The various electronic platforms have become an attractive industry for academic organizations within framework of the reality imposed by full or partial dependence of these organizations on the electronic system to provide elearning services. Therefore, use of electronic means in education changes the forms, practices and mechanisms of the communication process as a whole. Electronic dialogue is considered an organized and objective medium for measuring educational effectiveness, because dialogue in the educational process represents the most important element in communication success by providing new opportunities for interaction between the two parties of dialogue, then the richer the dialogue in terms of quality and frequency, the more the quality of communication will be. The research aims at studying uses of electronic platforms in universities - whether the website or the pages of social media sites -, and identifing their role in managing the dialogue communications of universities with their multiple audiences. In addition to studying nature of the strategies and dialogue patterns used, by monitoring the reality and analyzing contents of these platforms based on five principles of the theory of conversational communication via the internet and elements of the dialogue model, leading to a comparison between communication practices of the universities under study to apply these principles, their importance and the efficiency of their use. The study is based on theory of conversational communication over the internet, which provides a theoretical framework that includes dialogue principles to facilitate building a relationship between the organization and its audiences via the internet, through five basic principles for building a two-way and two-way relationship between them. Information, retain website visitors, encourages the public to visit the site again, and create a dialogue circle.

The digital media is one of the most important means of information that university students use in their daily lives, whether in the field of study or in the process of communicating with others, knowing news, events and obtaining information, as it is easy to use and accessible to all at the lowest cost. This study sought to know the motives for the use of the Saudi universities’ students of the digital media and the repletion that have been achieved, where I reached a number of results, among the most prominent among them is that the paper journalism did not have a presence in the opinion of the study sample and was not among the uses of university students, where the result (8.5%). This result indicates the loss of the paper journalism to the most important segment of its readers is the universities’ students. The Facebook ranked last in their preferences in the digital media, it is the opposite in previous studies in some Arab countries that have found that college students prefer Facebook more than other social media. I concluded that the digital media meets their needs and that the most important repletion achieved for them is that they made them more educated and with 81% of the sample population, and that it introduced them to various events and issues, and allowed them to acquire new skills that would benefit them in their studies. The most positive advantages were the ease of obtaining information, with a large percentage of 84.4%, and 82.6% felt that its most significant disadvantage is spreading rumors, spreading extremist ideas and imaginary information, and wasting time and spreading racism and leads to laziness. This study found a correlation statistically significant between the intensity of universities’ students use of the digital media and between Twitter, WhatsApp, Snap Chat and Blogs; And the presence of a statistically significant correlation between the motivations of universities’ students using the digital media and the repletion obtained from them, also the absence of a statistically significant correlation between the universities’ students use of the digital media and scientific disciplines, and the presence of statistically significant differences between the ritual motives for the use of the digital media and scientific disciplines, regarding the repletion, the study revealed the absence of a correlation of statistically significant between universities’ students use of the digital media and the type of respondents. This study belongs to the field descriptive research which is interested in the phenomenon's by describe and analyze them. It relies on audience study to reach reliable and accurate results. The study was applied to a simple random sample of its quantity. By 390 students from King Abdul-Aziz University. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study is considered an exploratory effort in revealing impact of the digital literacy intervention among the university’s students. It is methodologically based on a semi-experimental approach. The current paper tends to investigate effects of the digital literacy intervention on students’ perceptions of the digital media literacy dimensions at social media platform. In this regard, three digital literacy intervening sessions were designed according to Eshet conceptual comprehensive model of digital literacy (2004). During these sessions, students were subjected to a certain set of interventions that included: photo-visual literacy, reproduction literacy, branching literacy, information literacy and socio-emotional literacy. Intervening sessions were assigned according to a set of guidelines. Ouirdi, Segers and Henderickx model of social media Taxonomy (2014) of users, content and function was employed as well. Results clearly indicated that there was a disparate need for a new perspective of digital literacy according to more functional approaches. Findings intelligibly revealed the immediate need for photo-visual digital literacy in terms of realizing and discerning the intended meanings of hostile posts. Results also shed the light on the national security concept, which was essentially crystallized in terms of approaching digital literacy intervention. Moreover, ideological and technological aspects were highly recommended in order to create an effective digital literacy intervention. Results also showed the importance of equipping students with a set of competencies required for fully committed participation in a digital environment. Therefore, promoting social media competent dimensions at higher education is considered an emerging step. Consequently, the performed study results indicated that incorporating and developing digital literacy dimensions at the Egyptian higher education is entirely essential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study deals with the subject of Technology as a media phenomenon which theorists in this field consider as a fundamental reason for the process of social change. The research explores; in particular, how to pass and market ideological concepts and messages via modern and multimedia communication means. The paper also focuses on the process of interaction and communication of the masses from the premises of the „technological determinism‟ theory. This theory states that every transformation in the social system is mainly connected with the latest technical capabilities and most advanced means of communication as an objective equivalent to the message included in the means itself. The study also analyses and explores the extent to which the message of the interactive technological medium affects receivers in the present time resulting in fragmenting them. The content of the work clarifies that full awareness of the methods and uses of every new technological medium reduces the risk of its negative effects on receivers. In parallel, the study confirms that the majority of users of modern multimedia communication tools are greatly dominated by the ideotechnological act of these media as real ideological tools in the 21st century. First of these tools are the social networking sites as new ideological medium and message that produce specific ideological intellectual contents. These contents have resulted in forming specific value systems and social models which brought about a profound global social change. This necessitates the importance of thinking and hard working to find a global civilized social system which should be renewed and continuing from one generation to another. Besides, it should be based on adopting the concepts of the society dialogue and the local-global society which are completely away from the concepts of conflict of ideas and fragmentation of societies.
