You are hired by Baruch College to use new media to improve the College. What are some suggestions you would make?
A good way that I would use new media to Baruch College, would be using the same idea of the Virtual Worlds into students classrooms. There are many students who are parents or have jobs that require them to travel often and cannot make it class. So, if we create a virtual world with all the classmates into one environment we can have regular class through virtual software. Each student would create their own character and they would all log in at the same time they are schedule for classes. They can be in Japan and still be marked present in class. I think this is a great way of not only interacting with your class mates virtually but contributing your ideas in a mandatory way. Many times students don't pay attention during class and consider participation as attendance only. By, using this software of virtual class I would make mandatory the contribution of each student, it doesn't hurt to give an opinion.

I think that's a great idea, but then I'd never go to class! Lol, we also wouldn't be able to have snow days =/ Lol.
ReplyDeleteI also like your idea.. there are online classes at other schools which I've always been interested in. I think the use of a virtual world makes it much more entertaining and easy going. The fact that we are in a business school, and technology is always advancing, this is definitely something that should be considered to give students a unique college experience.
