    Study Notes

    Elements of Communication

    • Communication is the act or process of using words, sounds, signs, or behaviours to express or exchange information. It involves sharing ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc., with others across various channels, contexts, media, and cultures.

    • A sender originates the message, selecting the desired information.
    • An encoder converts the message into signals.
    • A decoder receives the message and interprets the signals.
    • A receiver is the destination of the message.
    • Noise can disrupt the message during transmission, affecting the receiver's interpretation.
    • Feedback enables evaluation of the message's effectiveness.
    • Information processed data and/or knowledge derived from study, experience, instruction, signals, or symbols.

    Media Literacy
