Fifty-two students from five continents came together in August 2007 to start a world-wide revolution in media education. The students, all selected to be in the first class of the Salzburg Academy Program on Media and Global Change, created a dynamic online-based curriculum titled “Global Media Literacy.”

The Academy students also looked at two key issues in depth—Terrorism and Climate Change—and built web-based modules that consider how global media cover these subjects.

To see a sampling of what the students created, click on the boxes on the right.

The Global Media Literacy box will take you directly into a selection of pages that the students created for the online curriculum.

The Climate Change and Terrorism boxes will take you to an opening flash presentation. Take a look at all five of the topics in the flash, then click on one to bring you to a sample set of pages from all the modules.

Once you are in those new pages click the links on the right-hand column to see a variety of student-created video and flash presentations, case studies, class exercises and online links to other resources.
