Abstract Information and Communication Technology (ICT) awareness campaign has been launched by the then Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohamed on October 11, 1997 aims to ensure that all Malaysians can take advantage of its technology. As a result, ICT is now extensively applied in various fields of life. This article aims to examine the issue of the use of new media as a medium of religious learning and the proposed solution due to problems from its use in accordance with Islamic perspective. Current developments indicate that ICT users are increasingly close to new media and its use has been stretched to the debate on religion and its need in daily life. However, new media has pros and cons effect on its users especially in terms of its content, resources and several other features as social media. Hence, the use of social media to spread religios information and various activities in the process of transforming online dakwah from users’ view and its solution from Islamic perspective will be discussed in more detail in this paper. The results of this study can serve as a basic guide by the Muslim missionaries and communities in receiving and using online information as a medium of religious teaching and learning.   Keywords: New media; Islamic shariah; Dakwah; religious teaching and learning; Internet

<p>Democracy as a political and the government system has demonstrated its existence in the history of the world. This existence can be seen from the many countries that implement it, especially Indonesia. The democratic process becomes an interesting phenomenon because it cannot be separated from the dynamics of the community itself.</p><p>At present the community has entered the digital era, that the utilization of information and communication technology are massive. One phenomenon of concern is the widespread use of social media. The reality of the utilization of social media not only showed the trend of community interaction and communication but also the trend of political participation which correlates with the sustainability of democracy in Indonesia. At least, it has happened in the last decades, where political figures have been using social media as a channel to construct personal image. On the other hand, social media for civil society is as a new media (alternative media) in channeling aspirations, support, and even criticism to political and government figures.</p><p>Social media trends also cannot be separated from the figure of young people as massive users of these contemporary products. Even social media is a preference for young people to participate in upholding democratization in Indonesia. It can be seen from the posts or their responses to the socio-political conditions in this country through their account lines and the number of comments they wrote on the accounts of a number of political and government figures.</p><p><strong><em>Keywords: democracy, social media, youth. </em></strong></p>

Perkembangan pesat teknologi informasi dan komunikasi turut mendukung proses transformasi pengetahuan, ideologi serta paham kegamaan, sehingga remaja dengan mudah mengkonsumsi berbagai paham (terutama radikalisme) melalui media sosial. Meskipun remaja tidak terlibat dalam suatu kelompok maupun kajian-kajian tertentu, namun beberapa remaja terpapar paham radikal karena intens mengakses paham radikal melalui media sosial. Media sosial dalam konteks ini dipandang sebagai pintu masuk paham-paham radikal sehingga dikuatirkan paham ini akan memengaruhi remaja secara massif akibat penggunaan media sosial tanpa pengawasan pihak terkait. Beberapa permasalahan, diantaranya; beragamnya paham-paham yang menyebar di kalangan remaja, beragamnya strategi dakwah di kalangan remaja, sulitnya membedakan perilaku kelompok kegamaan yang radikal, banyaknya kegiatan-kegiatan remaja yang tidak dianggap tidak sesuai. Tujuan Penelitian adapun tujuan penelitian ini yakni sebagai berikut: Pertama, Mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis tentang paham-paham keagamaan di kalangan remaja. Kedua, Mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis bentuk strategi dakwah di tengah pluralitas. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ada tiga strategi dakwah plural dalam merawat pluralitas di kalangan remaja: Pertama, strategi kultural, Kedua Startegi Struktural, Ketiga Staregi New Media.The rapid development of information and communication technology also supports the process of transformation of knowledge, ideology and understanding of religiosity, so that adolescents can easily consume various understandings (especially radicalism) through social media. Even though adolescents are not involved in a particular group or studies, some adolescents are exposed to radical understanding because it is intense in accessing radical understanding through social media. Social media in this context is seen as the entrance to radical notions so it is feared that this understanding will affect adolescents massively due to the use of social media without the supervision of related parties. Some problems, including; the variety of understandings that spread among adolescents, the variety of propaganda strategies among adolescents, the difficulty of distinguishing radical religious group behavior, the many teenage activities that are not considered inappropriate. Research Objectives As for the purpose of this study are as follows: First, Identifying and analyzing religious understandings among adolescents. Second, describe and analyze the form of da'wah strategy in the midst of plurality. Based on the results of the study there are three da'wah strategies in treating plurality among adolescents: First, cultural strategy, Second Structural Strategy, Third New Media Strategy.

The process of post-conflict reconstruction in Liberia involves an array of actors vying for power. Many of the key political and civic figures involved are former warlords, whose reigns of terror affected many they now work with and serve. By reframing themselves through social media these warlords have created new centers of power, embracing their new roles as public servants and renouncing past acts of terrorism. This article focuses on two of Liberia’s most notorious former warlords, Prince Johnson and Joshua Blahyi. Johnson, now Senator Johnson, was best known for swilling beer while he conducted the video-taped torture of President Doe. Joshua Blahyi, formerly General Butt Naked, who infamously drank children’s blood before running naked into battle, is now a born-again preacher with his own faith-based NGO. We argue that their use of social media has enabled them to reconstruct and reframe their ‘past lives’, ensuring these cannot become political liabilities.

This paper examines the abduction of the schoolgirls in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State, Nigeria in 2014. The paper examined how the abduction of the schoolgirls generated responses and support for the rescue of the abducted girls from people and organization from different parts of the globe. The Islamists terrorist organization operating in Borno State has attracted the attention of the world since 2009 when they started attacking government establishments and security installations northeast which later escalated to major cities in Northern Nigeria. Methodologically, the paper utilized secondary sources of data to analyze the phenomenon studied. The paper revealed that the development and innovations in information and communication technology which dismantled traditional and colonial boundaries enabled people to express support, solidarity and assist victims of conflict who resides millions of Kilometers away. This shows that Internet-based communications technology has reduced the distance of time and space that characterised traditional mass media. The campaign for the release of the schoolgirls on the social media platforms particularly Twitter and Facebook has tremendously contributed to the release of some of them. Furthermore, the girls freed from abduction have received proper attention: education and reintegration programmes which enable them to start post-abduction life. In this regard, social media has become a tool for supporting the government in moments of security challenges which the Bring Back Our Girls campaign attracted foreign and domestic assistance to Nigeria in the search of the abducted girls and the fight against the Islamist insurgents.

Abstract This article explores Pakistani and Bhutanese teacher educators’ digital competences about the use of social media, digital resources and professional online communities and implications of this on professional learning. The two countries, less discussed in international educational literature, are facing a growing use of the Internet in teaching and learning. Data include a survey completed by 67 teacher educators from Pakistan and 37 teachers from Bhutan, as well as semi-structured interviews from both countries. This study provides evidence of how teachers’ interaction on social networks and the use of digital resources play a central role in the introduction of innovative pedagogical practices of teacher educators, and teacher educators remain interested in knowledge sharing through social media for their professional learning.

Abstract The main purpose of this article is to present the results of research concerning the use of social media by companies from the SME sector in Podkarpackie Province. The article includes data obtained in the first stage of the study, which is a part of a research project on the use of social media in the area of creating the image of an organization / company as an employer.The survey covered the entire population of companies from the SME sector, which are registered in Podkarpackie Province (REGON database). The research phase, the results of which are presented in this article, mainly involved the analysis of data on companies from the SME sector in Podkarpackie Province in terms of their presence on the Internet (having an individual website, having company profiles on selected social networks). The results of the first stage of the study confirm that the companies see the potential of the online presence / functioning in social media (more and more companies have their own website, Facebook profiles). The dynamics of changes in this area is definitely not adequate to the pace of new media development. On the basis of preliminary results of further stages of the research, it can also be concluded that in the vast majority of cases, however, these are non-strategic and non-systematic activities.

AbstractTo understand the success of SKAM, the series’ innovative use of “social media” must be taken into consideration. The article follows two lines of argument, one diachronic, the other synchronic. The concept of remediation allows for a historical perspective that places the series in a longer tradition of “real time”-fictions and media practices that span from the epistolary novels of the 18th century by way of radio theatre and television serials to the new media of the 21st century. Framing the series within the current media ecology (marked by the connectivity logic of “social media”), the authors analyze how the choice of the blog as the drama’s media platform has formed the ways the series succeeded in affecting and mobilizing its audience. Given the long tradition of strong pedagogical premises in the teenager serials of publicly financed Norwegian television, the authors note the absence of any explicit media critical perspectives or didacticism. Nevertheless, the claim is that the media-practices of the series, as well as the actions and discourses of its followers (blogposts, facebook-groups, etc.), generate new insights and knowledge with regards to the series’ form, content, and practices.

The aim of this study was to identify and analyse the Islamic Education teachers’ attitudes, difficulties and purposes while using social media in the educational processes in the Saudi context. In doing so, this study adopted a quantitative, descriptive approach based on empirical data collected by means of a questionnaire. The study sample consisted of 124 teachers of Islamic Education in Hail, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). While the participants reported positive attitudes towards the use of social media in the educational processes, the results showed their low use of social media which was limited mainly to personal purposes rather than using them for teaching learning activities. Based on the results, the study recommends developing teachers’ knowledge and skills to make them aware of the use of social media in education and encourage them to utilize them for teaching and learning activities. Since social media are ubiquitous and being widely used for personal reasons, their integration into the curricula and syllabi may further increase the teaching and learning of Islamic Education in Saudi Arabia.
