Bring In Your Own Device

In the second session on April 7th it was agreed that all participants on this meeting will bring in their laptops or other study devices to this meeting.
10:13 - 11:00
We will greet & meet. And establish an online-session as if we were all on remote sites.
11:00
Elisabeth will join us online from MM Cologne and help us with all the nitty-gritty about Blackboard.
This is to enable all the participants to make the most of this new online tool.
The course B-STGe-ALL-MMP-22SS has these two references:
 Hofer, Kuznetsova, Vielwerth: Media Economics and Politics
 Siegert: Media Economics and Media Politics B: Seminar Expert Sessions (ES)

My favourite media piece

11:30
Follow up on MediaEconomics & MediaPolitics Unit2 Your presentations about your favourite gadgets and contents on the history of media.

The idea is that at the end of the course, all the participants will have their own little media document.

On the last day of the course, all these presentations will be shown again. Enriched by some personal comments about the question if they would like to change or add to the presentation they have started with in these days.

This topic will be enriched by your six oral notes, recorded by the participants on day one: ME&MP "Take Off" MediaEconomics & MediaPolitics Unit1

As a ’bonus track’ it would be nice to hear from you, how your favourite piece of media is going to look like in 2030, in which political framework it will be embedded and how it will be financed. You may implement this "2030 Media Piece" either in a German state framework or in the political and economic framework of your country of origin.

Excursions

Maybe "excursion" is not the exact term, because it is not about "sight-seeing" but the exploration of topics like regulation, production, distribution with some renowned Berlin-based players in the market.

>Dr. Reimar Müller-Thum, Vizepräsident Hochschulmanagement
signed in the German Version of the Leistungsversprechen der Hochschule Macromedia and in the English Version of Macromedia University’s value proposition these ambitions:

Dear students,

the goal of our university is to train you as designers of digital change. As personalities who, with comprehensive media, interdisciplinary and intercultural competence, will shape the industrial and creative landscapes, civil societies as well as the economic and cultural life of the future.

This is how we phrased it in the mission statement of Macromedia University.

Therefore, we would like to motivate you for lifelong learning and support you in your personal development.

Train. Support. Enable.

There is a word for it in English: Empowerment. This is the core competence of our university and constitutes the framework of Macromedia’s study programs. Accordingly, we have chosen "empowerment" as a meaningful component of our value proposition:
mPower is our promise to you, indeed our invitation to be "empowered".

P.S.

In this lecture, we’ve learned that the only solid Browser for Blackboard-Applications is the Google-based Chrome offer. It was strongly recommended not to use the Microsoft Edge Browser instead. Although it is using the same software engine.
But you may use the "Ungoogled Chromium" Browser instead. On April 11th. 2022 the Version 100.0 was published for download for MAC, WIN10 32 & 64 bit. And successfully tested wth the GGE (Galileo Global Education) - Helpdesk the day after.
