The past week has been my official first working week at the DMS due to a few medical issues. As one would expect I sit in front of a computer at work almost everyday exploring the latest digital media software, going through the theoretical aspects of digital media or updating my blog on a weekly basis.
We just started with the theory aspects of digital media. And as one may assume, it really is TECHNICAL! One would never expect to leave the classroom theoretical knowledge behind and training, and only to be confronted with that at your work place-but in my line of work there is a lot of theory behind the actually final product you see when you view a video.
For some odd reason however, I had booked myself in at work for about 5 hours per day but it does not seem to be going that way this week due to the fact that I have assignments and tests all due this week. I hope next week will be better. The working environment is quite conducive, our coordinator almost giving us free-reign on the posts and work we do while we are here does really help because there is nothing more boring than having a strict mandate to work.
I have learnt quite a lot in the past week and that has prompted me to publish my first post. I also do have suggestions based on this post for the University of the Western Cape in its approach to innovative education. The post soon to follow this will highlight my suggestion.
I hope you do enjoy this learning experience with me. I shall keep you updated on the latest development and innovation with regards to new technology (even if it does not directly involve digital media).
