Digital technology, insofar as it promotes interactivity, integration and media convergence, brought to the contemporary agenda the discussion on a new distance education. This new distance education rejects bureaucratized and inflexible projects that depersonalize course attendants and inhibit innovation and creativity. The proposal put forward in the text is a pedagogy that promotes authoring, based on strategies that view the student as the protagonist of the educational act, respecting the complexity of human beings and their totality and capacity to build significations and generate socially relevant knowledge. This article presents projects that are being developed by the Education and Culture Ministry Distance Education Secretariat, using authoring pedagogy. These projects seek to foster and translate numerous responses from individual and collective actors motivated to explore, analyze, contextualize, deepen, and expand their own view and experience with a given issue.

Do So

Human beings have always made images, and to do so they have developed and refined an enormous range of artistic tools and materials. With the development of digital technology, the ways of making images—whether they are still or moving, 2D or 3D—have evolved at an unprecedented rate. At every stage of image making, artists now face a choice between using analog and using digital tools. Yet a digital image need not look digital; and likewise, a handmade image or traditional photograph need not look analog. If we do not see the artist’s choice between the analog and the digital, what difference can this choice make for our appreciation of images in the digital age? Image in the Making answers this question by accounting for the fundamental distinction between the analog and the digital; by explicating the technological realization of this distinction in image-making practice; and by exploring the creative possibilities that are distinctive of the digital. The case is made for a new kind of appreciation in the digital age. In appreciating the images involved in every digital art form—from digital video installation to net art to digital cinema—there is a basic truth that we cannot ignore: the nature and technology of the digital expands both what an image can be as an image and what an image can be for us.

Structural Coupling

This chapter approaches the issues involving Autopoietic and Alopoietic machines, under the perspective of structural coupling that appears in the interaction and interactivity in Metaverses. The authors present and discuss the subtopic “Autopoietic Machines: The Human Beings.” In the subtopic “Alopoietic Machines: The Nature of the Metaverse,” the authors explore the concept of alopoietic machines in relation to digital technology. In “Structural Coupling,” they define the concept based on the theory of Maturana and Varela (2002). The concept of autopoietic machines is extended through the subtopic “Language: Mode of Speech and Emotion.” In as a brief conclusion, the authors describe three different situations that contribute to the broadening of the concept of structural coupling.

New Challenges

Today humans live in the millennial era. The era that is a continuation of this global era has created new challenges that must be transformed into opportunities that can be put to good use, so that challenge brings a blessing for everyone to do. Since the millennial era besides having similarities also has differences, especially in the use of digital technology that goes beyond the computer era, this kaeadaan has invited a number of experts to speak out and at the same time offer a number of thoughts and ideas in dealing with it. Islamic education with various types and levels, ranging from traditional pesantren that is non-formal, hinggapesantren modern with various programs, ranging from kindergarten to college, is institutionally part of the national education system. With such a position, Islamic education will inevitably have to contribute, even responsible menak prepare human beings in the millennial era. That is a human being who is able to change challenges into opportunities, and can use them for his own material and spiritual welfare. This paper seeks to explore the potential contained in Islamic education with various types and levels in the face of challenges in the millennial era. This paper begins by presenting the characteristics and challenges of the millennial era, social problems and their impact on life.

AbstractThe proliferation of digital technology has swelled the amount of time people spent in cyberspace and weakened our sensibility of the physical world. Human beings in this digital era are already cyborgs as the smart devices have become an integral part of our life. Imagining a future where human totally give up mobile phones and embrace nature is neither realistic nor reasonable. What we should aim to explore is the opportunities and capabilities of digital technology in terms of fighting against its own negative effect - cyber addiction, and working as a catalyst that re-embeds human into outdoor world.Cyborgian systems behave through embedded intelligence in the environment and discrete wearable devices for human. In this way, cyborgian approach enables designers to take advantages of digital technologies to achieve two objectives: one is to improve the quality of environment by enhancing our understanding of non-human creatures; the other is to encourage a proper level of human participation without disturbing eco-balance.Finally, this paper proposed a cyborgian eco-interaction design model which combines top-down and bottom-up logics and is organized by the Internet of Things, so as to provide a possible solution to the concern that technologies are isolating human and nature.

COVID-19 has totally changed the way that we live, and it also changed the way we work. It changed the way all the businesses run. Many of the businesses today either shut down due to lack of technological performance or the others moved towards the online mode to sustain the market. During the time of this pandemic, the businesses had no choice other than to shift to online mode. Some of the businesses operate offline, and it was not possible for them to shift online in a very short time due to lack of technology, lack of knowledge, etc. They faced much difficulty to operate their business smoothly. So, the impact of technology during the COVID-19 pandemic played a very important role throughout the world. When this pandemic was at its peak, technology became a lifeline of the human beings. This chapter shows the trend of digital technology during the COVID-19 pandemic and some innovations during this pandemic.

Theoretical Rationale

No topic raises more contentious debate among educators than the role of interaction as a crucial component of the education process. This debate is fueled by surface problems of definition and vested interests of professional educators, but is more deeply marked by epistemological assumptions relative to the role of humans and human interaction in education and learning. The seminal article by Daniel and Marquis (1979) challenged distance educators to get the mixture right between independent study and interactive learning strategies and activities. They quite rightly pointed out that these two primary forms of education have differing economic, pedagogical, and social characteristics, and that we are unlikely to find a “perfect” mix that meets all learner and institutional needs across all curricula and content. Nonetheless, hard decisions have to be made. Even more than in 1979, the development of newer, cost effective technologies and the nearly ubiquitous (in developed countries) Net-based telecommunications system is transforming, at least, the cost and access implications of getting the mix right. Further, developments in social cognitive based learning theories are providing increased evidence of the importance of collaborative activity as a component of all forms of education – including those delivered at a distance. Finally, the context in which distance education is developed and delivered is changing in response to the capacity of the semantic Web (Berners-Lee, 1999) to support interaction, not only amongst humans, but also between and among autonomous agents and human beings. Thus, the landscape and challenges of “getting the mix right” have not lessened in the past 25 years, and, in fact, have become even more complicated. This paper attempts to provide a theoretical rationale and guide for instructional designers and teachers interested in developing distance education systems that are both effective and efficient in meeting diverse student learning needs.

Comprehensive Discussion

Education is a related structure that can never be defined or even exist as separate from human beings. Behavioral, cognitive, and constructivist paradigms each try to explain learning with different concepts and principles. Well, did these theories survive the distance education process? Let's say each theory survived in distance education. Then the following questions come up: What does motivation mean for these theories? How do these theories make the motivational structure sustainable in distance education? Aiming at a comprehensive discussion of these questions, the chapter offers many answers and brings many different questions to mind. This chapter will guide instructors and instructional designers to design efficient learning opportunities for learners.
