The main characteristics of ubiquitous learning are:
(Chen et al., 2002; Curtis et al., 2002)
►Permanency: Learning
materials are always
available unless
purposely deleted.
►Accessibility: Access
from everywhere as
personally required

►Immediacy: Wherever a
student is, he/she can
immediately access learning

►What is MOOC?
►How was MOOC made possible today?
►How is it different from taking a course
from a college or university?
►How is it changing or influencing
education at present?
List of MOOCs:
• coursera.org
• novoed.com
• mooc-list.com
• edx.org
• model.upou.edu.ph
Implications
1. By taking learning into virtual space, attendance is no
longer a determining factor in one’s education.
2. Managing MOOC is relatively cheaper than running
educational institutions.
3. Analytic provides information about the learning progress
of students.
4. Since it focuses on the connectedness as part of the learning
process, MOOC allows education to take place on a global
scale.
What are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)?
• Massive open online courses, or MOOCs, are web-based courses
open to the public for free and are designed for unlimited learner
participation.
• Pioneering the use of MOOCs in the country in July 2013, the
University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU) offered its
first MOOC—Introduction to Mobile Application Development
Using Android Platform. The course aimed to equip students with
the necessary skills and know-how to deploy android applications
for android phones and tablets.
What are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)?
• The idea of offering MOOCs in UPOU materialized in 2011.
• More than accommodating thousands in enrollment, UPOU
has emphasized the “openness” of these courses. Being more
“open” has been reflected in UPOU’s practice of using only
open educational resources (OERs), producing OERs, and
employing open-access software in its MOOCs.
What are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)?
• As early as then, UPOU recognized the potential of MOOCs to reach a
wider audience, to make education more open and accessible, and to
promote lifelong learning.
• It has also been perceived to be capable of improving the quality of
teaching and learning by fostering open educational practices (OEP).
• There are no requirements for admission to these courses. Anybody
who has access to the internet can simply go to its website and self-
register in the courses on offer. Learners who meet the requirements of
these courses receive certificate of completion.

Current and Future Trends in
Media and Information
• Many of the technological advances we are seeing today will
shape our daily life in the future – the way we relax, interact,
communicate and conduct business.
• From virtual worlds, avatar emotions, artificial intelligence,
computer generated storytelling and narrative, interactive 360
holographic images, mixed reality, stress disorder virtual
therapies and so much more.
• ICT will continue to advance, empower and transform every
aspect of our life. Check out some of these emerging
technologies and trends.
Haptics technology
Is a feedback technology
(using computer
applications) that takes
advantage of the user’s
sense of touch.
Contextual awareness
By combining ‘hard sensor’ information such as
where you are and the conditions around you,
combined with ‘soft sensors’
Voice and Tone Recognition
Not only can voice and
tone recognition be used
to confirm a
person’s identity but tone
recognition can be used to
detect a person’s health or
emotional state.
Intelligent Routing to Devices
It provide the precise description
and location of a
street-based issue using
Smartphones and mobile devices
that can take photos and have
GPS
(global positioning system)
support.
Eye Tracking Technology
It measures eye positions and
movements which are
analyzed through computer
applications.
• Law enforcement
• Airport security
• Retail • Health care
• Safety • Human-computer interaction
Internet Glasses
Technology that can
display images
directly onto our
retinas
Wearable Technology
A new trend in wherein
people are given the
convenience of literally
wearing their gadgets
for multiple purposes.
Written Works #1
Then, Now and Beyond
Choose a current media and information technology you
currently own and patronize and create a review about it.
Then ask an elder (parent, aunts or uncles, grandparents) for
their opinion of a similar yet earlier version of the technology
you used for your own review.
Lastly, think of how this technology will develop 10 years
from now.
