Publikation Educational Approaches to Adress Fake News(IADIS Press, 2021) Eisemann, Christoph; Pimmer, Christoph; Sampson, Demetrios G.; Ifenthaler, Dirk; Pedro, IsaíasFake 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.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Compliance in Educational Institutions based on Students Experience Survey(ToKnowPress, 2015) Kofi Frimpong, Adasa Nkrumah; Asprion, PetraIn this paper, we follow a survey approach to analyse the level of compliance with study and examination regulations governing two educational institutions in Switzerland. The results revealed that compliance with automatic registration was different in the two investigated units of analysis and in both we found deficiencies in compliance-related activities. For example in both institutions the deregistration process was not compliant because students were most often not informed about the process. In addition we found a compliance imbalance regarding the extent of assessments. With regard to the examination supervision the status of compliance was much better in one of the two analysed units. However, compliance regarding lecture sessions seemed balanced.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Supervision on social media.
