This course teaches you how to think clearly in today’s digital information environment.

Every day, platforms decide what you see, algorithms reward engagement over accuracy, and misleading claims spread faster than careful analysis. This course shows you how that system works and how to operate inside it without being manipulated by it.

You will learn how social media platforms are designed, how algorithms rank and amplify content, and why certain posts, videos, and narratives keep appearing in your feed. You will then develop practical critical thinking skills to evaluate claims, statistics, sources, and media before you accept or share them.

This is not a theory-heavy course. It is practical, structured, and action-based. Each module includes short explanations followed by exercises that help you apply the skills immediately to real online content.

The course builds step by step. You first understand the system. Then you learn how it influences perception. Then you practise analysing claims and spotting manipulation. Finally, you build simple habits you can use every day.
