Educational Media: History
Please note this is an old version of this entry, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Educational media refers to the range of communication tools, formats, and platforms used to support teaching and learning by presenting, organizing, and transmitting educational content [1][2][3][4]. It includes print materials, audio resources, video, broadcast media, digital applications, interactive platforms, and multimodal resources used in formal, non-formal, and online learning environments [1][2]. Educational media is characterized by intentional instructional use: media selection and design are aligned with learning objectives, learner needs, and pedagogical strategies rather than used only for information display. In educational research and practice, the term denotes media as a structured component of instructional systems that can influence attention, comprehension, engagement, and knowledge retention when integrated with appropriate teaching methods and assessment [1][2][3][4].
