Ethics of Information
Tuesday, Oct. 18 at 5pm via Zoom
In an era in which we frequently hear about misinformation and scams, it is increasingly important to focus on the ethics of information, not just finding and sharing information. In this workshop we will discuss some of the current ethical issues in information creation and use, helping you become a savvy consumer and creator of information.
