Last Friday, July 21, the new edition of the Summer Campus of the Xarxa Punt TIC ended. The initiative, which began last Monday, July 10, focused on the Campus Lab tool, the Moodle platform of the Xarxa Punt TIC Network, and on media literacy and the critical evaluation of misinformation. In total, about twenty people participated. Designed to work on digital skills, learn about new tools and discover new resources, the two tutored online courses were aimed at the facilitators of the Xarxa Punt TIC and had personalized support, constant monitoring and individualized support from the different people responsible for the Technical and Promotion Office of the Xarxa Punt TIC.

The first course, 'Learn to identify misinformation', had a total of nine participants. During these two weeks, students have acquired knowledge to identify and classify possible misleading news and have discovered verification tools such as Google Images, Tin Eye or InVid and media fact-checking tools such as Maldito Bulo, Newtral or Verificat. The second course, 'Moodle from 0 for the Punt TIC', had a total of nine participants. During these two weeks, the students studied the configuration and operation of the Campus Lab tool, the self-learning platform of the Xarxa Punt TIC, and learned how to create their own training proposals and how to energize the sessions.
