Week Two.Topic One.

E: I can not even imagine not writing up my assignments on the computer. Even GCSE coursework was typed up on a computer. Hand-writing is very time-consuming, as wel as difficult to edit and it is unable to delete things neatly. Typed up assignments look a lot neater. This assignment is interesting because we can look at others works, as well as commenting on others work, and recieve tutor feedback quckly. Which is one of the joys of the "new" media, to "manpulate and distrubute easily".

F:"Immersive interactivity" is, Lunenfeld believes that this is the opposite to "extractive" interactivity. It is similar to hypertextual but with aditional qualities. Examples of this, are online gaming, where the user is in a 3d world, often using virtual reality technology,where people ca explore and navigate screen spaces.

  2. OK, maybe fixed now?

    I wanted to say that I liked your linking of typing to the fundamentals of 'new' media.

    As a lecturer though, I wish students would follow my advice that it is better to snowpake and correct the final pages than to submit something that LOOKS beautiful and pristine, but is full of errors. This didn't used to be a problem when the final submission was typed, not wordprocessed.
