Abstract

The computing profession has recently been deeply involved in combating misinformation. From measuring how misinformation is propagated in computer networks to creating new algorithms and interface options, computer scientists have been at the forefront of fighting misinformation. However, for those of us responsible for training undergraduates, only relying on our core expertise may be a disservice. Unless we expose students to a breadth of perspectives and domains, their ability to identify and combat misinformation will suffer. Information literacy education is necessary, but needs to be treated as a sophisticated and contextual exercise.
