Advice

 One of the easiest ways and tools can be used to improve online communication between professors and students is Zoom. Zoom is easily accessible and easy to use compared to another tool which Blackboard collaborate.

Also to increase engagement between students and college is if the college runs TikTok as it is becoming more and more popular. 

If possible Baruch could collaborate with some store for example and have a raffle where the winner wins a prize from the company. (ex: Baruch could work with an apparel company and a certain student wins a hoodie if they share a certain post or something).

Blogs more or less represent a brand. A lot of companies also have blogs where they post information about something upcoming and or some promotion(Cook). A blog is like the soul of person but on the internet and visible to everyone. A wiki is more of an encyclopedia. It is a process of accumulating and maintaining information (Difference). It is a collaborative work between various groups of people. A wiki helps in collecting and sorting out information related to specific topic. It's like a never-ending cycle where you could go from one place to another on a wiki. In today's world convergence has become a important aspect especially in the social media world. Companies such as Facebook buying Instagram and Whatsapp shows how important it is for companies and people to know where the informa...

Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

Virtual worlds is one of the more fascinating ideas as we took a step forward to the 21st century. Virtual worlds can be and have been used for various purposes over the years.  One of the best features of virtual worlds is the recreation of something:  this could be something new or something one experienced in the past. The article In Room 100, It's Sid and Nancy All Over Again by Saki Knafo demonstrates this. Hotel Chelsea which used to have an authentic feel which catered to a large amount of artists. But once the hotel was acquired by a corporate management they fired the longtime manager and increased rent. These changes lead to a lot of artists leaving. But after a while Mr. Brown who always wanted to live in the legendary hotel recreated the hotel on Second Life: a virtual 3-D world. He went on to inform Ed Hamilton, a resident of the Chelsea hotel who ran the blog of the newly created virtual world. This allowed the people who used to love the hotel once again visit a...
