DIGC202- week 12 feedback
As week 12 was used by Jason to gain feedback on the subject and the digital communication field in general.
My suggestion for the digital communications major would have to be a clearer structure and a specific explanation of its relevance to particular jobs. i.e. what jobs we can expect to be eligible for? This question has been asked in different classes and digc subjects but I still feel it...
DIGC202- final presentation reflection
Overall I felt that our groups presentation (myself, Dane and Ellen) went fairly well. I was quite happy with how the VUE software worked, although it didn’t go quite as well as it was advertised, as to me it seemed primarily like a slideshow (but less user friendly to create). I have to give major props to Dane, who did most of the hard yards in putting together the presentation
One of the...

DIGC202 Week 7 blog post- NGO campaigns
Electronic Frontiers Australia is currently running a campaign against the proposed internet filter in Australia. Coming mostly from the left wing (through idea’s of freedom of political expression and information), it argues that the plan will waste tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and slow down Internet access for no good reason. It has been universally condemned by the public, ISPs,...

DIGC202 Week 5 blog post
I have been trying to find work in Human Resources (and more specifically, the recruitment and selection field), preferably in the Wollongong area.
With HR planning being rather long term in scope, I found the majority of jobs appeared to be permanent full time (which appears to be increasingly rare in today’s working environment). However, most of these permanaent, higher paying jobs...

DIGC202- Week 2 blog post
This week, I found the notion of nationalism that Jason discussed to be an interesting concept. I was never aware of just how young the idea of nationhood actually was, so I never considered why we hold such passionate affinities to what Benedict Anderson calls ‘Imagined Communities’. It is apparent that we collectively embrace so called ‘Australian values’ in order to feel...
