GPS – Global Positioning System. An accurate worldwide
navigational and surveying facility based on the reception of
signals from an array of orbiting satellites.
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.
Check out some of these emerging technologies and trends.
Haptics Technology is a technology that utilizes the sense of
touch by applying force, vibrations and/or motions to the user
through computer applications. It is commonly used in
gaming controllers, joysticks, and steering wheels and is
becoming more prevalent in smartphones. It is also being used
in virtual reality systems, adding the sense of touch to
previously visual-only solutions. Haptic has various potential
applications in industries such as gaming, movies,
manufacturing, medical, and more.
Contextual Awareness is the ability of future devices to learn
about the user's life by combining information from hard
sensors (location, conditions) and soft sensors (calendar,
social network, past preferences). With this information,
devices can anticipate the user's needs, such as suggesting to
leave early to avoid traffic or automatically selecting TV
preferences based on the person holding the remote control.
Voice and Tone Recognition Technology can be used to
confirm a person's identity and detect their health or emotional
state. This technology has potential applications in security
and healthcare, particularly in mobile applications.
Intelligent routing to devices is a future technology that uses
smartphones and mobile devices with GPS (global
positioning system) and photo capabilities to efficiently
report and address street-based issues. It allows staff to
quickly and accurately notify the appropriate team for action.
Eye Tracking Technology uses sensors to measure eye
positions and movements, which are then analyzed by
computer applications. It has potential applications in law
enforcement for lie detection, airport security for identifying
suspicious behavior, safety for alerting and awakening drowsy
or distracted drivers, and healthcare for assisting people with
disabilities or paralysis in communication and mobility. It also
has potential for improving human-computer interaction by
using screen icons and eye movements instead of a mouse and
keyboard.
Internet Glasses are a developing technology that can display
images directly onto the retina, allowing the user to see the
images without blocking their sight. These glasses have
potential uses in fields such as e-gaming, military defense, and
more. Experts predict that in the next 10-20 years, internet
glasses will replace smartphones. They can be used for various
purposes such as seeing building schematics and locations of
others, giving speeches while information is streamed in real-
walking down the street.
LESSON 9: MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERATE
INDIVIDUAL
1. Improved Quality of Life
The media and information age has greatly improved
the quality of life by making communication easier,
information more accessible, and research more convenient.
Media literacy allows individuals to evaluate information,
raise awareness, and prevent foolishness, and access business
and job opportunities. It also improves information literacy
skills and enhances communication skills.
2. Greater Political Participation
The media plays a crucial role in encouraging greater
political participation by informing the public about
government activities and issues. This leads to a more
politically engaged, active, smart, and concerned citizenry,
who can take a more responsible role in the government.
3. Better Economic Opportunities
The media industry has grown in the information age,
creating more opportunities for individuals to earn additional
income through open content contribution and advertising
revenue. New media platforms have also led to the creation of
new jobs such as social media managers and multimedia
specialists, which in turn can boost the economy. Media and
information literacy is becoming increasingly important in job
markets, especially in developing countries where
employment is a major issue. The media industry plays a vital
role in addressing this problem.
4. Improved Learning Environment
Media and information have improved the learning
environment by making information more accessible and
sought after, turning learning into a choice rather than a
necessity. This has led to an increase in technological literacy,
broader knowledge, and educational interest, making learning
more fun and easy.
5. More Cohesive Social Units. Others
Media and information literacy can lead to more
cohesive social units by promoting social activity, facilitating
communication, increasing awareness of different groups in
society, raising respect for cultural and linguistic diversity,
and enabling individuals to explore and discover new places.
These abilities are important for personal development, social
change, and achieving specific goals and job purposes.

● Hearing - the act of perceiving sound by the ear.
● Listening - requires concentration so that your brain
processes meaning from words and sentences.
Listening leads to learning.
What is a Motion Media?
-is visual media that gives the appearance of a
be a collection of graphics, footage, videos. It is combined
with audio, text and /or interactive content to create
multimedia
2 Forms of Motion Media:
1. Informal - created by individuals often for personal
use
2. Formal – created by professionals who follow
industry standards in creating, editing and producing
motion media
Steps in Formal Production of Animations:
1. Writing the Story
2. Script is written and dialogue is recorded
3. Animators sketch major scenes, in between fill in the
gaps
4. background music and background details are added
5. drawings are rendered
TYPES OF MOTION MEDIA
● ACCORDING TO FORMAT:
✔ ANIMATION – Animated GIFs (Graphic
Interchange Format), Flash, Shockwave, Dynamic
HMTL
 ✔ VIDEO FORMATS / VIDEO CODECS – MP4, ✔ Other data may be presented best using still images.
DivX, MPG, 3GP, AVI, MKV, etc. Examples are graphs, diagrams, maps.
✔ It is subject to misinterpretation
● ACCORDING TO PURPOSE:
ELEMENTS OF MOTION MEDIA
✔ Education 1. Speed - A fast movement gives vigor and vitality,
intensifying emotions. A slow movement connotes
✔ Entertainment lethargy, solemnity or sadness.
✔ Advertising 2. Direction - indicates a movement from one direction
to another. It can also refer to the growing or shrinking
of an object.
● ACCORDING TO SOURCE: 3. Timing - can be objective or subjective. Objective
timing can be measured in minutes, seconds, days, etc.
✔ Personal Subjective timing is psychological or felt. Timing can
be used to clarify or intensify the message or the event.
✔ Social Media Using a pause can help time the events
4. Transition – used to switch between scenes
✔ Media Companies
5. Sound and Color – adds meaning to the motion
6. Blurring – In animation, blurring can provide the
● ACCORDING TO AUDIENCE: illusion of fast movement. In videos, it is often used to
censor information for security or decency.
✔ Private /Public

✔ General / Directed

CREDIBILITY OF MOTION MEDIA

● Determining the Credibility of Motion Media:

✔ Validity of Information

✔ Source

✔ Relationship of the Author to the event

● Technical Methods to Detect Fake/Tampered Video:

1. Smoothness of the Video - This is often detected
when movements are not smooth; when action seems
to jump from one position to another, as if some
action was missing
2. Lighting Coverage Matches - One way to detect
lighting matches is to look at the shadows; the source
of light determines the size and direction of the
shadow
3. Scale and Size Consistent - scale refers to how the
size of the objects in reference to one another are
near the real thing. If the picture is reduced or
enlarged by a certain percent then all of the objects
should be resized by that percent. Objects that are far
away are usually smaller than objects that are nearer.
● Advantages of Motion Media:

✔ It captures motion in a manner that can be viewed

repeatedly
✔ It can show processes in detail and in sequence

✔ It enables learning with emotions

✔ It can cut across different cultures and groups

✔ It allows scenes, history, events and phenomenon to be

recreated
● Limitations of Motion Media:

✔ Compared to other forms of visual media the viewer

cannot always interrupt the presentation.
✔ It is often times more costly than other forms of visual
media.
