Free courses @AFP - Digital Investigation Techniques

2022.08.21 Follow the steps of a modern Sherlock Holmes, take some free Digital Investigation Techniques classes.  

I found out from the Instagram account of the journalist Cristina Bazavan that AFP (Agence France-Presse) organizes free courses for journalists and students in journalism. (Cititi mai mult pe blogul ei.) I am neither but still I am interested and I need to be better in my searches so I enrolled. 

You can find the courses at https://digitalcourses.afp.com/collections/courses

The courses are short, about 45 min -1 hour to follow each. I studied so far these courses:

+ 1. Carry out searches efficiently to find the results you need, very useful, teaches you how to search for information on google and other search engines using operators and also searching by date

+ 2. Find when a photo or video was first published and who published it, also useful, teaches you how to reverse search for an image on google images or other image search engines, and also how to search information about a posted video, using keyframes. 

+ 3. Learn methods for dealing with online harassment and for staying safe online, teaches you to check your digital footprint, where you appear on searches, if your email has been compromised (https://haveibeenpwned.com/) 

+ 4. Refine searches on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and other social media, a basic course on searching information on social media channels

+ 5. Identify clues in images, use online maps and travel through space and time with them, an intermediary course about identifying the place when a photo was taken.

If you are interested in being able to find interesting things on google, faster and more efficient, for example, I suggest you to enroll.

You receive a certificate after each course, this is how a certificate looks.

2024.09.08 because I am overweight, to the point that it trheatens my health, a medic has shown me a diet based on a lot of pineapple and chicken meat, I trust her opinion in general, but with diets I am not so sure, for one, it's not this doctor's specialization. I researched the diet on the internet and found it on some big sites like doc.ro or elle.ro (so far) I could try it, or parts of it but I am still thinking. And I remembered these classes on digital investigation and revisited the link. I found a class on "How Identify trustworthy sources on health topics and evaluate studies" and I am on it. I will let you know my progress. Did you follow any of these classes?
