Participation in digital media is subject to normative requirements in democratic societies, which must be conveyed and acquired in educational processes. Digital systems can influence all stages of the communication process. In communication, recipients often no longer know why they are offered certain dialogues in push mode and when they are in dialogue with people or machines. Against this background, the acquisition of media, communicative and digital literacy represents a fundamental ethical and educational challenge of the present.
Schools and other educational institutions are faced with the task of bringing the significance of algorithms into the focus of media-related reflection. It refers primarily to the production, products, evaluation, selection, distribution and reception of digital media offerings.
In a thematic three-step process of information, participation and reflection, the conference attempts to describe digital communication between humans and machines at the different levels of the media communication field (production, product, distribution, reception), to understand its structure and potential effects from an ethical and educational point of view, and to formulate conclusions for educational discourses in democratic societies.
