Advice to Baruch College

Baruch College does not integrate a lot of new media in their classrooms at this present time.  In this recent semester, Baruch offers only one online class.  This is the new media class.  Baruch already does have some sort of new media in place, such as Blackboards discussion board, but in my 4 years here, I have rarely used it.  If classes are to be integrated with new media, they would need to use a new media that students are already familiar with.  This way they will not need to learn a new tool that may hinder the learning experience.  YouTube videos of lectures could be put up, Facebook groups can be created, and even live video streams over physical lectures can help.  Signing into the video stream chat room can be considered the attendance.
