What is the

When do we draw the line
between
INSPIRATION and COPYING?

MOOC- Massive Open
Online Course
Massive Open Online Course
(MOOC)
interactive model for delivering content to interested users online
Massive - The course does not have a limit on the number of learners who
wish to join as long as they register before the given deadline or before the
start of the courses.
Open - anyone can join MOOCs regardless of academic achievement, industry
experience, or any other factors
Online - you are required to have a good internet connection to access an
MOOC
Courses - This refers to the various disciplines or subjects available
Universities such as Stanford, Harvard, and
Princeton tie up with non-profit and
commercial providers like edX, Coursera, and
NovoEd. MOOCs are not limited to the
education industry because other
institutional partners such as Google,
Microsoft, and World Health Organization
(WHO) also provide such services.
Forbes.com enumerated the
advantages of MOOC in
education.
SCALABILITY
Usually, a single classroom accepts a maximum of
45 students in one class. If a teacher or instructor
uses an MOOC, he/she can allow a larger number of
students to join the class, including those who are
not enrolled in schools yet. It may also be available
to the public as long as they sign up accordingly.
OPTIMAL RESOURCE UTILIZATION
Our teacher may a famous business tycoon
for your ABM class, or a known literati for
your HUMSS class. With MOOC, you have the
opportunity to be taught by famous
personalities and respected educators known
in their industry
SELF-PACED
Learning in the MOOCs depend on the
learner’s response, not all students learn the
same way at the same time. However, there
are other MOOCs that are also instructor-
paced which means courses run through a
specified schedule
REMOVAL OF OTHER
CONSTRAINTS
Some people cannot go to learning institutions
because of their busy work schedule so they opt to
join MOOCs. Some cannot afford the hefty tuition
offered by universities for continuing professional
development, so enrolling in an MOOC is the more
affordable alternative.
The Impact of Media
and Information
Information and media
literacy empowers a person to
properly use media and
information
How does media and
information literacy
affect the life of an
individual?
IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE
On an individual level, the impact of media and
information literacy on a person’s life cannot be
overstated. The fact alone that media, in its many types,
is so omnipresent in a person’s life is already an indicator
of the impact it must have.
With an Internet connection, you can access information
you need at a moment’s notice, for tasks like doing a web
search while preparing a report or paper, checking
weather forecasts for a trip, getting up-to-the-minute
developments on specific news events, and more.
BETTER PROFESSIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES
Companies are easier to reach because of corporate social
media accounts. Through these, interested parties may
discover job openings, follow the company’s activities and
accomplishments, and submit inquiries. Likewise,
professionals can now post their resumes online and even
cultivate a social media persona for themselves so that
companies have a very clear idea who they’re hiring.
VARIED EDUCATIONAL TOOLS
Many classrooms use digital technology to offer more
complex learning experiences that cater to students’
varied learning styles.
In many schools, the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC)
has supplemented or replaced the venerable card catalog,
allowing students a more efficient way to search through
their library’s store of information.
How does media and
information literacy
affect society?
GREATER ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITIES
Some more personal examples of new media’s impact on the
economy would include e-commerce and similar online
shopping platforms
Greater media and information literacy promises a workforce
of skilled communicators who can interact effectively and
responsibly, especially via new media. This literacy may favor
younger, computer-literate learners or those who have been
trained in the use of new media, as companies have embraced
digital ways of doing business for the many benefits.
MORE COHESIVE SOCIAL
GROUPS
Previously, OFWs and their families needed to rely on
expensive “call cards” to fund calls to each other. Now,
Internet-based services like Viber, Skype and FaceTime
allow for voice and even video calls at a fraction of the
price. One can also communicate with a family member or
a friend through text messaging, multimedia messaging,
and social media.
INCREASED AND ENHANCED
POLITICAL PARTICIPATION
Social structures have become more tight-knit due to
increasing media and information literacy for political
education and participation for every citizen. Greater
awareness of basic political news and events is made
possible through new media and social media. News
outlets are able to more effectively keep the public
informed of developments thanks to new media’s greater
reach. Likewise, the participatory culture of social media
allows the general public to create responses to these
developments.
GREATER PUBLIC
INFORMATION AND EDUCATION
The general public now has more access to information
that would allow them to intelligently and appropriately
respond to social issues. It is much easier to put events
and remarks in context, simply by doing a bit of research
on the topic under debate -- whether it is constitutional
change, the Bangsamoro Basic Law, or women’s rights.
This improved ability to contextualize events allows a
person to develop an informed stand on the issue: an
opinion that is shaped by facts.
