Abstract
The author stresses the problem of defining the basic concepts related to communication and learning via new media, as well as the problem of selecting appropriate media for teaching and learning process (learning does not take place only in school!). The challenge of selecting learning and teaching media is not new, but the context of events created with the appearance of new digital communication media, especially the Internet, computer simulation and mobile communication devices, is new. The author provides explanations of concepts and phenomena such as media, multimedia and multimediality, attempting to systematize criteria for selection of teaching media for teaching purposes in today’s school. The main factors that contribute to the selection of a medium (and the strategy of teaching and learning) remain, as always, the expected learning outcomes, or the goals that the teaching process aims to achieve. Teaching and learning experts must resolve important issues, such as the relationship of personal and impersonal communication, the definition of the roles of the main actors in classroom communication, as well as issues in the didactic design of teaching situations. Growing up and learning in the new (multi)media educational environment requires significantly different didactic strategies and methodological scenarios from those which might have satisfied generations of learners thirty or fifty years ago.
