The other side of the story with Andrew Swanson

What this episode covers

With the advent of AI and dominance of social media, it's easy for educators to worry about digital literacy and how best to integrate it into their students' learning. In this episode of HEP Talks, Luke Kemper talks with Andrew Swanson, Executive Producer for BBC Bitesize, about BBC Bitesize's news and media literacy resources collectively titled 'Other Side of the Story'. The discussion centres on what the resources contain and how they can be used to help inform students about bias, polarisation, fake news, and artificially generated content. It also veers into what teachers and pupils think about media literacy and the credibility of the sources with which they engage.
