Media Literacy for Older Adults

Media Literacy for Adults will be held on Friday, April 5, 2024, from 10 am until 11:30 am ET. We will address the growing importance of media literacy - the ability to critically analyze for accuracy and credibility or evidence of bias in various media. This is crucial in today’s digital age for individuals of all ages including older adults who often face unique challenges in navigating the ever-changing media landscape. Carol Quade, an adjunct faculty member at NOVA-Annandale and LLI presenter, will explore these challenges and provide practical strategies to enhance digital skills, critical thinking, and online safety. She holds a doctorate in communications and media studies and has taught for 26 years.
