Media Literacy Education for Adult Audiences: Navigating Data Security and Privacy

The world of data security and privacy is complex yet crucial for everyone. Join us for the second session in our Media Literacy Education for Adult Audiences: Architecture of the Internet webinar series, a five-part series that will focus on shedding light on the often-overlooked aspects of the internet that shape the information landscape online.

In this session, “Media Literacy Education for Adult Audiences: Navigating Data Security and Privacy”, we will cover what data security is and best practices for keeping your user information private within an ever-evolving digital landscape. Key learning objectives for this session include:

1. Understanding what data security is and why it is important to be careful with your personal information online
2. Identifying common digital threats/scams and how to avoid them 
3. Discussing strategies for educating adult patrons about the importance of data security and privacy

This webinar series focuses on topics included in the recently published Media Literacy for Adults: Architecture of the Internet Programming Guide.
