Rather than commenting on this weeks Symposium alone in this blog, seeing it was the last for the year I thought I would refelct on how the un-lectures or Symposiums have been this year.

I truly feel that the format for the lectures for Networked Media have been really effective. I feel like the knowledge we have gained and built up over the semester would not be the same had we had the generic learning style of a proper lecture. The main thing I liked was that we learnt and discussed what we wanted to, this way we could focus on information we found interesting and therefore we were much more engaged with the subject. As this was the first time this has been tried, I can really see the symposium style lecture taking off and becoming an excellent learning tool for Networked Media in the future!
