Course Summary
New Communication Technologies was well run and had a fair bit of fun content and tasks, which was a very nice change to some of the drier and boring tasks of other subjects.

Though many of the tasks which were potentially fun ended up being annoying and frustrating as they didn’t test your intelligence or what you’ve learnt but your ability to sort through pages of rubbish on Google. The tasks were mostly easy but took up huge amounts of time.

It was great that we could have some fun and customise our blogs, add videos and so on, but everything just took so long to do and didn’t feel like anything was accomplished at the end.

Lecture material was quite interesting and the entertaining video’s helped engage me. I learnt many new terms and concepts about communication technologies, but a lot of the content wasn’t ‘new’ to me or probably anyone born after 1989 because it’s what we grew up with and these ‘New Communication Technologies’ aren’t particularly new or exciting, more just a normal part of life. I would consider this new
I just think internet was considered new 15 years ago.

I would consider new communication technologies to be something to do with electronically transmitted brainwaves to other brainwaves or something ridiculous like that.

More or less I found the tutorial tasks very easy but extremely time consuming and annoying and I would prefer something challenging. The idea of the Blog which ran through the semester is a great idea and I was always happy to add things to it. I enjoyed most of the lecture content and was surprised and impressed with the amount of interesting and amusing content.

Overall it was defiantly one of the better courses I have done!
So thanks!
