The address of this site ends in odersa.org. Every service the association runs sits on a subdomain of odersa.org and nowhere else. If the address in your browser’s address bar does not end in odersa.org, this site is not ours.
Everything is open straight away. No sign-up, no account, no password, no subscription, no advertising. Nothing is held back for those who pay, because there is nothing to pay for.
This site does not follow you: no tracker, no tracking cookie, no measurement tool built into these pages, and nothing measured on your device. Our host counts requests in aggregate, as any server that answers does: a total, never a profile. You do not have to take our word for it: open your browser’s developer tools, go to the Network tab, and reload the page. You will see the full list of what the site asks for. Everything comes from odersa.org, nothing goes anywhere else.
The content is published under the CC BY 4.0 licence. You may copy it, translate it, print it and pass it on, for your classes as much as for the people around you, on one condition only: credit ODERSA.
Everything you need to present the project without waiting for us: texts to copy as they are, a logo to download, numbers to recount. Help yourself; that's the house principle.
“Before You Believe It” teaches, for free and in seven languages, how to verify a piece of information before believing or sharing it: ten reflexes and hundreds of interactive training cases, published under an open licence by an educational non-profit.
Everyone shares; almost nobody was ever taught to verify. “Before You Believe It” fills that gap with ten simple reflexes (who is speaking? what source? what date?) and a training room: hundreds of fictional yet strikingly familiar situations (miracle cures, scams, misused images, rigged numbers), where every answer comes with an explanation of the trap. Free, no account, no data collection, offline-capable and printable, the site is published under CC BY 4.0 by ODERSA: teachers and educators can reuse everything, data included.
Up-to-date counters (cases per language, reflexes, languages) are on the Impact & numbers page. They come from the site's public JSON data: you can redo the count yourself, which is rather the point here.
The logotype is available as SVG, light and dark backgrounds. Screenshots are free to use: the whole site is under CC BY 4.0, capture whatever you need.
