Week 1 Lectorial

It surprised me how wide and broad the major of media is. It is a teamwork and community building subject. As our lecturer, Adrian has proposed, media is re-learning and we learn by repetition, metaphor, failure, practice and analogy. Furthermore, media is about the studio model and obviously learning both inside and outside of class.

Deep vs. Hyper-Attention

The reading that we did today reflected on the methods of learning with a combined deep attention and hyper attention. These two cognitive modes characterise the way we learn in lectorials and practicals. I am definitely a hyper-attention learner that I can seem to learn with noises around with groups of people rather than in silence.

Meeting new, unfamiliar goals would be demanding and forming successful products/outcomes would be challenging. But without, learning media would not be as fun. Therefore, the most challenging aspect of this course is to be not in part of the media community and trying to get back on our feet.
