The issue that might emerge with usage of apps like Snap Chat, is that users might be unknowingly training themselves to use all software without caution. To be honest, many of the whippersnappers I see on Facebook seem to relish the element of danger inh ...
This might be the most suspenseful and dramatic post I've ever seen on MediaCommons! One of my professors recently declared that, when composing a scholarly paper, we need to be responsible archivists and consider how we are preserving our subject f ...
This months posts have been some of the most invigorating. It's rare anymore that the mention of "archive" conjures up the image of the wizened scholar huddled over stacks of dusty tomes in some crumbling tower library. I was wondering if ...

From a student's standpoint, it always feels as thought the most rewarding all-around experience is within those classrooms that embrace the collective learning experience. For example, in a New Media course last year, the variety of skill level with ...
