    Educational approaches to address fake news. Preliminary insights from a systematic review
    (International Assn for Development of the Information Society (IADIS), 2020) Eisemann, Christoph; Pimmer, Christoph; Sampson, Demetrios G.; Ifenthaler, Dirk; Isaías, Pedro
    Fake and false news, an unfortunate hallmark of today’s information society, have serious political and societal consequences. Little systematic knowledge is available about effective learning, teaching and awareness-raising strategies that help users in addressing fake news. This study reports preliminary results from a systematic literature review aimed at systematising different approaches and determining their effectiveness. Three main approaches emerged in the analysis: Firstly, the findings suggest that strategies to correct existing misconceptions caused by fake news have limited effectiveness and can be even counterproductive, particularly for polarising topics. Secondly, the evidence on the effectiveness of training on fake news detection methods is encouraging but inconclusive. Thirdly, despite the common perception that fake news detection needs to be linked to an understanding of the economic, ideological and cultural dimensions of media systems, the few empirical studies found in this area did little to support this claim. A tentative conclusion from these findings is the need to integrate education on false news and training on fake news detection strategies in educational programmes as early as children’s media consumption starts.

    Maturity analysis assess the capability of an organization to innovate
    (IADIS, 2020) Adam, Marc; Peter, Marco; Gatziu Grivas, Stella; Nunes Baptista, Miguel; Isaías, Pedro; Powell, Philip; Bontchev, Boyan
    Globalization creates a highly competitive environment for organizations. To be successful in this environment in the long term, organizations need the capability to innovate and produce ongoing innovations. However, many organizations do struggle to do so despite their innovation efforts. Therefore, it is important to determine the factors of a company’s innovation capability. This research paper answers the question of how a method should be designed in order to assess an organization’s capability to innovate. To answer this question, extensive literature research on the topics of innovation, existing innovation models, and organizational behavior, as well as expert interviews with people from different industries, were conducted. Thus, this paper follows a design science strategywith a qualitative approach. The analysis of the literature showed that several factors determine the innovation capability of an organization. However, existing models sometimes focus on a single factor or contain several factors, which are not described sufficiently. Furthermore, the possibility for organizations to assess themselves using the models is largely missing. Based on the data from the literature and the interviews, a maturity assessment, consisting of a model of seven dimensions and 27 indicators, and a corresponding questionnaire to assess these indicators, was developed. The research findings suggest that the developed maturity assessment with its Organizational Innovation Capability model is a suitable and comprehensive method that can be used to support organizations by assessing their current innovation capability in order to define the necessary further measures. This research argues that the additional dimensions and indicators are needed in order to provide a comprehensive overview of the innovation capability maturity of an organization. Further, the experts emphasized the value of creating awareness within an organization and providing a good foundation for further discussions and actions by means of the maturity assessment.
