Lesson
Current and Future Trends
11 in Media and Information
Media and other information providers play a central role in information and
communication processes. Nowadays, media become the common outlet of self-
expression and creativity. Its huge influence spreads speedily across the globe. The
connection between technological advances and people’s connectivity created a huge
impact on the lives of today’s generation. This module covers all the above-
mentioned concepts.
What’s In
Technology can provide both opportunities and challenges to humanity. The internet
itself can offer modes of empowerment and convenience, but it can also promote
digital divide and fraud.
Media offer a handful of functions to humans, a number of them were evident in the
various sectors such as in politics, business, economy, personal, and social, most
especially in the education sector.
To learn more about the benefits of media in education, let us take a look in the next
activity.
Notes to the Teacher
Emphasize how future technologies can create change to human
lives.

What is It
Massive Open Online Course
Media as one of the fastest means in educating people continue to flourish and
innovate. A known example is the Massive Open Online Course, or MOOC. An online
course that offers open access via the Internet for free or at a low cost. With the
continuous growth of media, modernization is anywhere, learning becomes more
accessible. In her work, “What’s A MOOC? History, Principles, and Characteristics”,
Amanda Rollins, 2018 emphasized that the technical pillar of MOOCs is related to
distance learning where ideological principal talks about “Education for All”. The first
MOOCs date back to 2008 with online courses by David Wiley, Utah State University
and Alex Couros, University of Regina.
The term Massive Open Online Course was used for the first time by George Siemens”
Connectivism and Connective knowledge”(CCKO8)course. MOOC respects certain
technical specifications and four characteristics:
1. Using web formats
2. Collaborative learning
3. Assessing knowledge
4. Time limits
In addition, MOOC offers university-level courses without the need to complete an
entire programme of studies, and are becoming increasingly popular. They offer a
large number of students the opportunity to study high-quality courses online with
prestigious universities, often at no cost. They are ideal for independent study and
users can select courses from any institution offering them. MOOCs do not always
lead to formal qualifications. There are no entry requirements.
The following information provided on the next page illustrates how advances in
technology affect people’s lives and interests in the field of education.

Moreover, an article by E-Learning Guide on Media and Information Literacy, titled
“The Current and Future Trends of Media and Information” discusses the following.
Massive Open Online Content and its Implications
Massive Open Online Content (MOOC) is defined by Educause as a model for
delivering learning content online to any person who wants to take a course, with no
limit on attendance. It can be characterized by the following:
a. A revolutionary approach to education that veers away from the physical
to the virtual.
b. A kind of learning that happens online, breaking the norm of traditional
schools or universities for higher education.
c. Utilizes information technologies like analytics to help instructors gauge
their student’s learning.
d. Emphasis on connectedness.
The Implications
1. By taking learning into virtual space, attendance is no longer a determining factor
in one’s education. This makes MOOC learning a popular alternative for those whose
life situations make them unable to attend regular schools.
2. Managing MOOC is relatively cheaper than running educational institutions. By
taking out the experiences of Universities – which are passed down to students in
exorbitant fees- MOOC addresses the high cost of education.
3. Analytic provides information about the learning process of students. Through the
use of data collected through analytic, MOOC provides a means to improve learning.
4. Since it focuses on connectedness as part of the learning process, MOOC allows
education to take place on a global scale. Connecting learners and instructors all
over the world to one another to maximize education.

Wearable technology is seen to be the up and coming technology of the future.
Wearable technologies today are smart watches. These watches are worn as a typical
wristwatch but do more than just tell time. Modern smart watches perform the same
functions as smart phones.
Smart watches as a wearable are developed for convenience, but its inability to
function as an independent gadget puts it at a distinct disadvantage.
8
www.shsph.blogspot.com
Another example is Fitness tracker. It is derived from smart watches in form and
physical design but serves health applications. Fitness trackers aim to promote
health and wellness among its enthusiasts, unfortunately, issues in their accuracy
have been raised in several reviews.
Virtual Reality (VR) wearable technology is gradually growing in popularity among
enthusiasts. Oculus, a high-end VR headsets intended for entertainment has been
released to the public on March 28, 2016. This wearable technology takes users to
computer generated worlds and let them experience it as if they were actually there.
Oculus have so far received positive reviews among users. However, concerns were
raised about VR technology’s potential to cause a total disconnect from the physical
world.

and-information
The Concept of 3D Environment
3D or three dimensional in its literal sense refers to anything that has width, height,
and depth. The physical world is an example of a 3D environment. The concept of
3D environment is explored to mimic the physical world in media.
Films are among the most common media offerings that incorporates 3D. 3D films
make objects in their material appear solid to the audience through the illusion of
perception. Earlier 3D motion pictures require audience to glasses with red and blue
lenses.
Another notable development is 3D printing. This technology brings digital data and
design to the physical world literally. The concept of 3D bio-printing or 2D printing,
using human materials like tissue ad bones to create organs or body parts that can
be theoretically translated to an actual human body aims to solve that.
The Paperless society
9
www.shsph.blogspot.com
The paperless society is a society where communication is done electronically 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.

and-information
Ubiquitous learning
Ubiquitous learning is common in the age of information. Since the information in
the digital age can be accessed by anyone, at any given time and place, ubiquitous
or an ever-present type learning of learning is possible.
