Learning in a Digital Age (LiDA) Case Study

March, 2021 marked the tenth anniversary of an innovative approach to provide free and open, media and information literacy education at the Open Education Resource Foundation (OERF). The LiDA suite is made up of four micro-courses developed by the OERF that are delivered virtually, with the aim of supporting adults in developing digital and critical media literacy skills for learning online. Courses are at no cost to learners and include optional pathways to certifications, including formal academic credit towards university qualifications. In addition, courses are published and delivered using Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS), meaning any institution can reuse, remix, and replicate the course materials and delivery platforms for their own purposes.
