To improve Brooklyn College with the use of new media, there are a few things I will definitely incorporate. First on the list would be making a Brooklyn College exclusive social network. Next would be the use to wikis of have a Wikipedia-like system where students and teachers both can contribute. And finally, I would recommend all lectures be streamed live on the college website.
The Brooklyn College Facebook would definitely be a must. Having a social network exclusive to the college will certainly be beneficial. For one, communication between students and teachers will be much easier and efficient. The Brooklyn College social network will keep everyone updated and without a doubt give us all the benefits of social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
The incorporation of a wiki site such as Wikipedia is certainly a must. Think of a system that will allow for all past assignments to be posted online that will allow students and professors to contribute to each others work. This would certainly be helpful in putting an end to plagiarism and create a more accessible college encyclopedia. Having an online system like this would certainly help students in producing more solid and accurate work.
The most ambitious idea at incorporating new media in Brooklyn College would be the live streaming of all classroom lectures. If a student were to miss class, they would be able to log-in to the College's social network and simply watch what is happening in the classroom, live. This would certainly be helpful not only for students who missed classes but also when is comes time to review for exams as every lecture should also be captured and archived.
How beneficial would the incorporation of these new media type technology be? Think of the accessibility. With all the new technology allowing freedom with portability, faculty members and students will both be able to have access to the College no matter where they are in the world. That is the power of today's new media.
