Hola! My name is Jess and I am a 4th year Anthropology major. As for technology, I am really interested in augmented reality, with its interactive nature and it’s use of mapping. I am in currently in the process of applying for my master’s degree and definitely want to incorporate aspects of augmented reality into my master’s project.
I think something that is worth focusing on is the technology that will be used within academia in the future. When I think of campus in 20 years, my first thought is about how differently the classroom set up would be and how students would take tests. Would there be any written exams anymore? Or would every student write his or her exam through a class app? The introduction of more technology makes the concept of sitting through lecture in the classroom or writing exams on paper seem obsolete!
Great! Sounds like your interests dovetail nicely with this course. That’s exactly the kind of specific details I want you to be reflecting on: Will we have physical exams in 20 years? If not, what will the alternatives mean for learning?
