- affects all stages of communication and all stages of media (convergence)

What is ICT (new media)?What is ICT (new media)?____________________________________________o

- New media are based on four principles (Manovich)

1) Numerical Representation, that all media objects are composed by digital code

2) Modularity, that media are represented as collections of smaller entities

3) Automation, that media allow for the automation of many operations involved in media creation, manipulation and access

4) Variability, that media is no longer a fixed object

Implications for Implications for learninglearning

- Bild learning

Implications for Implications for learninglearning

____________________________________________

- Three modes of experience fit three types of learning

• the enactive mode fits learning by direct action

• the iconic mode fits learning by observation of visual models

• the symbolic mode fits learning through symbol systems (Bruner & Olson)

- Interactivity

- enables a more active and independent way of learning

better remembering

• these chances can be improved even more when types and modes of information are combined in a way that allow them to be integrated cognitively by students
