NAVIGATE
Information Literacy: a game-based model as a defence against fake content
September 2017
- August 2020
The initiative
NAVIGATE applies an innovative approach, based on a digital game, to information literacy, directed mainly at university students to involve them actively through research, testing, competition and collaboration. In addition, it has the potential of making more people information literate because learning through games exploits the collaborative element of digital environments.
Technical details
NAVIGATE (Information Literacy: A Game-based Learning Approach for Avoiding Fake Content) is a project funded by the European Commission through the Erasmus+ programme.
