Do you want to become a more effective online learner? As schools responded to the pandemic by shifting learning online, you had to navigate new learning environments, routines, support, ways to collaborate, and mechanisms to demonstrate your learning.

This course is appropriate for students in grades 9-12. The personalized nature of this course makes it perfect for any learner context including a class, a grade level, study skills or advisory program. While the design of this course encourages teachers to bring a group of students and integrate course topics into their learning environment, individual students are also welcomed to enroll.

Understanding the Impact of Deepfake Videos

The strange reality of deepfake media 

Imagine not being able to trust what you see or hear when you watch a video online. Deepfakes are manipulated media—video or audio—where a person has been replaced with someone else's likeness and made to appear as if they said or did something that never happened. Deepfake videos use artificial intelligence and can appear very convincing, even to a trained eye. When used to mislead audiences, deepfake videos can be disastrous.However, they can have useful benefits too—like offering AI-assisted video reshoots. 
 
In this introductory course, senior staff instructor Ashley Kennedy offers a useful introduction to the dangers and benefits of deepfake videos. She also provides a high-level overview of deepfake technology and puts forward some tools to identify deepfake videos, as well as suggestions for what to do when you suspect or spot a deepfake video.
