The networked environment was the topic of the week for class. There was a ton of reading to do for this topic which involved reading the lecture once and then going back over it to click on all the hyperlinks. And there were quite a few...
Out of the many formats the professor provided us with, including articles, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc., I prefer the interactive ones. Well, a YouTube video isn't exactly interactive but it has visual and acoustic elements unlike a static article that is hard to absorb sometimes. I learn more from the videos and podcasts where I hear someone else relaying the information to me. That is what I do in effect when I read for class. I have to read out loud to myself and hence it makes finishing a long article quite a chore. Having a mixture of these different forms of presentation is good for me though. It takes me out of my comfort zone, so to speak, and requires me to explore new ways of learning.
