So you want to make a disinformation game? [Webinar]

How do we teach people about the dangers of disinformation? Some have started making and using games. While fun and engaging, there are serious questions about how they work, what we need to think about in design, and how these games can actually address the growing tide of false information. This talk answers these questions, going through what disinformation is, how games and other tools are being used to deal with it, and what you need to think about to make your own. From research to practice, learn about the pipeline of media literacy games and ask questions you might have about the state of disinformation.
