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.
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.
Yes! I agree. I remember taking a management class last semester and wanting to do my assignments through my phone but it really was not user-friendly at all. The interface just mimicked the website and wasn't optimized for mobile if I'm remembering correctly.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree that an app should be built out. Don't know if this is considered a "new media" example though, since apps aren't really new. I'd definitely be a buyer of the app though.
ReplyDeleteI agree, since most classes uses their textbook an online platform this would be really good for students who are always busy and while on the train could do some of their work.
