Abenante Prize 2021 @aib_it:
2nd classification for #biblioVerifica Olympics

 

There is no doubt that misinformation, due in part to the inability of web users to set up their searches correctly, but even more so to the strategy pursued by a large number of subjects referable to a wide variety of political, religious, philosophical, scientific (or should we say pseudoscientific) ideologies, has over the years represented a dangerous obstacle to the ability of individuals to consciously evaluate the contents of the web and use the information in the most correct way to orientate their choices.

While the scope of the BiblioVerifica OLYMPICS project presented by Damiano Orru’ on behalf of the “Vilfredo Pareto” Library of the University of Tor Vergata in Rome is not particularly innovative, the way in which it strives to stimulate an attitude of full awareness in users, providing them with the logical and documentary tools to combat the phenomenon certainly is. In this sense, the aims of the project fall within the dimension of inclusion expressly requested by the announcement of the Prize named after Maria Antonietta Abenante.

BiblioVerifica proposes, in fact, to all citizens a platform for “computerised self-assessment” on issues that have been hot topics over the years (from 2018 to the present day). This self-assessment takes the form of a game-competition in which any participant can try his hand at answering a series of quizzes in a set time, receiving real-time feedback via blog and email at the end. The description of the content on which the 100 quizzes are based is available and downloadable to allow the validity of the answers and the sources for each quiz to be verified.
Using gaming to combat misinformation through information literacy, media literacy and data literacy is undoubtedly an original and convincing idea, as evidenced by the growing number of participants that the WordPress platform registers annually. Indeed, it has risen from 1,044 attempts in 2018 to 21,609 attempts in 2020 (for 2021, the statistics stop at the first 20 days of the competition).
Over the years, BiblioVerifica has been presented on numerous public occasions and described in articles in authoritative journals. Finally, BiblioVerifica promotes a data and information search practice that applies the indications of the IFLA-promoted ‘How to Spot Fake News’ Manifesto to facilitate access to responsible information through the sharing of verification strategies, research tools and reliable sources at national and international level.

11th #GlobalMILweek @MILCLICKS October 26, 2022 – NIGERIA @unesco “Global Media and Information Literacy Week” #MILCLICKS

Theme: “Nurturing Confidence: An imperative for media and information literacy.”
EDITION 2022

The 11th Global Media and Information Literacy Week will be celebrated from October 24-31, 2022 and will be hosted by Nigeria.
Global Media and Information Literacy Week 2022 will be hosted by Nigeria. In Our Common Agenda, a report by United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, world leaders made twelve commitments. Among these commitments, Guterres stressed that the values of trust and solidarity are the glue of social cohesion and social achievements for the common good.

However, the harsh reality is that the trust factor is eroding. Considering the above context, the global community is called not only to reaffirm and increase its commitment to media and information literacy for all, but also to develop new initiatives on media and information literacy to nurture trust. Therefore, Global MIL Week 2022 focuses on trust and solidarity in relation to people, media, digital platforms, governments, the private sector, and nongovernmental organizations. The paper highlights some promising actions over the past year in relation to media and information literacy and how the latter helps to nurture trust and counteract distrust.

UNESCO supports the development of media and information literacy for all to enable people to think critically and click wisely. The Organization is particularly committed to improving the capacities of policymakers, educators, information and media professionals, youth organizations and disadvantaged populations in this area by assisting member states in formulating national media and information literacy policies and strategies.

Information literacy and media literacy are traditionally separate and distinct areas, but UNESCO’s strategy is to merge them into Media and Information Literacy-MIL, as a combined set of competencies (knowledge, skills, and behavior) needed in today’s world for life and work. The goal is to create societies in which people, through the possession of skills in information, communication and technology, participate more consciously in governance and sustainable development. MIL aims to empower citizens to think critically and interact in an informed and ethical manner with information and media content and services, at the same time it proposes creative and purposeful use of technology by users and strengthens knowledge of digital rights and ethical issues concerning access to and use of information. In this way, MIL contributes to strengthening intercultural dialogue, freedom of expression and peace in an increasingly digital society.

UNESCO’s mission to create media- and information-literate societies is realized through a comprehensive MIL strategy that includes the provision of models for teachers, international cooperation, the development of guidelines for enacting national policies, the articulation of a framework for indicators, and also the establishment of a university network and clearing house.

The development of MIL also aims to offer a systemic and long-term response to misinformation, as it appeals to national education policies by proposing innovative use of technology for both formal and informal education strategies with the goal of advancing lifelong learning for all.

MIL contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 16.10 (ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms) and 11 (sustainable cities and communities) by increasing citizen awareness and building inclusive, resilient and sustainable communities. MIL also contributes to OSS 4 (quality education) by teaching digital skills and promoting critical thinking, and OSS 5.b (empowerment of women through ICT) by revitalizing people’s abilities to identify gender stereotypes and hate speech, including intersectional discrimination, in all types of media and on digital platforms, and to oppose them.

Essentially, MIL works to counter the impact of misinformation and misinformation as it provides citizens with critical thinking and informed interaction with all types of content, offline and online.

Recognizing these challenges and the potential of MIL to address them, stakeholders at all levels, such as governments, local authorities, media, youth rights groups, educators and teachers, researchers, media regulators, libraries, museums, and many others are intensifying their efforts and investments in MIL-related actions. In this context UNESCO is seen as a world leader in the advancement of MIL because the Organization has to its credit effective actions and programs that have produced concrete results in meeting the needs that actually exist. These initiatives include the creation of a network of universities on MIL and intercultural dialogue, online courses that everyone can access , materials for teachers , a global alliance for partnership on MIL .

Each year, UNESCO and the Global Alliance for Partnerships on Media and Information Literacy (GAPMIL) organize Global Media and Information Literacy (MIL) Week, during which recurring events (such as the International MIL and Intercultural Dialogue Conference and Youth Agenda Forum) and events are held around the world to promote the dissemination of MIL at the interdisciplinary level.

    Jonathan Tennant, PhD, was a paleontologist, an Open Scholarship activist and advocate, a founder of Open Science MOOC (open educational platform), PaleorXiv (open publication platform), he was an author of numerous books, scientific articles, public talks and presentations for science reformation. He inspired a lot of people to join the movement for better science. Jon tragically died on the 9th of April 2020 in Bali. One year later his family, friends, colleagues and supporters remember his legacy and life.

    we share

    https://www.dariah.eu/2020/04/14/in-memoriam-of-jon-tennant/


    – Sister Rebecca’s appeal:

    https://www.gofundme.com/f/4acpr2-JonTennant

    Earlier, you kindly fulfilled our appeal to you for funds to repatriate our family member and friend, Dr. Jon Tennant (https://www.gofundme.com/f/repatriation-burial-costs-fund-for-jon-tennant). Your generosity has enabled us to start this painful but vital process. At present (01.6.20) Jon is still in Bali as the current pandemic is slowing down usual processes.

    The present call for funds aims at covering partially the legal fees associated with bringing clarity to the accusations Jon faced over the last months of his life.

    To recap, Jon was a tireless and selfless advocate for open science. However, late in his productive life, he experienced a significant amount of cyber-mobbing on Twitter, in large part due to the procedural opacity of a supposedly caring and protective organization (more info following this link : https://jontennant.substack.com/p/the-opencon-saga-5-month-update).

    Over the last months, Jon Tennant also spoke of the effects of bullying, mobbing and cancel culture from the human side, as he experienced it in its most strong effects : https://jontennant.substack.com/p/cancel-culture-makes-everything-look-worse-than-it-is ; https://jontennant.substack.com/p/what-academic-mobbing-feels-like).

    Because information has not been shared with us we have not been allowed to follow the usual administrative steps to achieve truth and justice. We hope still to be able to do this.

    We believe that Jon’s memory deserves clarification on the accusations targeting him. Clarity in such matters is essential to close up speculations and allow his family and the broader scientific community to set a final learning point behind this case. We hence consider a series of legal steps to attain that goal. Our lawyers estimated the costs of the foreseen steps at £24 000. Your donations will only be used for costs associated information gathering and possibly tweet removal. None of the money you donate will be used to sue people or organizations. Your kind support in this endeavor is greatly appreciated. We have set the fundraiser at £10,000 due to left over funds from the previous fundraiser and other donations that have already been put aside.

    We hope our effort, with your generosity, can make the open science communities further reflect on practices and involvement in cases of bullying and harassment. We hope to honour Jon’s memory by making steps towards justice in this regard! If this fundraiser doesn’t meet the required amount, we will cancel it and all donations will be returned to you.

    Jon Tennant and the unsustainable virus of closed science @Protohedgehog #JonTennant

    In this unforgettable year for the number of deaths of the pandemic the academic and scientific world loses a protagonist and champion in its professional field, a victim escaped the CoronaVirus but not to a fate as tragic as incomprehensible for a society like ours, unable to open its eyes to a new approach to sustainable research and science freely shared with citizens. April 9 is the 100th day of leap year 2020, while the WHO has more than 1,500,000 Covid-19 infections and at least 95,000 victims, in Bali, Indonesia, the scientist Jon Tennnant falls victim to a motorcycle accident.

    In today’s society, unfortunately, few people are aware of his commitment and his battles for the opening of data, for the sharing of research methods, for the accessibility of publications produced in research institutions and universities, funded by citizens who repay both those who produce content and those who market it on the web and on paper.



    Open Science MOOC is one of Jon’s masterpieces, an online course open to all to involve citizens in Open Science.
    OpenScienceMooc.eu/


    The Open Science movement has its roots in the “Bermuda Principles”: in 1996 the scientific community imposed rules to publicly share the results of research on the human genome. Two years later the “Open Source Initiative” movement was born, from which derive today’s myriads of open Apps and Software, including Linux/Unix. Following in these footsteps the scientific community founded the OA (open access) Initiative, with the manifesto signed in Budapest in 2002, the guidelines to open scientific, medical and health content to the Internet community are disseminated. The cornerstone of OA is to provide the public with free and unlimited access to academic research, especially if publicly funded, multiplying the possibilities for dissemination and scientific collaboration.

    This recent paper summarizes the spirit with which Jon Tennant participated in Open Science:


    Traditional methods of scholarly publishing and communication are ineffective in meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SARS-CoV-2pandemic has demonstrated that, in times of need, the global research community can activate and pool its knowledge and resources to collaborate on solving problems. The use of innovative Web-based technologies, including open source software, data-sharing archives, open collaboration methods, and the liberation of thousands of relevant research articles from proprietary sources show us that the fundamental components of a fully open system are readily available, technologically efficient and cost-effective. If we are to achieve the SDGs by 2030, systematic reform and explicit adoption of open scholarship strategies at scale is necessary. We propose that the United Nations and parallel entities take a position of leadership by creating or funding an organization or federated alliance of organizations to implement these reforms.

    The activist has left to all citizens of the world the inestimable legacy of Citizen Science, with the paradox of not appearing in WIKIPEDIA throughout his career, as short as it is precious for the world of knowledge and scientific research. It will remain forever his contribution and his motto:

    CREATING BETTER SCIENCE FOR A BETTER SOCIETY
