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.
YouTube has content for everyone . For example, there are many YouTuber's that post vlogs (blogs in video form), comedic skits, pranks, tutorials, DIY's, just to name a few! YouTube has provided us all with content that we wouldn't be able to find elsewhere. I think we can all attest that YouTube is great, but is it better than TV? I will be researching this topic from an economical, technological, and educational perspective. I'll also be discussing about the positive/negative effects and impact YouTube has on society.
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.
