Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

How does "New Media" change ideas of education and related skills? What does it mean for production of knowledge, identities, and culture? How does social networking, blogging, YouTube, Wikipedia, Twitter etc. (usually referred to web 2.0) change the practice and content of studying English & American Studies? Does and should it affect academic practice and teaching at all?
In this course, students will critically explore the affordances of web 2.0 and relate it to their study context to enhance critical media literacy, reflect on their own academic practice and English Studies in general.
