Synthetic content and “AI Slop” continue to saturate the media landscape, leading to confusion about all kinds of information. Last fall on a Fulbright teaching project, I surveyed students from Florida, Slovakia, Northern Ireland, and Poland about generative AI, higher education and the need for media literacy. Respondents clamored for guidelines for appropriate use of AI in coursework, and for spotting misinformation in AI-generated or manipulated content. After sharing results, I will provide a scalable media literacy framework to supplement emerging AI literacy skills. This strategy allows instructors of any discipline to draw upon their expertise, and show how it's useful when evaluating what we encounter online. #medialiteracy #cross-curricular-pedagogy #knowledge-is-good
