Media options depend largely on the subject matter. A cinematography, music, or visual arts course would require more multimedia options than a course on history, psychology, or business. Regardless, some course materials will invariably be in textual format no matter what the subject and so several resources would be ideal for the dissemination of text-based course material.
First, a course syllabus can be created in HTML to allow students to access assignment information and linked course readings from any computer. Distance learning courses must be created with as much online, Web-based resources as possible to encourage maximum student learning, interactivity, and participation in the course. Second, I would ensure that as many course readings were accessible online on reputable Web sites or scholarly databases students have access to through the university. Each unit will have its own Web page, linked together through a well designed, easy-to-navigate system. If budget is not a problem, I would hire a quality Web designer to aid in the development of the course site.
Third, I would upload any and all multimedia content to the course Web site. Multimedia content is helpful for any course because it allows students who are not primarily verbal learners to appreciate course content. Audio files, images, and videos can accompany almost any unit in the ten-unit project. Disabled students such as those who are visually impaired could benefit from audio files and I would create more robust audio files if any student asked for it.
Finally, I would make sure to create a parallel downloadable file in PowerPoint or similar presentation software so that students can review course materials while away from an Internet connection. Students who do not have computers available to them 24 hours a day cannot be expected to access materials at any time and will need to download numerous files for later review. I would consider creating files in PDA/handheld-friendly formats for easy access.
Student personality also affects the efficacy online format -- some extroverted students need the energy generated by the class to feel fully engaged with any material, regardless of the subject matter. Also, some students need individualized tutoring and support for material they find difficult, like the sciences. Moore stresses the importance of motivation and enthusiasm about the subject, and learning in general as critical aspects of benefiting from online learning
The spin that often surrounds war, is fundamentally damaging even if it is intended as damage control for the nation as a whole, or at the very least the leaders of the nation. Public Belief It has been hinted at within this work that the old adage, the public does not necessarily believe what it hears, but it hears what it believes is at play when it comes to media. As
Introduction Media plays a powerful role in politics in a variety of ways. Social media allows individuals to communicate ideas to followers. President Trump used social media—particularly Twitter—to great effect on the campaign trail, often firing off tweets to attack his political opponents.

As O'Sullivan noted, truth and courage are needed in the media today and in the future; however, there must be balance as well. An unfettered press is exactly what terrorists thrive on. Their attacks against humanity are nothing without the publicity they garner from the media. Therefore balance must be achieved. And, with that balance comes the positive aspects the media brings to terrorist actions. Through the media, Americans have
