If I was hired to spearhead a New Media initiative I would suggest utilizing new media's various platforms in a multitude of ways to benefit the Baruch community. For example, we could establish a uniform system to help the process of recording lectures and classes. A platform which has all the videos uploaded on a specific channel and can be viewed by students who missed the class.
It would be really awesome if this extended to review sessions and also the SACC center which is a student run tutoring group. Although the SACC center is great it is sometimes hard for individuals with complex schedules to make specific meetings and with the use of new media we can provide another tool to those students that have more time restrictions.
This platform can be extended even further when thinking about the amazing events that organization's host on campus. You can learn a bunch listening to professionals or guest speakers talk about their experiences. I would definitely suggest video recordings of all of these things because Baruch is indeed a commuter school and I believe this form of new media can really provide students further access to the education they desire.
Hey Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteI loved the idea recording lectures because sometimes I do it on my phone if its something really important or how you mentioned if you missed the lecture.
