INTRODUCTION
The world has changed dramatically over the years. Media and communication grew more
sophisticated, thus, changing the landscape of information production, consumption, and sharing.
List as many trends in media and information as you can think of. Include technologies or
specific gadget that you can use which have emerged in recent years.
MOOCs are utilized primarily by education institutions and so are Open Educational Resources
(OER). OERs are “teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have
been released under an intellectual property license that permits their use and repurposing by
others.”
Wearable Technology
Wearable technologies are electronic technologies or computers that are incorporated into items of
clothing and accessories which can comfortably be worn on the body.
The 3D Environment
3D graphics or environments have added texture to our media experience because of the images
that we see in three-dimensional rendering.
Ubiquitous Learning
Ubiquitous learning is a kind of e-learning experience that is more context-based and more adaptive
to learner needs. It can be accessed in various contexts and situations, most prominently through
mobile learning.
Wiki
Wikis are application allowing several people to collaborate, modify, extend or delete the contents or
structure of a particular page devoted to a topic or content. Unlike blogs, a wiki has no defined
writer or author and has “little implicit structure, allowing structure to emerge according to the
needs of the users.”

techniques. Messages with ulterior motives commonly use any of the following techniques:
Ad hominem

Cherry picking (fallacy) or Selective truth
Classical conditioning
Cognitive dissonance
Common man

How can media help in nation building? Draw a concept map that presents that many ways through
which we can help improve society through responsible media use.
With the myriad of messages that one receives from media every day, a media and
information literate individual is one who is highly skilled in spotting propaganda and fallacy. Media
are carriers of meanings and they can overtly or covertly relay these meanings depending on their
intention. A media and information literate individual is also able to unmask this intention because
of the familiarity with the nature and functions of media and information.
