The method in which we receive and obtain our information has most certainly shifted. A recent assignment for my graduate class, Media Analysis, required me to watch an hour of television and record the number of commercials I viewed. Do you know how difficult this was?! I don’t watch television any longer; I simply don’t have the time or the patience to do so. And even if I do, I usually flip through the channels during commercials anyway. Instead, like you, I take advantage of the new marketing methods to get what I want.
WVU even offers a course in its Integrated Marketing Communications program called Emerging Media. This online (who would have ever thought one could obtain a degree online!) course is designed to provide students with an inside look at how modern industry is using emerging media to enhance the IMC process. Students examine many kinds of emerging media including: podcasts, Webcasts, social marketing, banner ads, blogs, pop-ups, pop-unders, email, and short films.
The final project for the course is to create and maintain a blog. How fun is that?!
