Signal and Sense: Social Media's Role in Developing Metaliteracy: Exploring Digital Agency, Empathy, and Critical Reflection in a Participatory Age

By Benson Njoroge

Signal and Sense explores what it means to be literate in a world dominated by algorithms, memes, and participatory culture. Moving beyond traditional information literacy, this book introduces metaliteracy as a dynamic, inclusive framework for navigating social media, artificial intelligence, digital emotion, and co-creation.
Blending theory, reflection, and practical insight, Benson Njoroge examines how learners, across ages, cultures, and contexts, can become not just informed consumers, but ethical, reflective creators and collaborators in the digital world.
With chapters on emotional literacy, intergenerational learning, inclusive AI, caregiver engagement, and the hidden curriculum of technology, this book offers educators, designers, and curious minds a compass for cultivating digital agency and empathy in uncertain times.
It's a book for everyone asking: How do we make sense - and make change - in the scroll?
