Abstract

Contemporary rapid advancements in science and technology have brought about and continue to convey change in all sectors of everyday life. Education as one of the institutions of utmost importance is directly and indirectly affected by these changes and needs to redefine its role to keep pace. Nowadays, information and communications technologies (ICTs), in which audiovisual media technologies are encompassed, are omnipresent in all educational levels and disciplines, including media studies. New approaches in traditional teaching methodologies, which demand many skills and abilities by the educators, are reformulated through utilization of audiovisual media technologies, aiming at administering enriched outcomes that support the objectives that are set, especially in the field of media studies, where audiovisual media technologies are an integral part and even inherent in many of the courses (journalism, radio, television, social media, public relations, communication). The purpose of this paper is to summarize, through a theory and bibliographic review, the various implementations of audiovisual media as the educational techniques and tools that will provide technology-enhanced learning. As this paper is an investigation of the effects of audiovisual media in technology-enhanced learning and teaching methodologies, the contribution to the discipline of media studies is straightforward.

Introduction

In contemporary society of globalization, special emphasis is placed on technology, concerning the achievement of quality, improvement, and/or change in almost all everyday life domains, including learning and working. Information and communications technologies (ICTs) are essentially contributing to the enhancement and effectiveness of the provided education, which has always been at the center of social changes, as it influences, directs, and naturally delivers knowledge. Audiovisual media technologies are integrated in ICTs and are used as tools to create and disseminate digital media literacy, employing widespread content delivery modes, which results in acquiring improved knowledge. Blackboard (1841), motion picture (1940), television (1957), and the internet (1992) at their times were considered pioneering tools and devices [2], while today, social media networks, internet services, and applications and new media as a general term are the new technologies [3,4,5] that have contributed significantly to the field of education by enhancing learning [6].
