COVID-19 Demystified | learn-tech.io

COVID-19 Demystified | learn-tech.io | Teaching during COVID-19 | Scoop.it
From www.learn-tech.courses - April 18, 2020 12:26 AM

STEM and policy aspects of COVID-19 made simple


To help us make sense of the crisis, learn-tech.io called on experts from around the world to help demystify COVID-19 in a short, practical course. COVID-19 Demystified has been developed for three key audiences. Firstly, the more than 1bn young people now shut out of classrooms who still seek education. Secondly, the wider public who are ‘drinking from a firehose’ of ‘news’. Information that frequently includes much disinformation and fake news. Thirdly, those decision makers and policy makers seeking to understand more about the challenges they face. Each of these audiences really needs opportunities to learn more about the pandemic both to protect their own lives and the lives of others. The scientific and mathematical complexity behind fighting COVID-19 means that many people lack tools to understand fully the impact of their own actions. Without such tools, misinformation and ignorance spread easily and can amplify negative effects of the pandemic. Those with no understanding of the science of the pandemic have sought to destroy 5G infrastructure, or adopt false cures bringing risk and harm to themselves. Some have adopted blame and hatred rather than nurtured their own understanding. The Demystification team hopes that this course will aid understanding and ultimately it will aid the fight against COVID-19. We all hope COVID 19 Demystified could be a key weapon in our fight against the pandemic and its effects.

Kim Flintoff's insight:
"It is intended that COVID-19 Demystified aids our fight against the virus. It offers practical ways to gain analytical skills and knowledge enabling more people to make their own sense of the pandemic. With a set of data and models that a user can examine and investigate, each of us can model strategies for mitigation, understand better why different strategies are being followed and come to their own conclusions regarding the wisdom of different government strategies."
