For my Lower division Introduction to Information Technology course, I worked on a video documentary project in a team of four. Our team produced a short (5 minute) video about a specific new media and a specific social situation. Our group chose QR codes.
We began by writing a script for our balanced approach while covering these four aspects: 1) what is the technology, how does it work, what came before (history)? (e.g., do some online research) 2) who uses it and what do they use it for and why? (e.g., try it out yourself, find out what it is for) 3) what are experts saying about this service/technology? (find some research papers about it or a related technology issue) 4) what do the users think about it? (some interviews, perhaps?) We did video interviews, researched video and images used in our video documentary.
We did a great job on the Video Documentary.
