Let's discuss about task.

Moral Machine Activity – Experience & Learning

The Moral Machine activity placed me in difficult ethical scenarios where I had to decide who should be saved in self-driving car accidents.

• Experience: I often felt conflicted when choosing between saving different groups of people. It revealed my unconscious biases — for example, whether to prioritize age, profession, or law-abiding behavior.

• Learning Outcome:

  • Ethical dilemmas in AI are never neutral.

  • Technology mirrors human values and biases.

  • It made me more aware of the importance of fairness and accountability in AI.

Pedagogical Shift from Text to Hypertext

Part 1: From Text to Hypertext

• Traditional linear reading is being replaced by non-linear, hyperlinked exploration.

• Digital natives prefer interactive, multimedia-rich learning experiences.

• The “subject” (teacher, learner, and content) becomes decentered — knowledge is no longer one-way but collaborative.

 Part 2: Language & Literature in the Digital Age

• Literature is no longer confined to print; it now exists in blogs, fanfiction, collaborative platforms, and digital storytelling.

• Authorship becomes shared and participatory, with readers often becoming co-creators.

• Teachers must blend literary analysis with digital literacy, helping students critically engage with online texts.

 Part 3: Teaching Digital Natives

• Pedagogy must adapt to blended, flipped, and hypertext-based learning.

• Teachers act as facilitators and curators, guiding learners through vast digital resources.

• Students become co-creators of meaning, engaging with texts in participatory and interactive ways.

Video Summary: Pedagogical Shift from Text to Hypertext

The lecture on Pedagogical Shift from Text to Hypertext highlights how education is undergoing a cultural and technological transformation in the digital age. It explains that traditional text-based, linear learning is being replaced by hypertext, which allows non-linear, interconnected, and multimedia-driven exploration. This shift has changed how digital natives read, learn, and engage with knowledge, moving from passive consumption to active participation. Literature, once confined to printed books, now extends into blogs, fanfiction, collaborative platforms, and digital storytelling, where authorship becomes shared and participatory. For teachers, this means adopting new pedagogical strategies such as blended and flipped classrooms, integrating digital literacy with traditional analysis, and acting as facilitators who guide learners through vast online resources. The lecture concludes that this shift is not merely technological but also cultural, requiring learners and educators alike to be critical, ethical, and creative participants in a hypertext-driven world.

Final Reflection

This assignment connected two important themes:

• Ethics in AI (Moral Machine): Technology reflects human values and requires ethical awareness.

• Digital Pedagogy (Hypertext): Education is shifting from teacher-centered to learner-centered, with hypertext and digital media reshaping how we read, write, and learn.

Together, they taught me that as future learners and educators, we must be both ethically responsible and digitally literate.
