Digital Teaching
This course will be held as digital teaching in the winter semester 2023/24. There will be no face-to-face lectures. The lecture slides and videos are available in moodle as lecture material. During the lecture, there will be online consultation hours via Zoom - the dates will be announced in moodle.
Oral exams are face-to-face, but can be done digitally via Zoom by appointment.
The next face-to-face session of this lecture is in the summer semester 2024.
Course Contents
Today, communication between people preferably takes place digitally. Messages or information are quickly received and distributed via smartphones. The Internet has long since replaced the daily newspaper as an up-to-date and fast information medium. The change leads to many questions: What exactly is the "Internet"? How independent and credible is the information in the age of fake news? What role do journalists from daily newspapers or radio stations play in this? Will there still be printed daily newspapers and books in the future?
These questions will be addressed and discussed during the lecture. The term "media" is explained and classified. Various media (Internet, television, print media,...) are presented and the trends of media use and interaction between different media are discussed. Various printing technologies for print media are examined in more detail and the workflow for the production of print media is demonstrated. It also explains, almost incidentally, how an Internet connection works, why different television stations have a time delay, how radio stations finance themselves, what copyright protection students have for a thesis and what measures should be taken to protect their own privacy. The lecture offers orientation in the media world, takes up current topics and developments and provides facts for a challenging discussion.
The lecture slides and additional documents are provided on moodle. The purchase of a book is not necessary. No previous knowledge of printing technology is required.
[b]Examination[/b]
The examination (approx. 35 minutes) is oral and starts with a lecture (5 minutes, max. 6 minutes) on a topic of your choice from the lecture content. The selection of the presentation topic does not have to be registered or approved in advance. Aids (PowerPoint, index cards,...) are not permitted, but demonstrators, models or sketches can be prepared and brought to the presentation. Afterwards, the examiner will ask questions about the presentation and its subject area for approx. 5 minutes. This is followed by an examination talk on two topics of the lecture (approx. 20 minutes). If required, further short questions from different subject areas can be asked.
The checks are individual appointments, i.e. only one person per appointment is examined. The examination dates can be arranged at any time in the winter semester or summer semester. However, they should be agreed with the secretariat at least 4 weeks in advance.
