Why is this Important?
New media Technology has brought a new dimension to the learning paradigm and newer methods of imparting information. New media technology is rapidly impacting the function, methodology, and delivery of education, health, governance, communications, and social engagement.
Various governments across the world use new media technologies in various known or covert ways to provide e-government services, to improve education, healthcare, and to foster economic development. The potential of new media technologies to facilitate social movements, political participation, and a space for public engagement is visible across the world.
The advances in new media technology deserve scholarly debates and this convention promises to deliver that between academics, media practitioners, government workers, and students. The gathering will present and debate the opportunities and challenges of this important topic.
In what ways can societies employ this new media technology to further social mobility, curb ignorance, address critical issues of this era such as poverty, political instability, public health, governance, ethical issues, among other issues?
