Ulsan Office of Education Develops Customized Digital Media Literacy Education Materials

Joint Initiative with Ulsan Citizens Media Center

Analysis of Achievement Standards by Subject and Development of Materials by School Level

Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education (Superintendent Cheon Changsu) will collaborate with the Ulsan Media Center for Viewers (Director Oh Wontae) to develop digital media literacy educational materials.

The Office of Education plans to invest 14 million KRW to develop these materials by the end of this year.

Digital media literacy refers to the ability to understand the digital environment and media characteristics, discern the authenticity of information, and communicate rationally.

This project was initiated to help students acquire the competency to actively respond to changes in digital media technology.

To this end, on the 19th, the Ulsan Office of Education signed a business agreement with the Ulsan Media Center for Viewers at the Office's Nanum Conference Room to jointly develop customized digital media literacy education materials for schools.

The Ulsan Media Center for Viewers plans to analyze the achievement standards of each subject in the 2022 revised curriculum and develop five educational programs, including video materials and activity sheets, for each school level (elementary, middle, and high school). The five educational programs will cover calculation methods (algorithms), big data, extended virtual worlds (metaverse), web drama, and coding animation (cartoon).

An official from the Ulsan Office of Education expressed hope that with the development of these educational materials, schools will be able to actively utilize digital media literacy resources without concerns about copyright.

Chae Changyoung, Director of Future Education, said, "We will develop a variety of materials to support students in learning and growing effectively in the digital environment."
