Mackey, SUNY Empire State College  \nAbstract  \nMetaliteracy is examined as a comprehensive framework to develop learners as informed consumers and active producers of information in collaborative communities of trust. Intoday's post-truth society, personal and political beliefs have often diminished the meaning and impact of truth and objective reasoning. Metaliteracy prepares reflective learners to responsibly consume and ethically produce information in participatory social environments. As civic-minded citizens, metaliterate learners take control of their learning while mindfully participating in cooperative and productive communities. The innovative Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), Empowering Yourself in a Post-Truth World, is analyzed as part of this pedagogical strategy to prepare learners for the challenges of a posttruth society.  \nKeywords: metaliteracy, post-truth, MOOC, 2019 International Conference on Information Literacy  \nInnovative Practices  \nedited by Andrea Baer, Carolyn Gamtso, and Merinda McLure  \nMackey, T. P. (2020). Embedding metaliteracy in the design of a post-truth MOOC: Building communities of trust. Communications in Information Literacy, 14(2), 346–361.  \nEmbedding Metaliteracy in the Design of a Post-Truth MOOC:  \nBuilding Communities of Trust  \nMetaliteracy is a pedagogical framework to engage students in the evaluation, production, and sharing of truthful and trusted information. This descriptive analysis of the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) Empowering Yourself in a Post-Truth World (State University of New York, 2019) explores how metaliteracy is applied to this innovative learning environment. Metaliteracy is embedded in this Coursera MOOC to support metacognitive reflection and to create a better understanding of affective responses to information. This model empowers learners to envision themselves in active roles for producing meaningful content and to effectively participate online. Metaliteracy informs learning scenarios and activities in the MOOC for evaluating news and information sources, appreciating the value of expertise, producing ethical content, and studying the proprietary nature of social media. This descriptive analysis of the post-truth MOOC will show how the learning outcomes in this course align with the core components of metaliteracy, including the goals and learning objectives, learner roles, four domains of learning, and learner characteristics.  \nOne of the key themes explored in the Empowering Yourself in a Post-Truth World Coursera MOOC is the idea of building trusted communities as a response to a divided information environment. While the concept of a community of trust has been examined in social and cultural settings (Alfano, 2016; Jabareen & Carmon, 20","cbCaicI8zVdcQYE0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicI8zVdcQYE0","pdf",161611,17,"English","# Metaliteracy framework in post-truth learning\n## Embedding metaliteracy in MOOC design\n## The post-truth world and influencing mechanisms","[{\"question\":\"What is the role of metaliteracy in the MOOC design discussed in the document?\",\"answer\":\"Metaliteracy is embedded to support metacognitive reflection and a better understanding of affective responses to information.
