Coursera Inc. is a U.S.-based massive open online course provider founded in 2012 by Stanford University computer science professors Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller. Coursera works with universities and other organizations to offer online courses, certifications, and degrees in a variety of subjects.
In this blog, I'll try one of the coursera free course. I choose English for Media Literacy from University of Pennsylvania.
In this unit you will learn what media literacy means and how you can improve your own media literacy skills. Through selected readings, interviews, and video lectures, you will learn what questions to ask and how to analyze the messages you receive through the media each day. You will also learn and use vocabulary that will help you understand media literacy. This unit will end with a discussion board that analyzes how one of your friend or family members consumes and understands media.
In the Media in Today's World subtopic, I learn about perceiving media in a different way and also previewing a text in media. I also completed the exercise for better learning.
In the Media Literacy subtopic, I learn more about media literacy, separating fact from fiction, analyzing media messages, and skimming & scanning. I also completed the exercise and assessment for better learning.
In the Bonus Additional Resources subtopic, they give me a review of the material from the previous subtopic. I also completed the exercise for better learning.
