Media and information literacy (MIL) is defined as the ability access, analyze, evaluate, as well as create media. This process can be done in a number of different formats. Through understanding the the concepts of media and information literacy instructional designers can feel empowered to make informed decisions on content being used or created. The importance of being able to distinguish between what information is credible and what is not is a critical skill for creators of learning content. Today's digital world puts all sorts of information at our fingertips, but being educated on literacy standards will promote success (Leaning, 2017).
