This module will introduce methods of stance detection and sentiment analysis in public opinion analysis. Besides understanding the challenges such methods may encounter through real-life examples, this module will introduce a Google Sheets extension and guide learners in using this extension to identify public opinion stances with large language models (LLMs). The course will provide practice examples and actual step-by-step tutorials to let learners experience the capabilities and usability of such tools. Furthermore, this module will also present case studies of stance detection in Chinese, allowing learners to experience the cross-lingual abilities of LLMs and the opportunities they present in overcoming cross-linguistic barriers in past international communication research.

In this class, we will learn the difference between cheap fakes and deep fakes/ AI generated images. First of all, we will use image reverse and google maps as the tools to search the original photo or understand the context of the related event. Compared to this “real” information, we can verify altered photos and out-of-context footage. Secondly, we will learn the trend of AI-generated and Deep Fakes. Through fun quizzes, you may feel how difficult it is to tell if the images are real or fake. Then, we will learn the open source tools and the tips to spot the AI-generated and Deep Fakes. The goal of this class is not only learning the practical tools and skills to verify the footage/ images, but also to cultivate media literacy and how to practice the verification SOP.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later.
