Advice

Some of the ways new media could improve Baruch College are vast. One way is to make all announcements known on social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.). This is important as more people are buying smartphones and it is easy to set up social networks to give updates straight to your smartphone. Also it would be imperative to have one person dedicated to monitoring the social media feeds. Another thing that the college could do is to offer more online classes. A way they could do this is to set up a professor in an empty room with a camera or have students in a physical classroom with the professor and teach the class. After the class is over the technicians that were handling the camera could upload the video onto blackboard and students could view the lecture from anywhere. This could also be done in regular classes as it would give students something to look back on to improve their knowledge other than just the notes they took in class. Lastly there could be a blog of all the different types of events that are happening daily. Instead of flooding people’s inboxes with information they could just follow the blog and it would be easier for the people that want to look up the information at a later date as well.
