The rapid development of digital media technology and its effects on our social, political, economic life cannot be underestimated. Media academics cannot underestimate the penetration and impact of the flow of ideas and information through these technologies. At the same time, they cannot even ignore the challenges and opportunities presented to media education through these technologies. The Working Group aims to initiate points of discussion to look into future challenges of teaching in media and communication and how media academics need to work for collaborative networking skills to work in national and global societies. Furthermore, the discussion will also try to look into possible teaching strategies that need to be worked on to enrich the learning experience of students of media and communication. The objective of the Working Group is just not to do situation analysis but to see how media technologies can complement our efforts to make a better future for ourselves through media education.
