Twelfth International Conference on e-Learning & Innovative Pedagogies

Abstract

How does one create any message using media (through written word on a blog, auditory stimulation through a podcast, visually through video)? The answer presents itself through a series of questions that must be answered in order to produce the desired outcome. What is the message? Who is the target audience? What is the best mode of communication for the message? What is the best platform to reach the desired audience? Can the message be recycled through multiple platforms (social media networking) and how can that action be encouraged? The answers change depending on the learning management system, let alone the impact of constantly changing demographics, fads, and innovations in technology. The key is to keep on top of trends by engaging with the trendsetters, and to innovate and integrate constantly while expanding proven methods. The message producer must strive to communicate while not only being open to, but desirous of results that in nature educate, inform and empower the producer. The result will then be reciprocal education that continues to feed itself.
