Thousands enroll in ASU's first free, public online class - Kaila White, The Republic

A new free, public online class from Arizona State University can up your skills in skepticism, "BS detection," fact-checking your friends and not embarrassing yourself by sharing fake information on social media. "Media LIT: Overcoming Information Overload" is ASU's first public, free online course. More than 3,000 people from 126 countries have enrolled in the massive open online course, or MOOC, which posted the first lesson Monday. http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/tempe/2015/07/07/asu-online-class-free-mooc-journalism/29816569/
