Suggest a new type of "new media" that doesn't currently exist. Describe it.
I suggest a new type of New Media called "CLASS". CLASS promotes networking between classmates and professors. Anyone can access CLASS with verified student code. It's free to use and also application (Android and ISO) versions are available as well. This will lead encouraging better communication in classes, and easier grouping for class projects among students than traditional ways
The form of New Media is Web-based-system, using basic web browsing. Mentioned earlier, it also support the application systems. Both of web page and application, users can share thoughts and ideas via chatting room, idea board, and study room. In conclusion, it is an ideal new media for education to avoid a lack of communication and to foster a better class environment. I'd like to work on this new type of New Media further more.
This sounds like a less intricate version of blackboard. Blackboard does have its own app as well. I find it difficult enough to reach professors via email, I can't imagine how little replies I would recieve through another seperate application. I find professor's don't want to adjust to new media any more than they want to deal with complaining students.
ReplyDeleteI like this this idea in the sense that it has potential to make communication between students and the professor much less complicated and far more convenient. You may even see a rise in class performance thanks to better communication.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of having something similar to blackboard available for mobile use so students and teachers can communicate much faster. I also often feel like no one in the class uses the discussion board so focusing on that could be really effective. I like this idea a lot and wish it was already implemented during my time at Baruch.
