Media Literacy, Artificial Intelligence and American ValuesRenee Hobbs
Delivered at the Holland Symposium at Angelo State University, February 15, 2024.
Digital tools are used to create a tsunami of entertainment, information, and persuasion that floods into our daily lives because media messages influence knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors. Some people are overwhelmed and others are exhilarated by the rise of generative AI, which is quickly becoming normative for both creators and consumers alike. At the same time, mistrust and distrust are rising because it’s so easy to use digital media tools to activate strong emotions, simplify information, and attack opponents. Thanks to algorithmic personalization, new forms of propaganda are being created and shared on social media. Tailored to our deepest hopes, fears, and dreams, these messages can, at times, seem irresistible.
But the practice of media literacy education offers a humanistic response to the changing nature of knowledge caused by the rise of big data and its reshaping of the arts, business, the sciences, education, and the humanities. Learn how educators can help learners to ask critical questions that enable people to recognize the subtle forms of manipulation embedded in all forms of symbolic expression. Gain an understanding of the business models and technological affordances of AI, machine learning, and big data in order to distinguish between harmful and beneficial AI tools, texts, and technologies. Learn why creative and critical thinking, when it is combined with intellectual humility and empathy, help people develop the identity of a lifelong learner. When media literacy is embedded in education at all levels, people can find common ground, restore trust, and deepen respect for the shared human values of care and compassion.

Media Education in the Era of Algorithmic Personalization: Facing Polarizati...Renee Hobbs
Keynote address at the INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AND TRAINNING
ON DIGITAL AND MEDIA EDUCATION
PRELIMINARY PROGRAM
Cluj-Napoca, Romania, October 25-28, 2023
This document discusses digital media literacy pedagogies. It notes that educators incorporate these approaches for various reasons such as engaging and motivating learners, activating critical thinking, and building students' confidence as authors. The create to learn process involves 5 steps: access, analyze, create, reflect, and take action. Instructors support learning through offering a mix of creative freedom and control. When students shift from passive learning to creating media, they increase engagement and motivation. The document asks questions to prompt reflection on incorporating these approaches in one's own teaching.
Media Literacy Education in a Global SocietyRenee Hobbs
What We’re Learning and What We Still Need to Know
By Renee Hobbs
Media literacy education has greatly increased in visibility as increasing political polarization continues to threaten democratic societies. Around the world, tech companies invest in media literacy education, hoping that it will stave off regulation of their digital platforms. Journalists and politicians hope media literacy education will increase the public’s appetite for quality journalism to improve civic education. Parents expect that media literacy will help protect their children against the harms and risks of growing up with social media. And educators at all levels are beginning to recognize that the 4 C’s of media literacy (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication skills) are increasingly central to an emerging conceptualization of a “new liberal arts” education. Which of these themes and areas of emphasis are privileged as media literacy education is implemented around the world? What are the most urgent needs still to be addressed? How can the many stakeholders for media literacy better coordinate their efforts to accelerate implementation?

Some literacy educators still hold to the idea that audiovisual media and digital technologies are the enemies of print culture, but a growing number of educators are exploring the synergistic relationship between different forms of reading that occur when the concept of text is expanded to include images, graphic design, multimodality, moving image media, and online content. At home, parents cultivate children's understanding of story structure by engaging in activities that involve children's re-telling of books, cartoons, games, and short films. They pause children's videos to ask questions, comment on action and predict what will happen next. Such practices cultivate viewing as a cognitively active process, a concept that was first articulated in the 1970s but continues to be more deeply appreciated with the rise of YouTube culture, where the distinction between authors and audiences is diminished. During the elementary grades, teachers use media literacy competencies when reading children's picturebooks, calling attention to when the words of a story and the image of the story conflict or deliver different messages. Active "reading" of picture books is a practice that foregrounds the meaning-making process and elevates reading comprehension beyond mere decoding. When educators reframe their work with youth as less about passing high-stakes tests and more about learning to navigate the multiple literacy contexts in which they live, learn, and work, students' motivation for reading increases. For this reason, literacy specialists are exploring links between disciplinary literacy, inquiry, and media literacy. Media literacy instructional practices honor students' popular culture and lived experience, and offer opportunities for students to bring their affect, emotion, imagination, and social interaction into reading practices that examine and challenge cultural conventions like materialism and consumerism that are reproduced in media culture on a daily basis.
Educators are themselves citizens who express and share political views as part of their personal identity. They may care deeply about issues including climate change, immigration/migration, growing economic inequality, health and wellness, racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination, or other topics of concern. But in the classroom, some educators do not feel confident or comfortable exploring controversial issues with students, while others make clear their particular positions on political issues without necessarily reflecting on the inequality in power relationships that may silence their
students. The practice of critical media analysis and reflection help teachers navigate both the opportunities and the challenges of exploring contemporary controversies in the
classroom. Teachers benefit greatly from safe and structured opportunities to talk about the ethical and moral implications of their decisions to address or ignore controversial issues in the classroom.

Create to Learn: Advancing Collaboration and CreativityRenee Hobbs
Academic librarians, technologists, and higher education faculty have been actively experimenting with new forms of digital learning during the global pandemic. In the process, they have discovered some valuable strategies and practices that will continue to fuel innovation in teaching, learning, and scholarship for years to come. In this session, we’ll discuss why it’s more important than ever before to have complicated conversations about all the literacies - information, media, news, digital, critical, and those that are yet to be named. How do these competencies get integrated into all programs and courses across the liberal arts and sciences? In this session, we’ll take time to experiment, working in small groups, using create-to-learn pedagogies that can provoke intellectual curiosity by combining play and learning. Then, we’ll reflect on how creative collaboration can offer a liberating way to open up spaces of possibility and adaptation for the stakeholders in our own institutions and communities.
