IK Chosen to Create Online Learning for Clemson University
We are very pleased to begin working with the Clemson University College of Business to design and produce an online learning project that addresses a growing issue in America - disinformation on social media that is aimed at influencing elections. Our extensive background in creating interactive educational experiences was cited as the reason we were chosen by Clemson. This our first project with Clemson University. We have worked with a number of universities including the University of Maryland, North Carolina State University, University of Pittsburgh, the University of Virginia, and most recently, the University of South Carolina.
The disinformation online learning project will present a series of actual posts that were discovered by the Clemson researchers to be the work of trolls from Russia’s Internet Research Agency. This same group was indicted during Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into interference in the 2016 presidential election. This project will be available to the public and is designed to help social media users learn techniques for uncovering the source of posts, videos, and articles before sharing them with their friends and family.
