Many EDMO hubs are either already developing or considering the development of a repository of media literacy materials. During this session, several experienced developers of media literacy repositories will share their experience of developing and maintaining such repositories. What are the challenges and pitfalls? How do you ensure the quality and suitability of materials? What’s the best way to maintain such a repository and ensure the contents continue to be relevant and fit for purpose? These are just some of the questions we plan to tackle during this session.
The training is open to the members of the EDMO Hubs. Read more about the EDMO Hubs here.
