The first class for the course began on the 11th of June, and we were introduced to Ms Amreet Kaur, our instructor cum lecturer for the course. I found Miss Amreet to be refreshing, as she is still quite young and brought a lot of energy with her when she taught. There was hardly a dull moment in class, as she knew how to control the pace and attention of her teen-aged students with short-attention spans.
Before we could get to the Multimedia part of the course's namesake, we first had to comprehend and master the writing aspect of the course aspect. She introduced the types of writing to us: Academic and Creative writing. Academic writing is anything you'd expect all things academic related to be. Lots of formal writing with concise facts and limited expressionism such as a report or a thesis. Creative writing is where you'd find all the novels, journals and autobiographies, basically where you write according to your own creative freedom and expression.
Multimedia is the multitude forms of media. You have blogs, e-mails, social network sites and basically any forms of media that combines imagery, videos, text, animations and audio into a tangible, interactive medium.
Through this class, I realized the potential of using multimedia and the web as a platform for writing, be it academic or creative and share I what I have to say with the world.
