Blog: Advice

You are hired by Baruch College to use new media to improve the College. What are some suggestions you would make using new media?

A suggestion that I would make to improve Baruch through the use of new media is to implement it in classes. Similar to this New Media course, it is enjoyable to be able to manage our own blogs, use different new media technologies, and comment on each other work. I feel like if this were to be implemented in other classes, it would be easier for students to communicate and provide feedback to each other. 

 Another suggestion is for the Baruch community to use a platform that everyone can use to ask questions and get answers, something like a school-wide forum. Having an official forum will give students to ask and receive answers about the school quickly rather than having trouble finding someone to ask in person. 

 The last suggestion I would make is for Baruch to have a live chat for urgent problems. Sometimes emailing offices and waiting for advisement could be slow. Baruch implementing a live chat system for important issues can benefit the students.

    I wish your forum idea was real, there is a lot of info people can share with each other but there never really is one place for it. Also, your idea for live chat is great. Most of the things people go to offices for are small and quick things that somehow become more trouble than they're worth.

    Celina, these are all great ideas! It would be such a great help for Baruch to have a live chat for urgent problems. This will decrease the offices and departments getting packed and feeling overwhelmed. Specially offices like advisement, financial aid office, registrars, and many more. Also I think the platform that anyone can ask and answer questions would be a help.

    I had a very similar suggestion to you because I also feel like more new media should be implemented in classrooms because I believe this will make a more impactful change to our futures.

Creativity and New Media

Minecraft is a platform/game that I foster my creativity. It is a sand-box like game that allows players to create anything they like with the blocks provided. You get to work with other players to build structures and the game allows players to communicate with each other. Maplestory is a MMORPG that takes palace in an virtual world where players can freely travel around the world and interact with each other or NPCs. I would say Maplestory is a form a new media that fosters creativity because it allows you to alter the appearance and abilities of your character. There are many different ways to to be creative within the game. You could also establish relationships with other players. Collaboration plays a big part within the game. In order to defeat difficult bosses, players would have to gather a group of people and work together with them. There is also an community within the game guilds allow players to feel the sense of belonging while also allowing players to make friends o...

Wiki So Far

For the Wiki, I am planning on contributing to What is an MMORPG? by adding a game called Onmyoji to Popular MMORPGs. It is described as a MMORPG based in a world of inspired by Japanese mythology. I will be going over the plot, characters, game play, and many other things that you can do within the game. I am also planning to add to the MapleStory section of the same Wiki page. To do so, I would have to do more research on both games to make sure that they are updated with the current information.
