EDUCAUSE, a nonprofit association and community of IT leaders and professional
describe Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) as “a model for delivering learnings
content online to any person who wants to take a course, with no limit on
attendance. EDUCAUSE’s mission is to advance higher education through the use
of information technology.
There is a growing interest of MOOCs as indicated by big investment in companies
(Coursera, Udacity, Udemy), similar non-profit initiative (edX), and learning
managements systems (Canvas Backboard). According to each writer Justine
Reich, MOOCs are open in two respect (volume, 2012).
1. Open enrollment to students outside a hosting university (as in “open
registration”).
2. The materials of the course were licensed using Creative Common licenses
so their materials could be mixed and reused by others (as in open license).
The educational benefits of MOOCs can be maximized if organizations or
institutions that offer such sources are made more open though Creative
Commons licensing. This way, academic and professional institutions reach more
online user, thus, flourishing open education movement.
Wearable Technology
A wearable technology is also called wearable gadgets; it is a category of technology
devices that can be worn by a costumer and often include tracking information
related to health and fitness. A technology that helps the athletes to get qualified
input about vital data during work-out. These wearable devices or wearables are
electronic technologies or computers that are incorporated in to items of clothing
and accessories which can comfortably be worm the body.
The characteristic of wearable, according to Wearable Devices magazine, include the
following.
• performing computer related tasks such as laptops and mobile phones.
• provide sensory and scanning features {such as biofeedback and tracking of
physiological function} that are typically not seen in mobile or laptop devices
• Have some form of communication capability and will allow the wearer
access to information in real time.
• Date input capabilities
• Local storages capabilities
Different fields such as health and medicine, fitness aging, disabilities, education,
transportation, enterprise, finance, gaming and music” have slowly started to adapt
the use of such technologies to improve people’s lives. some example of devices
includes.
• watches
• glasses
• contact lenses
• e-textiles and smart fabrics
• headbands
• beanies and caps
• jewelry
• hearing-aid- like devices {design to look like earrings
Wearable Technology is now the pioneer and worldwide leading innovation and
market development platform for technologies worn close to the body, on the body
or even in the body. Wearable technology will continue to have an impact to modern
society of media and information users. For younger people like you, wearable
technologies provide opportunity to mix functionality with aesthetics. Hardheld
device and gadgets may be incorporated with one’s fashion sense while having a
mobile access to information. According to the magazine, “already, the current
handheld devices available to consumers, such as smart phones, iPods, and
tablets, have change the technological and social landscapes on the global scale,
such that walking out in the public and seeing an individual engaging with a hand-
held device is commonplace”
Smartwatch is a wearable computing device that closely resembles a wristwatch or
other time-keeping device. In addition to telling time, many smartwatches are
Bluetooth-capable. The watch becomes, in effect, a wireless Bluetooth adaptor
capable.

Fitness tracker. It is a gadget that can be worn by an individual throughout
the day to keep track of various body parameters. Any wearable fitness tracker
needs the person using it to input physiological details such as their weight, height,
gender to help the tracker make better sense of the data that it collects. This
personalization helps in processing the data generated by the fitness tracker. There
are a number of sensors which may be added to a tracker, but most commonly
motion sensors are used to determine body movements.
Heart Rate Monitoring Device. A technology that will calculate and monitor
your heart rate.
Fitbit Charge. This watch is good for exercise. It can count your running
time and the distance.

3D Environment (3D printer and 3D Films, Holograms)
You may have seen computer graphics as well as animations and animatronic in
video, games, movies, and TV shows. 3D graphics environmental have added
texture to our media experience because of the images with we see in three in
dimensional rendering.
According to www.imagearts.ryerson.ca, there are three basic phases in 3D
computer graphics creation.
1. 3D modeling – the process of forming a computer model of an object’s shape
2. Layout and amination – the motion of placement of objects within a scene
3. 3D rendering – the computer calculation that, generate the images based on light
placement, surface types, and other qualities.
Ubiquitous Learning
Ubiquitous learning, also called u-learning, is the interaction between humans and
computers in order to learn. It’s important to note that the term computers here
don’t only refer to desktop and laptop computers. Instead, computers are
considered any digital device. However, just having a computer or digital device
doesn’t make learning ubiquitous. What separates ubiquitous learning from the
broader term e-learning is that ubiquitous learning evolves learners being
constantly in contact with technology always having the ability to learn. In a sense,
ubiquitous learning is “learning on demand.” This is similar to mobile learning in
that the learner is not hindered by his or her location.
A student is more involved in the learning process u-learning utilizes all forms of
materials “that may be transferred to mobile devices.” These material can be videos,
audios, PowerPoint presentations, or notes with embedded source data in them. A
student may not be conscious that he or she is undergoing a learning process even
by simply watching the video or reading the notes.
Characteristics of Ubiquitous Learning
Top researchers in ubiquitous learning describe ubiquitous learning as having six
characteristics. These are:
• Permanency: Both course material and material produced by students is
never deleted on purpose; the only time material is deleted is in unforeseen
circumstances. Further, student’s performance and course materials are
continuously being updated.
• Accessibility: Because learning data like coursework, assignments, and
lectures are permanent, students should always have access to the material.
Because this material is accessible, students can be much more self-directed
and more independent that previously.
• Immediacy: Students should be able to get information whenever they want.
The information students request may be local, stored on their device, or not
local, the data is most likely stored on a server somewhere and is accessed
by the learner over the internet.
• Interactivity: Learners should be able to interact with other people in their
“educational network.” These people can include the teacher of the course,
classmates, or even experts in the field. Interactivity can be synchronous,
requiring participants to be present at the same time, such as a video
conversation or instant messaging chatroom, or asynchronous, such as an
uploaded video to YouTube or a forum.
• Situating of instructional activities: The problems and knowledge gained
from learning activities are presented in a natural way or in a way that
would mimic a real-world situation.
• Adaptability: Technology should be able to adapt to students’ changing
lives.
Advantages of Ubiquitous Learning
The most obvious advantage of ubiquitous learning is that learners can be
anywhere. Similar to previous implementations of learning using technology in
education, learners are not tied to a certain location. However, because students
often have their phones on them at all times, students have 24-7 access to a
learning environment.
Activity 4: Reflect and Evaluate (0ptional)
1. How do the developments in media and information technology change the
way life of humans?
2. Although technology is viewed as indication of progress, what do you think
are some of disadvantages of having invented these sophisticated tools? Why
are they disadvantageous?
3. Is there really a need for more advanced technologies? Why or why not?
4. Name of trends or technology that you find useful?
Activity 5: Apply to Real Life (Optional)
You work as a mobile application developer. Your company asked to think of a
potential application that android and iOS user can download. The market of
mobile application is growing; thus, your company strictly expects that you propose
a unique of application. Your task is to draft a proposal of application in mind and
justify the need of the market for such. The proposal should contain the description
