An online game wants to teach you how to uncover fake news

in #gaming7 years ago

How to distinguish fake news from a real article? Why not, playing Factitious. Developed by the American University Game Lab, this game offers you to test your ability to discern in which scenarios you are facing an article of misinformation.

In a minimalist interface, the game reveals successively cards containing a news article, usually with a title and a photograph. You have to estimate whether their content is truthful or not.

Before choosing whether the information appears to be true - you swipe the map on the right - or the same thing on the left - you can see the address of the source to give you your own opinion. Some are credible and may be misleading; On the contrary, other news appear real.

If you really want to understand the phenomenon of disinformation items, perhaps the best way is to create them yourself in another online game.
