The Medium is the Message, or the Mediating Conditions for Informing Systems
Författare
Summary, in English
In this paper, the works of communication theorist Marshall McLuhan will be laid out in a socio-technical tradition of thoughts. Noted for coining the term ‘the global village’, another well-recognized adage of McLuhan is ‘the medium is the message’. Adapting the perspective of viewing information systems essentially as a language and meaning environment, the set of ideas offered by McLuhan offers a promising way to think about the relationship between media, meaning and language. Inspired by his work, I explore the media-specific qualities of two different media associated with higher education – traditional classroom and the rising online format.
