ADVICE TO BARUCH COLLEGE

Since we are in a new era of technology I think Baruch should consider using some of the items of new media to enhance education, and one of them could be to promote more online classes using virtual worlds. Students are very limited with the option of taking classes and if it is not on campus students don’t have more alternatives than to wait until they can. Online classes through virtual worlds can meet, Attend to class and create contend together. For example, there are many people with disabilities that have lost of skills but are unable to succeed because they don’t feel comfortable socializing with other people, but not only people with disabilities, a normal average person that for some other reasons cannot make it to the campus and want to continue their education are limited by the conditions of the school. Therefore, they have to stop for one or two semesters and somehow they tend to be left behind, because of the limit of options they have in this school. Thus, since they cannot make it to the campus they are unable to take classes. Besides virtual worlds have a lot of advantages and one of them is to be able to have a social life. I think Baruch is getting left behind because I know some schools and universities offer this alternative to students. I think a student will also take advantage of using virtual worlds in the school; they will have more options to research and take the word of others in topics of their common interest.
