NSL 603 - New Challenges for Learning: Growing Up in the Age of Electronic Media
This course will focus on the roles of popular media in learning and cognitive processes. There is an influence of media in learning and a certain urgency to study the relationship between both. In order to understand this potential relationship, we need to examine the theories, research, designs and models associated with the behavioral roots of the cognitive process. The use and influence of technology and media like the internet, social media, cell phones, eBooks, tablets, etc. represent a new way of active learning and a challenge for our traditional learning approach. However, the main target of this course is to introduce students to the fundaments of this new active learning and analyze it in terms of a cognitively relevant frame. We will focus on debates and issues raised by various media environments such as these related to young people’s growth and learning.
