As the world approaches 100 million cases of COVID-19 and surpasses 2 million deaths from the coronavirus worldwide, the Knight Center at the University of Texas at Austin and UNESCO are announcing an online training initiative to combat the other disease that is further aggravating the pandemic: the “disinfodemic.”
The MOOC (massive open online course) “Disinformation & Fact-Checking in Times of COVID-19 in Latin America and the Caribbean” will be taught in Spanish, Portuguese and Guaraní from Feb. 15 to March 14, 2021 on the Knight Center’s online learning platform.

The course has been prepared for journalists and communicators in general from the Western Hemisphere, but it is open to anyone interested in combating the wave of misinformation and disinformation that has spread during the pandemic.
