The project plans to combine the intimacy of a TED Talk with the interactivity of an in-person workshop to teach medical students how to evaluate health information. To do this we will create a set of videos on how to appraise the credibility of three common information sources in the health sciences. We will purchase video recording equipment and set up a portable One-Button Studio system to record the video series at the Ginsburg Library. After student review, we will upload the series to the TE2d platform. TE2d is the TED's youth and education initiative and is video based.
