Teaching middle school students to decrypt fake news about covid-19 with InfoHunter

This course was produced by TRALALERE in partnership with Image'IN, the media education center of the Oise Teaching League, for educational purposes :

It contains a false documentary which uses the tactics of conspiracy videos (argumentative millefeuille, illusion of correlation, confirmation bias...) to better identify, analyze and understand them. It comes against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic and the many anxieties and false theories that accompany it. This report claims that the Covid-19 was created by Bill Gates (owner of Microsoft) to fight overpopulation, thus explaining the maddening number of deaths and the significant circulation of the virus.

This documentary has been designed to be a teaching aid to learn how to decrypt information on the web and disentangle the true from the false.
