When I first started using the internet back when I was a mere 10 year old I wouldn’t have thought ten years later my internet activity would be directly responsible in me getting a university degree. UOSM2033 has been more than just another module to pass and it has given me a different perspective on what it means to be an internet citizen and how your internet activity can relate to how you are off the internet.

After 5 months of studying the “Living and working on the web” module I’m pleased to say that I’ve learnt many useful skills that I will hopefully be able to apply to future tasks – whilst studying at university and beyond. As I study Economics, and have an analytical academic background (studying Maths, Physics and Economics at A level) the art of researching and publishing articles is completely new to me. I can definitely say that this course has improved these skills. Continue reading →

This module has been great in getting me to do new and different things on the web, so this week, for my final post, I’ve decided to create a web page from scratch as it’s not something that I’ve done before.You can access it here. Continue reading →

Unlike every other module I’ve done at this university, UOSM2033 has been pretty much entirely based around communication. This has been a very interesting difference, as people have been able to put their points of view across strongly and actually try to better each other’s understanding while going about it. In some ways I think everyone has learnt a lot from it, and by the end views were not so disparate as they might have been at the start of the module. Continue reading →

As a I sit down to  write my last blog for #uosm2033, I think back to my first written piece:  understanding the concepts of digital visitors and residents. Delving into research for that week, I concluded that I am a digital resident. But now, with ten weeks under my belt of understanding digital media and the importance of online communication, I can very much say that I am not the resident I thought I was. Continue reading →

Upon reflecting on my time over the past few weeks considering this module, the immediate feeling I am hit by is regret. However, it is not the regret of having taken this module, but the regret that I have not been able to get out of the module as much as I could have due to personal problems. Continue reading →

And so here it is, the final post of my module Living and Working on the Web. I’ll start with the things I have learnt during the module that I feel were most important and useful, which, unsurprisingly, are the things I will also take into future modules. The first of these is the use of informal, yet reliable, sources, even if it’s just to get a background of a topic. Continue reading →

For my final reflection of the UOSM2033 module I have designed a moonfruit page! You can have a look at the web page here. Continue reading →

On commencing the module Living and Working on the Web, I had never written a public blog before, but now, 15 weeks down the line, I have a fully functioning, Google-able blog, in which I have been able to consider and discuss a range of subjects. Following one of my most successful blog posts, “Have you heard of me, and if not why not?”, I decided to use the same format to present my discoveries and hopes for the future. Continue reading →

The final post is presented using Slides.com: http://slides. Continue reading →

So with the Living and Working on the Web module during to a close, I have created a prezi to sum up my experiences of the module and express my thoughts on what I have learnt over the course of such an interesting and extremely useful module. Double click on the screenshot below to access my prezi. Continue reading →

Well that’s it from me guys! Check out my wrap-up post which I’ve created on Weebly (A free website creator). http://digitalportfoliocathh.weebly. Continue reading →

Prior to this module, my presence online was not as successful as I had believed. Re-reading my pre-module quiz highlights how little I knew about having an Online Presence, including my own. Though I had a Facebook account and a Twitter; that was it. But even the way I used Twitter, did not utilise its potential. The way I now use Twitter, the connections I have has completely changed through this module. Continue reading →
