Did someone say ‘UNlecture’?

Lecture – An educational talk to an audience, especially to students in a university or college. 

Ok you may be wondering why I am defining the word lecture, well being a university student it is a word that has kind of lost meaning and become more of a process that we all are accustomed to. It’s pretty easy to forget the structure that all of them are built up around and get lost in the space as another number.

In the Networked Media course they have come up with the idea of an UNlecture. Some of you may be asking what is this mystical ‘UNlecture’? Well kids gather ‘round. I suppose to define it in one word would be a conference or discussion. Its purpose is to deviate from the idea of a talk ‘to’ students but more so with them. A collaborative learning space where anyone can have the chance to have an input.

After attending the first one for the semester I am really intrigued. Though it’s still early days  I like the idea and it will be nice to have a fresh way of learning once a week. I’m looking forward to the weeks that follow.
