If I was hired by Baruch College to improve the college by using new media, I would implement the use of Reddit. Reddit users create forums where they can ask a question or start a discussion on a specific topic. Anyone from anywhere can answer and other people can up vote or down vote your comment. I think it would be a great idea for Baruch to have an account where students can ask questions and have it answered by other Baruch students.
A new media that doesn't exist yet.. maybe McGraw Hill Connect mobile app.. that actually works. Currently the McGraw Hill Connect mobile app doesn't allow students to read or do assignments on their phone. As a student, I'm always on the go and sometimes when your traveling you find opportunities where you can read or answer a few homework questions to keep busy. Their current app does nothing.
There is actually a Baruch College Reddit! (https://www.reddit.com/r/Baruch/) As far as I can tell not many people know about it but I think it would be a great idea to expose this to more students to get more interaction on the page.
ReplyDeleteYes there is one already but I would encourage students to use it more and maybe even staff so everyone can see others point of view.
