Equip your students to navigate a world of misinformation, AI and algorithm bias 

Critical digital and media literacy course for primary and secondary

A powerful, story-driven course of lessons shaping, not just how students consume media, but how they relate to it, and to each other.

 

Why we need to rethink digital and media literacy

From AI-generated content and algorithmic bias to misinformation and polarisation, students are navigating a digital world that demands more than just fact-checking. It requires curiosity, resilience, and critical thinking.

Traditional media literacy education often misses the mark. It can feel dry, outdated, and disconnected from students’ lives, while teachers are left without the engaging resources or training they need to lead confidently.

What makes it different

Human connections at the core

 

Students engage with real human stories through Lyfta’s immersive, interactive storyworlds.

 

This builds empathy, curiosity, and a deep understanding of global and personal perspectives

Discovering the why


Instead of being told why digital literacy matters, students uncover its importance through guided experiences and reflection, sparking intrinsic motivation.

Question-led thinking

 

Students build their own critical inquiry frameworks, learning to ask deeper questions like:


  • Who made this content, and why?
  • What voices or perspectives are missing?
  • How do algorithms and AI shape what I see?
