Inhalt In this course, students will explore the complex and dynamic landscape of infodemics and the challenges they pose for public health, crisis communication, and social media. Through a combination of lectures, case studies, and hands-on exercises, students will learn to analyze and manage infodemics by understanding their root causes and drivers, identifying the role of different stakeholders, and developing evidence-based strategies for detecting, verifying, and disseminating accurate information. The course will cover topics such as the impact of infodemics on public health, the role of media and government in infodemic management, the ethical and legal implications of infodemic management, and the communication and collaboration skills needed to manage infodemics effectively. Students will also have the opportunity to learn how to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of infodemic management interventions, and to reflect on the evolving nature of technology, society, and public health in developing a sustainable and adaptive approach to infodemic management. Overall, this course aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to respond to infodemics in a responsible, evidence-based, and collaborative manner, and to contribute to building more resilient and informed communities.
