Abstract
The research aims to establish a conceptual framework to design a MOOC to promote media literacy in the context of information disorder. Information disorder is a phenomenon that mainly occurs from the large flow of false or incorrect content posted on the internet. Promoting media literacy is a way of helping citizens to face the challenges of disinformation processes. The educational design research involves the development of a MOOC prototype based on the literature review and improvement through successive iterations with groups of experts and MOOC participants. The first stage of investigation is the literature review for the development of a prototype. The design is based on a conceptual framework and upon theoretical propositions. Thus, this article is the result of the first phase of this investigation in which the literature review generates the conceptual framework for the prototype of the MOOC to promote media literacy in social media in the Brazilian context. The data from the literature review were grouped into four dimensions (technological, social, operational, and pedagogical) that are the basis of the prototype design. The main results of the investigation are a) electing a typology of MOOC to promote media literacy b) a conceptual framework for the elaboration of sMOOC to promote media literacy in the context of information disorder and c) an educommunicative proposal (topics and approaches) for sMOOC based on the articulation of social media.
