LiDA104 - Draft learning pathways ready for review

Hi everyone,

I have completed the substantive learning pathways for LiDA104: "Critical media
literacies and associated digital skills." See:

http://course.oeru.org/lida104/learning-pathways/introduction-to-media-literacy/overview/

(You can access the source wiki pages via the "Content" link in the footer area
of the published course site.)

As per our open design conventions, please feel free to correct typos directly
on the wiki pages. Suggestions for substantive changes should be posted on the
corresponding talk page in the wiki or via this email list.

DEVELOPMENT NOTES:

1) I'm leaving the front matter till last - this will be quick and easy to
publish.
2) The definition of media literacy, and the learning outcome for this
microcourse includes the requirement to "create media" - so I have incorporated
an optional "image challenge" for each learning pathway.
3) You will note that I have not included many forum discussions and
interactions - this is by design. Given a wide international audience from
different cultural and world view perspectives, combined with important
critical media topics that could be a catalyst for controversy for those with a
tendency for trolling or little experience conversing across cultures - I want
to avoid the risks of flaming, potentially offensive comments etc.
4) I will complete the final pathway on "Create media" tomorrow and you will
see that have a clear concept of what to include in these sub-pages.

PLEASE HELP TO POPULATE SPOT POLLS for LiDA104

I would appreciate your help in seeding the spot polls included via
forums.oeru.org for this course so that learners do not encounter a space with
no votes.

Please create an account (if you don't already have one) and cast your votes:

1) Time spent online - see:

2) Citizen journalism - see:

3) Fake news - see:

Thanks!

Rest of post

I've completed the outstanding "Create media" learning pathway for LiDA104,
see:

http://course.oeru.org/lida104/learning-pathways/create-media/overview/

This took longer than I anticipated, in part due to an unforgiving workload
this week relating to OERF and OERu activities. In addition, while I am well
versed in FOSS applications for creating media on an open source operating
system, I had to make sure that learners running non-free operating systems
would be able to complete the mini-learning challenges using cross-platform
FOSS tools or proprietary software tools of their choice. A key value of the
OERu is that no learner should be required to purchase a proprietary software
license to engage on learning.

I'm still undecided as to whether we should incorporate a "screencasting"
subpage into the "Create media" learning pathway because this could help
learners in producing the multimodal presentation assignment.

As per our convention, feel free to fix typos etc directly in the wiki.
Suggestions for substantive changes should be posted on the corresponding talk
page in the wiki or via this email list.

I will now move onto polishing the front matter for the LiDA101 and getting the
course site fully operational for Ray's internal OP LiDA course starting on
Monday. (Note that all the learning pathway resources are ready and accessible
for learners who would like to use these resources.)
