CMNS 150 - Digital Media Literacy
Credits: 3 Total Hours: 45
Students will explore how media shapes the way we see, think, and interact with the world. Together, we’ll examine a wide range of media, from news and advertising to social media feeds and entertainment, and learn how to break down the messages they send.
Using both accessible theories and hands-on activities, students will practice identifying bias, evaluating credibility, and understanding how media influences beliefs, behaviours, and social dynamics. Along the way, we’ll look closely at what it means to be a responsible digital citizen and how technology continually changes the way we communicate.
By the end of the course, students will be able to navigate today’s media-rich environment with confidence, make informed choices about the information they consume, and engage more thoughtfully with the media that shapes their everyday lives.
