This course challenged me in many ways. I didn\u2019t know what to expect when I registered for the ETEC540 but I was sure I would be surprised. In the end, I was. Most recently I decided to continue with my idea from the Rip.Mix.Feed mind map for the final media project.<\/p>\n
I expanded the idea of my original map and attempted to explore the entire course. This was more challenging than I originally expected, as I felt it was a challenge to pick and choose what I was going to include. How does one explain the debate over how text technologies modify reading and writing processes? I wanted to ensure I showcased my growth through the course and touch on topics that I felt were important. My only regret is I wasn\u2019t able to make a shareable mind map where we could share ideas and trade thoughts. Although the mind map is my final project I don\u2019t think this is the last I\u2019ll see of this topic. The final project is my attempt to manage information overload!<\/p>\n
Another surprise for this course happened this weekend. I had a family member, Jenny Preece, from Washington, DC visiting and I realized I missed a great opportunity. Besides a wonderful person, she is also is a researcher on the topic of computer-mediated communication, human-computer interaction, online communities, motivation for participation in social media. Her husband, Ben Shneiderman, is also well versed on this subject. Upon some Google research\/\u2019creeping\u2019 I found out that Ben and his students developed the interface for the hyperlink. So, as this course draws to end this week, I think I\u2019ll be having some interesting conversations in the future with them.<\/p>\n
Looking forward to seeing your final assignments… Here is a link to mine:<\/p>\n[aesop_document type=”pdf” src=”https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec540summer15\/files\/2015\/08\/A-REFLECTION-OF-ETEC-540-TEXT-AND-TECHNOLOGY-SUMMER-2015.pdf” caption=”My mind map of ETEC 540. “]\n
