Current and Future Trends in Media and Information
Current and Future Trends in Media and Information
Media and other information providers play a central role in information and communication processes. Nowadays, media become the common outlet for 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 lesson covers all the abovementioned concepts.
Technology
Technology
It can provide both opportunities and challenges to humanity. The internet itself can offer modes of empowerment and convenience, but it can also promote the digital divide and fraud. Media offer a handful of functions to humans, and a number of them were evident in the various sectors such as politics, business, economy, personal, and social, most especially in the education sector.
Massive Open Online Course
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 the 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 in George Siemens' "Connectivism and Connective knowledge” (CCKO8) course. MOOC respects certain technical specifications and four characteristics (tap to view):

Using web formats
Collaborative learning
Assessing knowledge
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 below illustrates how advances in technology affect people’s lives and interests in the field of education.

Massive Open Online Content and its Implications
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 revolutionary approach to education that veers away from the physical to the virtual.
A kind of learning that happens online, breaking the norm of traditional schools or universities for higher education.
Utilizes information technologies like analytics to help instructors gauge their student’s learning.
Emphasis on connectedness.
The Implications
The Implications
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.
Managing MOOCs is relatively cheaper than running educational institutions. By taking out the experiences of Universities – which are passed down to students at exorbitant fees- MOOC addresses the high cost of education.
Analytic provides information about the learning process of students. Through the use of data collected through analytics, MOOC provides a means to improve learning.
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
WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY
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
SMART WATCHES
Smart watches as a wearable are developed for convenience, but its inability to function as an independent gadget puts it at a distinct disadvantage. 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
VIRTUAL REALITY
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.
3d environment
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.
