摘要

Social media have become an integral part of young people’s everyday lives, although they are increasingly under discussion due to their major impact on younger users in particular. Although social media can promote mutual support between adolescents, the detrimental effects on young users, such as dissatisfaction with one’s body, seem to outweigh the benefits. Influencers’ staged and/or edited images play a central role in social media—also in the field of health and fitness. The project FIVE (#fitspiration image verification) analysed the impact of the social media trend #fitspiration, which aims to motivate social media users to adopt a “healthier” lifestyle, on teenagers by conducting a comprehensive mixed methods study. Based on these results, the consortium then developed a blended learning course with ten modules for upper secondary school students, aiming to enable young people to use social media critically and consciously. A core element of this blended learning course is a web-based image forensics tool which allows students to test their abilities in detecting manipulated images. This paper focuses on the rationale behind the course and the human-centred development process that followed.
