Learning in a digital age/LiDA104/Mass media/Overview

In this learning pathway we investigate a number of theoretical perspectives on mass media focusing on how the medium and organisations can influence the message. Media literacy requires that you develop a critical disposition for analysis and evaluation. This learning pathway includes video and text resources published from different sources, and learners are encouraged to apply their skills of discernment when consulting online resources embedded in this learning pathway.

In this learning pathway we consider a number of critical perspectives from different world views. As a digital citizen, it is also important that you engage ethically in the learning process, especially when considering what you post online given the diverse global audience of the OERu. (Please read the OERu acceptable conduct section of our terms of service. The OERu will not tolerate offensive comments, insults, personal attacks, obscenity, flaming, trolling, or inappropriate language and reserves the right to ban disruptive accounts.)
