Community of Inquiry - Learning Experience

The Community of Inquiry stood out to me in my research as it relates closely to online learning, which we are doing currently. This framework is used to represent an effective process where you can have an efficient learning experience using three important elements; social, cognitive, and a teaching presence.

Teaching presence- is important for direct instructions and organization

 Social Presence- the ability to express open communication, affective expression, and group cohesion.

Cognitive presence- such as assignments and quizzes, which are supported/made easier by the other two presences (teaching and social)

Assignment B Claim

For Assignment B, I've decided on the hypothesis that cable news networks use fear-inducing stories to gain more media attraction, but at the cost of their viewer's mental health; especially in women above the age of 30. I worked this into the claim below: Claim :  "Women above the age of 30 have increased mental stress when watching cable news due to its fear-inducing segments. " Media Dependency theory is used by media outlets as a tool to attract and keep high viewership. A key element of Media Dependency theory surrounds the idea that feeling like you are in a state of crisis leads a person to be more reliant on mass media for information.  Prototype :  I am still ideating the prototype I will use however I do know that I will be measuring Fear in this experiment, which I would need to somehow obtain from viewers of cable news.  In addition, I would need to figure out which cable news channels to choose from. I am considering just looking up who has the highest v...

Britannica Media Dependency Theory

What I Found: Britannica Lists a summarized and easy to understand definition of how Media Dependency Works and how the spine of the framework functions. Its is basically a relationship in which the fulfillment of a party's needs is reliant on the resources that media provides. A sort of dependency relationship that an audience has with modes of media. Basic Definition: Media dependency theory , a systematic approach to the study of the effects of mass media on audiences and of the interactions between media, audiences, and social systems. It was introduced in outline by the American communications researchers Sandra Ball-Rokeach and Melvin DeFleur in 1976. "Two of the basic propositions put forward by Ball-Rokeach and DeFleur are: (1) the greater the number of social functions performed for an audience by a medium (e.g., informing the electorate, providing entertainment), the greater the audience’s dependency on that medium, and (2) the greater the instability of a society (e...

How Covid-19 Fear Appeal is harming the global community study

"How Fear Appeal Approaches in COVID-19 Health Communication May Be Harming the Global Community" This journal is actually the first one I read that labels Fear Appeals as 'Scare Tactics' so perhaps there may be some biased perceptions in this study. Nevertheless, the data they provide is important and I will be noting some of it's points in my essay.   Notes: Abstract: "Fear appeals, also known as scare tactics, have been widely used to promote recommended preventive behaviors. We contend that unintended negative outcomes can result from fear appeals that intensify the already complex pandemic and efforts to contain it. We encourage public health professionals to reevaluate their desire to use fear appeals in COVID-19 health communication and recommend that evidence-based health communication be utilized to address the needs of a specific community, help people understand what they are being asked to do, explain step-by-step how to complete preventative beh...
