Assignment #1 (20%) – Blog Comments - Throughout
This course on New Media Narratives is informed by contemporary thinking on transliteracy, meaning the ability to read, write and interpret across a range of media. For this reason, it is important that the course itself is delivered across these environments and that you develop a fluent and practical understanding of their operation. Online engagement is pivotal in this course, given its foundation in transliteracy – the adeptness to comprehend, articulate, and interact across varied media. Your active participation extends beyond mere presence in the digital learning environment. It encompasses thoughtful interaction with four module posts, evidenced by critical responses of at least 200 words on the class blog. These responses should offer constructive critiques, seek clarifications, or contribute additional perspectives and resources.
Furthermore, the course leverages diverse digital platforms such as social media, Animoto, Google Hangouts, and Google Docs, necessitating regular engagement and contributions. Active participation also involves thoughtful exploration and discussion of course materials, including conducting independent research and engaging in dialogues with an inquisitive and critically analytical mindset. The evaluation of your participation is predicated not on immediate comprehension or display of knowledge, but on the depth and consistency of your involvement and interaction within our digital learning community.
Note: Part of this assignment requires that you comment throughout the duration of the course rather than add 10 blog comments at the end of the term.
