be a site
as the war credible source. Finally, we have professional
fact checkers. Professional fact checkers 100% of men right in
order to behave right we've got a lot of people will the other
groups use it for five minutes respect gender status, right? Is
sentence. So what accounts for make difference? The fact
checkers they use a set of skills that are women need a set
of skills that help them very quickly get to the truth of
matter. I want to show you how to use those skills and that's
what we're going to start to do.
Our first video
talk about how factors help form social smartest people listen to
at work should be one of the techniques you use to listen
back to original. Hey, we're looking at these two sites. One
of them was respected professional organization, one
of them was considered by me to be basically a heat site, right.
So how can the fact checkers quickly discern that? Now this
makes observed listen, he came to the speech the American
College of Pediatricians. When they hit me, they got off, they
went to another page. They went and did a Google search. They
started asking themselves who are these people posting this
information? Once you put in a search like that, a Wikipedia
page comes up that talks about it as a socially conservative
advocacy group. Its membership it says is estimated at 500
You'll see that they have a robot somewhere around 1000.
This is what comparable organization to the American
Academy of Pediatricians. The point here is in order to find
out the truth about an organization you're looking at,
do not look at what organization says about itself. Look at the
web is telling you about the organization that's where you're
going to find truth of the matter.
I'll show you one trick you can do that makes this technique
super fast. Most accuracy is what he does. So it's usually a
great first stop for investigating journalistic
sources and organizations painless example A article from
a publication called the color selector the clinical setting
this is this really a new site? So here's what I do. I go up to
location bar 90 Chop off everything after the initial
domain, then I take a PDF, don't get the sense. And then you
turn. Now if you do that, it will float with P and h to the
top of your search results. And if you click into that with a PR
believe to see the telegraph turns out to be a well respected
publication. You do this with organizations publications
experts will always return a high quality article, but it
usually turns this if you get away with the article, you're
not sure if you can trust it. Every faculty PDF should be
sourced to another homepage by clicking through those articles
usually verifying individual tasks.
Oh let's watch the other two through quick.
Remote Monitoring management's remote access and help desk and
take smarter nations patch
but let's be wise it's not only some famous example A article
from a publication called culture it says that some
schools have been session of personal reasons. But before we
get outraged about this before we started, have a session let's
figure out whether your script somebody's going to do our
original trick or just add with the trick where you pull out the
same thing. We're gonna throw that in the home stop, we stop
because we realize vulture isn't really the source of this
report. Down here at the end of the source paragraph we see that
at least according to CBC news, information in this arm probably
isn't verified by reporters. You're just reporting on other
reporting that the CDC has already done. So you'd have to
get closer to the original source by clicking them. And can
we find the original source now that we're at the source we
still check what the source is what should you plug this into a
penis is one of Canada's most popular new sites. It's long
established and well resourced. It says good reputation. The
point is we go upstream to the source to get to the point where
the people doing the writing are the people verifying the facts.
We call this the original reporters in the States. There
we go recording source is trustworthy. So now we can
invest our time the article and start thinking about mission.
Okay, one more.
Or two habits of competent first estimates especially when
website organization says simply read the report as we already
have the original reporting to get back to the original article
that didn't work. They talk to the experts and talk to the
witnesses, but lots of stories, claims or bits. You don't even
have to do that because if you're a fact checker and if you
build that that can happen over time you build up a library of
trusted sources and use it and they have done verification work
for you. You can lean on them. Let me give you an example. A
site called facscan recently called play that the Canada
child benefits has led to hundreds of 1000s of children
out of poverty, they call it misleading your reasoning. The
benefit was predicted to have that effect, but we don't know
yet whether it now is that really misleading maybe, maybe
not. But actually gives you a lot more than a ruling. If you
sit down this article, you can see the mess not work the cold
get the email the ministry of family, the top two economist,
maybe you have slightly different conclusion but even if
you disagree, this is a great starting point for that. You
might want to make sure that you choose facts and insights and
the quality my particular go to source is Snopes which is their
business longest reasonably trusted sources is not the agree
with you but that they do this important work of verification
Now it may seem weird to say you should be relying on traditional
news outlets and of course, it's largely about the web. But
looking for true news sources is important mostly because
professional reporters are taught fact checking as part of
the work and are expected to do it on stories. Good fact
checkers build this list in their head of reliable sources
rather than relying on the source of initiative comes to
them. They go out in effect, a higher quality source. I call
this trading up. We show you a really simple way to do this on
one CD, find a story that sounds horrible and so an untrustworthy
source. Here we see global warming is hard in this picture
supposedly of Sahara color Newsom. Now you could trace the
story to the source, but you could also just look for
coverage from another source. He searched snow Sahara and Google
and then hit the News tab. You'll see a well researched
story from NPR one from CNN wasn't for us all confirming
that this happened. If you have a favorite factual site for
publication, you can float that up to the top of your search
results just by typing the name. So in this case here we put the
word Snopes after smelling this how're things exceeded floats
and slopes sign up to the top going into the slopes? Sorry,
would you find out in business no did fall on us hiring but the
snow actually falls inside our boiling. Point is you're not
wedded to using the story that kills you. This one is the
internet. People allow you to find a better story in investor
time.
There are a lot of tricks to fact check these things if you
investigate sources before you read if you go to the official
source of reporting for custom Florida, you're going to do so
much better. In doing it for you the best time being article
watching video will make sure that you're investing your time
on user stories and also make sure those are the tricks those
are the skills
okay. So how many people have of checking the source first before
reading the article?
I do some of the time anyway. If something seems a little bit too
good to be true, then I am interested to look at the sort
of the messenger instead of just the message.
Any questions about that?
Okay, so
wanted to go over the quiz answers from today's quiz. I
didn't put them out.
So, for machine learning
this is supposed to be mentioned in 2.5
but I also submitted one point view which is no harm and the
for people who put 1.2 So don't email as I corrected a
look again should see that you are just
human rights
principle one
and it's interesting to note that in the case study about the
weapon systems any comments there I've heard some talking
was there a common for the class there anything to share with the
class
Okay, so in the case study about the weapons system we look at
they talked about free speech as a fundamental human rights
association. So not sure that that's not slightest little bit
American United States Senator. So I think we have to be careful
and reading things that are prepared or not particular.

responses for response today are nasty me. Do the free

You so any questions or concerns about what I've laid out for the
assignments?
Make the choice for the assignment due date right now.
it good
News.
Okay, so I've set it up to be available now. Until for 24
hours, so let's do this. It'll close it this time tomorrow
okay, so which one should we do earlier
and we can continue the discussion on the class
discussion. Forum.
seemed clear enough Okay.
So in the time remaining instead of a peek at some other case
studies. So dark UX patterns
anyone have an idea of a sense of what dark UX patterns are?
Who's familiar with UX is user experience? Some people okay. So
we talk about usability and user experiences two related but
different things. So the case study goes like this. The Change
Request Stuart received a simple enough replaced websites rounded
rectangle buttons with arrows and just the color palette to
one that mixes red and green text. When Stuart looked at the
prototype, he found it confusing. The left arrows
suggested that the website would go back to a previous page or
cancel some action. Instead, this error replaced the button
for accepting the company's default product. The right arrow
on the other hand says upgraded the user to more expensive
category it also suggested permeated also silently added a
protection warranty without asking for confirmation. Stewart
suggested to his manager that this confusing design would
probably trick us into more expensive options that they
didn't want response and these are the changes requested by the
client. Surely after the updates are released into the production
system, Stewart's team was invited to a celebration. As a
result of these changes revenues at the client had increased
significantly over the previous quarter. At the celebration
steward overheard some of the clients managers discussing the
small increase for refunds by users who claimed that they
didn't want the protection plan. But there weren't there weren't
many. One manager suggested several complaints from the
visually impaired users who noted that the mixture of red
and green text obscured important disclaimers about the
tax about the product or in me. So what you're saying then is
that the changes worked as planned quipped one of the
managers.
Some years ago, it was Sunday okay, it
was very similar to this is you're going to get the
expensive upgrade version, unless you simply hit the basket
or to purchase it
what's the computer professional dealing with this is Stuart
ready for or is it just a matter of you can do whatever you want
on the web. And there has to be where?
So I was
your principal 1.2 You just feel you're writing dip limited

professionals not being honest and customer they give either.
Making it easy to have the person using the website make
the decision and make us with faced
nearly faced with pressure to do these things in our work
environments.
There's lots of interfaces that make things accessible way
forward away
so these may also be issues so we got to think about
a lot of things in terms
of the ethical impact
and now we're out of time. So
a good introduction to the assignments now.
Let me know what questions still remain. Okay, thanks again for
today. Have a
good weekend. See you Tuesday.
So we did get this statement on the line but we were like I was
not sure
not sure

Responses

What important concept or perspective did you encounter today?

There was an attempt to teach us about fact checking
Skills needed to verify information online.
The risk and reward to develop AI
everything that is discussed today
I learn more aout assignment today and also learnt about the ethics in detail and yes the group have to be splitted again, not a great fan, but it will be different experience
Discussed about assignments and project
An important concept I have encountered today is the group work.
Evaluating information via sift
I encountered the new info on the asignemnts
important concept for me for today's is class is assignment annoucement.
Today I got to learn about infographic assignment and verifying facts
Today we went through our assignments and learned about CIPS.
Dark UX interface designs and how they can fool people to up-sell things that people don't need/want.

Not to completely rely on information that we read on article. First make sure that the source of the information it well known enough based on number of members or their revenue
We talked about ACM ethics, assignment, etc.
Proactive CARE for Computing Professionals. CONSIDER who might be affected and how, ANALYZE the situation’s details, REVIEW other obligations and limitations, EVALUATE the best course of action:
I learned about how to be a pro fact-checker. When looking at any kind of information we see online, it is important to check if it is true before believing it. To do this, we must ensure to look into the original source and determine its credibility (via wikipedia).
Proactive care of professionals
Evaluting information by SIFT, The standford experiment
Using Wikipedia for fact checking - I was always told not to trust Wikipedia
There are unlimited ways to get information from the web. It is hard to distinguish between such online sources to determine its credibility. To weed out the fake, rather than only looking at what the specific organization says about themselves, look at what the web tells us. Then look at the source of the information. Do not take all information for face value. Instead, trade for a higher trusted source and search if the information presented in the article is verified.
how to fact check information
Dark UX features can be terrifyingly effective in causing users to commit to actions unknowingly.
Talking about Assignment
ACM Code of Ethics and Assignments
We didn't really discuss many new topics in class so not particularly
Ethics
UX patterns.
Important discussion today was about assignment.
Evaluating Information using SIFT
I learned about the assignments
I learnt about all the different principles and what each of them entail when it comes to people vs. technology.
An important perspective that I encountered yesterday was the SIFT acronym for evaluating information. I thought I had been evaluating information with online resources correctly, but it turns out according to SIFT I have not been tracing my media back to it's original context but rather just use trusted websites and fact-checked websites. Because of this new found technique I can accurately tell whether the media was fairly represented in the original context.
The idea to check the source has never occurred. Only check their credibility.
Cryptography
ACM code of ethics
Infographics and assignments
Nothing important
The Dark UX patterns topic was actually increadibly important, and I am incridbly intrigued by them. I found out about dark UX stuff from Youtube (go figure), and the rate they are effective is actually incredibly terrifying. By nestling options that prevent revenue, tech companies unfairly pressure users into paid, or alternatively more expensive, products that users didn't need (or in many cases, even want). It's also a crazy ethical issue too, since as a developer, you choose between poverty or ethics!
the importance of ethics
Learned what SIFT stands for. Stop, Investigate the source, Find better coverage, Trace claims, quotes and media to original context. SIFT is good for finding reliable sources on the internet and not spreading misinformation.
Assignments
how to identify legitimate and reliable sites.
The concept I got to know was more about the assignment which was been discussed properly
I learnt about the contents of our assignment and how the marks are allocated
An important I encountered today was how to efficiently decide if a website is reliable or not! 1) check main source through wiki and such 2)If not main source, go further and find main source and check it 3) fact check it
Different simple ways to check if the content I'm reading online is based on real data.
The impotance of checking into the sources behind everything you read online. Many pages are not worth your time especially when more reliable sources exist.
About assignments, CIPS's SFIA and case study on dark UX patterns
I learnt about the different methods of fact checking an article online using fact checkers such as Snopes
I learned how to search for credible sources and get to the root of where they came from
Infographics, the use of pictures/visual images to represent data
Today we encountered few important things such as the assignment deadline, the last day of meeting and which should be submitted first and group assignments
I learnt about infographics and how to use them in tech.
UX pattern and assignments
There were a Few important concepts in class today about investigation on ethics and how fact checker plays role in deciding authencticity
I think it was about the assignment discussion, that which assignment should we do first. The individual one or the group one.
As per my understanding in today’s lecture was based on networked learning and discussed about assignment in brief.
we got know about the assignments and how to earn an CIPS certificate
Today we discussed about the two different assignments.
ACM Code of Ethics
Today we went through our assignments. We discussed the details of what is expected of us, and the marking scheme as well. We also watched a few videos regarding our portfolio assignment as well.
Assignment topics and groups
An important concept I encountered today was the importance of how one evaluates information found online. SIFT can be used as a tool to identify false information. One thing in particular that seemed to be the most important was looking into the credibillity of the source. From the Stanford Experiment stated in the video, 65% of Stanford students incorrectly chose the more credible source. All it would take is a quick search to see which one is more credible, and decent percentage of them most likely didnt
Today the prof explained about the assignments and exams
Today we discussed about the assignments of individual and groups of 4. Also we later discussed about the video in which we were being taught about fact checking
short videos about checking whether a source is reliable or not
I realized that it is vital to check your sources. Considering how many people failed the Standford experiment, most people don't know how to check if their source is creditable. This can lead people to get false information from the web.
That I need to go to my sources' sources to make sure that my information is accurate and true.
I was absent in the class today
We talked about assignments
i did not learn any important concept today
i get to know a lot about how to verify a source
How to find trusted sources of information on internet
Today we just to about ethics topic and assignment and group discussion
It was about Assignments and Classwork groups .
Today, we were introduced to CTRL-F's Online Verification Skills videos, where they discuss the importance of fact checking the information and sources we are researching on the internet. It is easy to be misled and so you need to do even more research on top of the research that you are already doing to make sure that your initial research is credible.
ACM code of ethics
The most important concept I encountered today is better skills to search for information on the internet
About skillset
How to find trusted sources of information on internet
I believe concept on the video was very important and easily understandable.
Assignments
Nothing of note
analysis
Automated active response weaponary
The videos we watched in today's class were pretty interesting to me.
Read and learn the concept
An important concept we encountered today was credibility of sources. Whether a source was creditable or not and how we can identify them. In the videos we watched, it said there were many ways to know; one being to search the name of the source on wiki and another was to check if there's an author posted somewhere and when it was posted
The importance of distinguishing between credible and non-credible sources online
I learned whether or not to trust any given information by doing background check.
During this lecture I learned that there is even more to ethics than I had previously thought from last lecture, and I only expect to find out more
We watched some videos about how to find viable sources and how to fact check. It's very useful because I may never know how reliable a source is.
we learned how to find crediable sources
ACM Code of Ethics
I am really impressed the video how we can define a website by using wikipedia. I think it is really helpful
The importance of fact-checking and the methods on how to do so, including having skepticism on the information we find online and collecting trusted sources to utilize
I think the online searching method was important
Assignment discussion
the assignments and the activities we have to sign up for
Assignments
mainly it was about the groups discuss
I got to know about how to verify facts and why is it necessary to do so.
I got to know about more details of assignments today.
We learn about the assignment and get know about the marks.
Acm code of ethics and professional conduct
I encounter about the principle of code of ethics.
How to find trusted sources of information on internet
We discussed about the assignment today in class and their due date
So we discussed about the assignments and we go through 2 videos and that was the important thing we did
How to find trusted sources of information on internet
I learnt a little about infographic
How to get to a reliable source or check if it is valid or not
assignment details and ux pattern
Everything
Dark user experience
About the assignment
I learned about the importance of making sure that you get creditable sources and how to look for them carefully! It's important to get information that is creditable!

How to find trusted sources on internet
I learned about a fact-checking website (Snopes) that can be used to check the reliability of websites.
How to verify facts and why it is important to do so
The infographic group assignment was important for the course curriculum. The discussion of the assignment was important and will be of much importance for the course.
About the 2 assignments of the course and the groups for that. How to do the project and how to do
Today we watched multiple videos through which I learned how to check genuineness of a site as well as how to verify facts on the Internet.
One important concept I learned today was the acronym for evaluating information: SIFT. When analyzing the validity/reliability of a source I have learned that I must Stop, Investigate the source, Find better coverage, and Trace claims/quotes to their original source.
I learned about the code of ethics. The concept, which is concerned with everyone's quality of life, confirms that computing experts have a responsibility to apply their knowledge for the good of society.
Code of Ethics
How easily spread misinformation is
Today, we encountered a perspective on how to identify "reliable sources".
discussed about assignment
Team coordination and about assignments.
the implications and the different approaches to codes of ethics.

We went over the assginements in class today. While the larger research assignment/infographic was easy to understand, I struggled to really see a purpose to the smaller CIPS IT assignment. In a class based on risk and reward in computer systems, why are we giving so much information to CIPS to complete what is essentially a job skills quiz? I failed to find how the CIPS portion relates to the course material, or how the marking criteria will work.

Do we have the option to do the infographic assignment individually? Or does it have to be in groups?
No
While learning about techniques to find credible sources, I would have liked it if we dived deeper into what exactly makes a source credible. The videoes brought up in class point towards the staff, budget and other qualifications, but it would've been nice to have specifics on these traits. Like how many people should be working for the source at minimum and what is the miminum budget necessary?
The youtube video about investigating source, I will see the video again and look forward to more videos about fact checking on internet news articles
