Games

Several games have been developed that can teach people to identify and resist misinformation about COVID-19 and about the vaccines.

  • The Corona bee game seeks to increase vaccine uptake.
  • The Go viral! game teaches people in 5 minutes how to resist misinformation about COVID-19.

Go to the knowledge base

SciBeh created a living knowledge base using hypothes.is annotations. This tool can be used to search for COVID-19 vaccine-related items. For example, you can explore the vaccine tag that turns up knowledge and discussion on the web about COVID-19 vaccines.

The knowledge base was created to provide researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders with a curated-even if not yet fully vetted-overview over the constantly emerging knowledge and discussions around COVID-19, which are scattered across the internet (e.g., preprints, webseminars, studies in progress, #academictwitter discussions, static and interactive visualizations of results and models, blog posts by researchers, policymakers, and others).

The video below explains the tool:
