Combating online misinformation

Anahita Dalmia and her team at Alterea have been working on Agents of Influence, a spy-themed educational video game that teaches middle and high school students to combat online misinformation. The goal of their initiative is to equip the next generation with the skills and knowledge to identify reliable information so they can act responsibly in their personal, civic, and social lives. Their game raised $30,000 on Kickstarter, and has been featured with Cyber Civics, Media Literacy Now, Connected Learning, and the Department of Education’s Digital Literacy Accelerator.  A short video of the game is available here: acy Accelerator.
