You have learned in the previous modules that all media messages are constructed — Introductory Message creators make choices each step of the way, from their work's purpose and focus to the point of view they use to relay their message. Media, as a vehicle of these constructed messages, hold substantial influence on the opinion or belief of a person or even of the public, as humans are intrinsically easily persuaded by the views or choices of the majority. Moreover, the revolution in media, information, and technology has had direct implications in the shaping of a society's systemic landscape both in positive and negative ways. In this module, you will further look into the media's impact, and contribution, particularly the opportunities and advancements media and information puts on the table as well as the risks and challenges that come with it. In addition, this module will discuss in detail the overall implications of media and information to you as an individual and to society as a whole. Specifically, this module consists of the following lessons: e Lesson 9 — Opportunities, Challenges, and Power of media and information ¢ Lesson 10 — Current and Future Trends of Media and Information GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 2. 3. {ror the learners: To be guided in achieving the objectives of this module, do the following: 1.

Developments in_ information, communication, and technology in the past decades have enabled society to transform the mechanisms of how information circulates and how people interact, access information, create new knowledge, learn, and work. This information revolution has opened new waves of opportunities and challenges not only for media and information but also in social systems, commercial and economic approaches, and citizens’ engagement. Over the years, media has evolved to be more than just a vehicle of information, but an influential instrument powerful enough to transform established systems. However, despite the fact the access to information and knowledge has increased during the last decade, significant challenges and obstacles still remain. In this lesson, we will look into the opportunities, challenges, and power of media and information. What I Need to Know Learning objectives Particularly, at the end of this lesson, you will: 1. Realize the opportunities and challenges in media and information (MIL11/120CP-IIIh24); and 2.

Protests What's In Review In the previous lesson, you have learned about the policies and ethics of information production, consumption, and sharing. Media and information literacy also calls for individuals to be mindful of the ethical and legal implications of how they use and share information. Copyright, intellectual property, netiquette, these are only a few concerns that dominate the Information Age, concerns that media and literate individuals must understand and inculcate the importance. Now, it's time to move on to the next topic! = \) What’s New CE activity 9.1 hat you will do Activity 9.1: Imagine a World without Media Media and information has definitely evolved throughout the decades. With the advent of technology, human life has been continually influenced, shaped, and improved. In this warm-up activity, illustrate how you would imagine yourself and the society without all the media instruments we have today. Submit your output on an A4- sized bond paper and be ready with a brief explanation of your illustration. What is It Discussion There are both endless opportunities and challenges in the Information Age. As a digital native, you ought and be able to make the best use out of the media’s opportunities and hurdle over its challenges. Read and reflect on how these opportunities and challenges exist and affect some of the different aspects of society. 1. Informational (Social Media and the Web) Whether we like it or not, the advent of the Internet has forced practically almost everyone to migrate to the virtual world, especially when most of the information we need is now available via the Internet. Today the World Wide Web is at the forefront of information providers given its multimedia format, which have “enriched information through a synergy of text, audio, image, and video (Liquigan, 2016).” The new media has enabled audiences to faster, easier, and more efficient access and utilization of data and information, especially that search engines have made information seeking more interacting, engaging, and convenient. It also links users through the vast networks of communication platforms such as e-mail, Internet search, and messaging applications. Moreover, the Internet has afforded the audiences to a world that connects people and share cultures transcending physical boundaries. Aside from the Web, one of our most accessed source of information is social media. Study the table below for the challenges and opportunities that you, as a netizen, face in the midst of your engagement with social media (Liquigan, 2016). Table 9.1. The Challenges/Opportunities of Social Media In terms of: Challenges/Opportunities Collaborative | « Projects enable the jointand |e The joint effort of many actors projects simultaneous creation of leads to a better outcome than content by many end-users any actor could achieve ¢ Wikis-Websites which allow individually. users to add, remove, and ¢ From a corporate perspective, change text-based content, firms must be aware that e.g., online encyclopedia collaborative projects are trending Wikipedia currently available toward becoming the main source in more than 230 different of information for many languages consumers.

It is unfortunate, though, that people in some communities, especially rural ones, don't even have the chance to evaluate information because they have no access to such technology and data in the first place. As the world and education rapidly progress, people who have been left behind are even stuck at a farther distance making it more difficult for them to catch up. 4. Political (Politics and Governance) The communication of political information is an important process in the political system, and the mass media play a central role in this activity (Coxall et al., 2003). Media, as a vehicle in communication, can provide the audience with news and information, which will help them develop more informed opinions and choices. For instance, during the election period, most of what the people would know about political candidates and political parties is the information we get from media, which often affects how they perceive a certain candidate or party, both positively and negatively. The media also acts as a watchdog that monitors the conduct and governance of elected government officials. In today’s politics and society at large, media is essential to safeguarding the transparency of democratic processes. Through media and more information provided to the public, a bigger platform for political discussions has also been opened. This validates that “the media assist the working of a democratic system through facilitating free speech and unrestricted public debate (Coxall et al., 2003).” On the other way around, politics can also have an effect on media as, at times, although not explicitly, powerful political figures and even the government can manipulate or influence media's content. This kind of media regulation can be best seen in communist systems like North Korea’s, where the government enforces rules and regulations governing the media industry and prescribing the kind of information they are allowed to broadcast. This is one of the challenges of media as an element in politics, the truth or information the media disseminates may be manipulated by external factors. An example of this is what we call propaganda, a communication that is primarily used to influence an audience and further an agenda; thus, information may be made incomplete, twisted, or presented selectively. The interrelationship between media and politics provides a fair foundation in the function of media as a source of information (Gonzales, 2016). However, today, the widening gap between the media, the government, and the public's trust is becoming a pressing challenge. 5. Social (Citizen Engagement and Social Change) Have you ever heard of ABS-CBN's “Bayan mo, Ipatrol Mo!"? The program where ordinary citizens send reports, photos, videos, of problems in their communities, issues they want to put the spotlight on, or advocacies they want to promote. How about this, have you ever noticed that news organizations are now using photos and footages from ordinary citizens when reporting for a story? Have you ever wondered at what point did ordinary citizens take part in providing information for mass broadcast? This trend is brought about by advancements in technology and the fast and widespread dissemination of information. This is what we call citizen journalism. As defined by Encyclopedia Britannica, citizen journalism is ‘journalism that is conducted by people who are not professional journalists but who disseminate information using Web sites, blogs, and social media.” Citizen journalism is one of the biggest opportunities in media and information as it encourages ordinary citizens to take part in the news production process. It gives the then-receivers an opportunity to become news producers as well. Moreover, it also urges them to be more wary and mindful of the things happening around them and gives them the confidence to speak out when they see something wrong. According to TCC Group, their work revealed that media influences an audience (i.e., affects change) through a flow, illustrated in the diagram below. Targeted Content a a 2 & A » Targeted Targeted Targeted Content Content Content Source: Gasper, 2016. How Media Affects Social Change. Retrieved from httos./ww. tecgrp.com/insights-resources/insights- perspectives/how-media-affects-social-change/) As opposed to the traditional communication process where the message to be sent is usually found in the middle, this flow reveals that there may be several entry points of targeted contents, and media audiences may start at various points along with the flow. This means that some may just be aware of an issue or topic, some may actually understand it, or some are just acquainted with it because of emotional connection. Whatever the case is, “content can individually and collectively (as part of a campaign) serve to affect an increase in audience understanding and help foster an emotional connection between the audience and the issue being presented (Gasper 2016).” Several events in history proved this to be true, that media, as a vehicle of these targeted contents brought about action and mobilization. In fact, history has concretely shown society how media can be a powerful tool for social change and mass revolution. The speed at which information is spread through social media is the main reason why platforms such as Facebook or Twitter have had increasingly large roles in civil society, even fueling the revolution. Check out the powerful ways social media has been used to create change around the world. 1. Libyan Revolution — When official media outlets like television and print media were controlled by the state, social media became the reliable source of information for the revolutionaries and even a platform used to distribute information and firsthand accounts of what was going on within the country. As a result, media tools like tablets and phones played crucial roles in the revolution. 2. Arab Spring — In 2011, an online frenzy of activity commenced a revolution in Egypt which saw more than 3 million tweets on Twitter, hundreds of hours of Youtube video, and countless posts on Facebook and blogs which told stories of the revolution from citizens who needed to get their voices heard. 3. Ukrainian Revolution — In Ukraine, much like traditional revolutions, protesters line the streets to call for social change. Nonetheless, social media still played a role in the movement as protester used some as a strategic tool for communication, using platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to organize thousands of like-minded individuals. Apart from mass protests, calls for social change may also be in the form of what we call social marketing. Social marketing refers to using business and marketing techniques to encourage people to adopt certain behaviors that would lead to better physical and mental health, and eventually to wide-scale social change. On the other hand, although media has the ability to bring people together, conversely, it also has the potential to bring people apart, attitude, and ideology-wise. As earlier mentioned, social media and the World Wide Web offers the audience a wider avenue for intellectual discussion and productive conversations. However, due to the influx of various differing ideas, the broadening problem of polarization has been one of the undeniable challenges in media and information. Because of the differences in views and opinions of the audience, a culture of social division is becoming evident and is taking a toll on unity and even social trust.

The photos above are just a few examples of the many technologies and innovations that have emerged throughout the recent years. Here, you will explore more of these developments and visualize what the future may bring in terms of the trends in media and information. 1. Massive Open Online Courses EDUCAUSE, a nonprofit organization composed of IT leaders and professionals, defines MOOC as “a model for delivering learning content online to any person who wants to take a course, with no limit on attendance.” Furthermore, MOOCs can be characterized by the following: 1. Arevolutionary approach to education that transitions from physical setting to a virtual set-up 2. A kind of learning that is facilitated online, breaking the norm of having to physically go to traditional schools or universities for higher education 3. Utilizes information technologies like analytics to help instructors evaluate their students’ leaming 4. Emphasizes connectedness (Gonzales, 2016) MOOCS are asynchronous, open-access, Web-based courses geared toward enrolling hundreds or thousands of students at a time. MOOCs deliver content via recorded video lectures, online readings, and online assessments, as well as various degrees of student-student and student-instructor interaction (Kurt, 2018). People enroll in MOOCs for a range of purposes, including Career development, college preparations, supplemental learning, lifelong learning, corporate training, and more. There is a distinction though as to whether an online learning material or program is considered as a MOOC. Here are a number of features that are typically required for a course to be considered a MOOC: 1. Massive - It should allow access to a very large number of students, much larger than a face-to-face class, or a traditional online course. It can even reach up to 500,000 learners or more! 2. Open - It does not have an admission process nor qualifications to be able to register or enroll. MOOCs being open also means free and open access to educational resources hosted in varied online places. 3. Online — The course is done remotely via the Internet and does not require physical attendance at a classroom, which also means that anyone from anywhere around the world with an Internet connection can avail of these courses. 4. Courses - It should have learning objectives to be achieved by students after certain activities within a given period of time. MOOCs are made and hosted by universities and companies through open enrollment or open registration. However, most of these institutions do not host MOOCs under their organization per se but rely on course providers such as Coursera, edX, Udacity, and many others. They range in length from 1 to 16 weeks (Bowden, 2019). While others run on a schedule, MOOCs remain flexible, letting you progress through them at your own pace, which means you are able to study and go through the lessons and activities according to your time, schedule, and pacing. Like in a traditional classroom, students will also be graded through quizzes, assignments, or activity. However, these may come as peer review, which is graded by other students according to a rubric or automatically-marked tests which are graded directly upon submission. MOOCs offer a strong starting point for a number of reasons, including: 1. Lack of entry requirements — a MOOC can be taken by anyone who is interested in the subject matter and able to access the course, regardless of age, background, or location 2. Repetition — a MOOC will often run two or three times a year, ensuring that students won't miss their chance 3. High quality - MOOCs are led by subject matter experts (SMEs) and supported by teaching assistants so that students have access to first-rate educational resources 4. Feasibility —a MOOC usually necessitates around 1-2 hours of study a week for about five weeks, making learning doable for students with busy lives 5. Self-paced but supported learning — a MOOC enables students to work through the course materials and assessments at their own rates while also interacting with a global learning community (Kurt, 2018). In sum, MOOCs are a game-changer for higher education. The large scale availability, the low cost to students, the questions raised around credentialing, and the analytics that MOOCs provide all create momentum for new pathways to education.

Why or why not? 18 Today, many industries and fields are using and developing more innovations of these wearable techs, especially in the health care industry, where they're looking into devices that could be used to monitor things like blood pressure, vital signs, or blood sugar levels for diabetics. From the basic fitness trackers and highly-advanced sports and smartwatches to virtual and augmented reality headsets, wearables are definitely establishing their names. As such, wearable technology will most likely continue to have an impact on modern society, especially given its efficient use and aesthetic quality. 3. 3D Environment 3D or three-dimensional, in its literal sense, refers to anything that has a width, height, and depth (Gonzales, 2016). The physical world, the realm we live in, including us humans, are examples of 3D environments. This technological concept of a 3D environment is explored to imitate and simulate the physical world through media. The most common examples of this are computer animations in video games and TV shows. Films have also been among the most common media modalities that employ 3D. 3D films make objects in their material appear solid to the audience through the illusion of perception (Gonzales, 2016). If you have been to one of these 3D films, you are made to wear special 3D glasses, which directs each of your eyes to see a slightly different picture. According to American Paper Optics, a manufacturer of 3D eyewear, “this is done in the real world by your eyes being spaced apart, so each eye has its own slightly different view. The brain then puts the two pictures together to form one 3D image that has depth to it. Another 3D technology, which has existed for actually quite a while now, is 3D printing. This innovation brings digital data and design to the physical world — literally. Simply put, it brings your design to life! According to The University of Tennessee Knoxville, 3D printing “creates objects by bonding the print material one layer at a time. They work by making use of 3D design files, such as those created in AutoCAD or similar applications. These files are processed by specialized software that slices the data into cross-sections. The printer uses this data to build the desired object from the bottom up one layer at a time.” Unlike laser printers that utilize inks, 3D printers “prints” in layers of material like plastic, metal, and concrete. Overall, the 3D environment has already been widely used because it gives the audience or the users a more engaging and enjoyable media experience because the images and videos are in three-dimensional rendering — meaning it's as if we're looking at something real! 4. Ubiquitous Learning Ubiquitous learning or u-/earning is a kind of e-learning experience that “implies a vision of learning which is connected across all the stages on which we play out our lives. Learning occurs not just in classrooms, but in the home, the workplace, the playground, the library, museum, and nature center, and in our daily interactions with others (Bruce, 2009).” Compared to mobile learning and e-learning, it is a more context-based approach and more adaptive to the needs and pacing of the learner. U-learning is a kind of wireless modality where learning takes place at any time, anywhere, and with anyone. It benefits from the use of technologies to implement learning activities and achieve learning objectives. These technologies incorporate learning materials such as videos, audios, PowerPoint presentations, or notes with embedded source data in them (Liquigan, 2016). It is a very personalized and dynamic mechanism that uses devices integrated into the students’ environment. Furthermore, u-learning maximizes the use of any form of media like mobile phones and computers for efficient use. 21 However, in the Philippine setting, especially in the public education system, most u- learning tools fail to endure because of the lack of resources and, thus, not effectively sustaining the actual needs of the students. It is, nevertheless, still a promising endeavor that both private and public education institutions hope to embark on. at have you learned so far? Activity 10.3: Question and Answer Instructions: Answer the questions briefly in your own words. Write your answers in a separate sheet of paper. 1. How has wearable technology revolutionized the way people access information? 2. How does a 3D environment affect the audience's media experience? 3. How does ubiquitous learning (u-learning) impact the traditional mode of learning? 5. Paperless Society A call for faster transactions and greener mechanisms brought paperless transactions as a viable and useful practice in society. A paperless society is a society where communication and transactions are done electronically or digitally, and all forms of printed communication have become obsolete. It is characterized by the shift from letters to e-mails, newspapers to news web pages, books to e-books, and so on (Gonzales, 2016). Paperless transactions also include cashless dealing, which is often done through credit or debit cards or through virtual wallets like PayMaya and GCash. Going paperless offers several benefits, like acquiring savings on costs on materials, printing, labor, and storage. In addition, paperless transactions minimize the risk of losing or misplacing a digital document and allow employees to access and edit a digital document, whether remotely or in the office, then electronically manage or send it. These documents can also be accessed simultaneously, eliminating the need for multiple copies and thus saving time and adding to work efficiency. However, for a country like the Philippines where many places are still without electricity, even more so Internet, going entirely paperless, is still a far-fetched aim. Bureaucracy in several companies and organizations, both public and private, also hamper the actual realization of a paperless society. Despite such, societies are positively gearing towards going paperless as places, and people who are capable of carrying it out have already adapted such procedures.
