Reordering the chaos
Interactive E-learning Module
by Vira Gryaznova, Oct 25, 2021
Module Name: Cognitive Biases or Why We Fall for Fake News.
​
Learning Objective: After this module, students should be able to diagnose the most popular cognitive biases.
​
I produced this module in trial version of Adobe Captivate (2019).
​
I chose not to make very complicated and engaging multimedia content for this module (I re-used the images and text from my LDT300x infographics) but instead made my efforts to develop a simple test at the end of it to help the students to remember the biases.
