Summary of my presentation!

My Term Research Project was on "Second life,Webkinz and the future of virtual world on higher education". On my presentation i described what is the Second life and Webkinz and what impact they have on education. Also i gave some examples of universities which are using this web sites for educational purpose and explained some advantages of doing so. And I tried to fill my presentation with pictures for better visual effects. At the end of my presentation i introduced a short video about impact of virtual world on higher education.

How do we distinguish “new media” from “old” media?

“New media” in general refer to those digital media, which are interactive, incorporate two-way communication and involve some form of computing as opposed to “old media” such as the telephone, radio and TV.

Advice to Baruch College

On my "New Media" class i did presentation on "Second Life, Webkinz, and the Future of virtual world on higher education", so i definitely would suggest to have a Baruch college on Second life, many universities use Second life for educational purpose, and they found that it's very effective, so why Baruch can't try. And also i would suggest to offer some online courses. Online courses are convenient for the student.One of the best advantages of online classes is flexibility.
