5. Existing Solutions

5.1. Students were more exposed to new media as an entertainment and communication choice. Media literacy skills the students were developing were more for media consumption than creative expression and production - this isn't an existing solution, this is a benefit, can you show me a solution that is proposed and tell me why it worked and didn't work?

5.2. Not confident with rapidly changing technologies, and hence a lack of media production skills to enable them to produce meaningful media content confidently - this is still a negative impact rather than an evaluation of existing solutions.
