Advice

If I were to use new media to improve the college, I would implement in the classrooms. One of the biggest issues that I see in the classroom is the lack of of working dry erase markers and dirty whiteboards. I would advise the college to provide each student with a wireless device (laptops or tablets) that would allow them to connect to the professor and access their notes. Similar to the technology used by the creators on Khan Academy, professors can virtually write notes that are not only neat but also do not get lost after the lecture. Students would be able to sign in to class by joining the session and leave questions/comments on the virtual notes (like Google Docs) for other students and professor to see. I believe that by implementing this sort of new media would not only solve the problems that delay the start of many classes, but would also provide a better learning experience.
