And just like that, the final topic is over.<\/p>\n

Topic 5 was probably one of my favourites topics so far as there was a variety of things that could have been spoken about and I particularly enjoyed reading experiences both online and within this module of people’s experience with online materials. I really enjoyed Hayley’s<\/a> post as she used Prezi to give a brief insight of what open access is and I think\u00a0I will definitely consider using Prezi when doing presentations in the future.<\/p>\n

Through reading other people’s post, I’ve learnt that using media to support your argument or the argument of others provides something different for readers.<\/p>\n

Reading into this topic was intriguing as I went in with a bias view of being a user of free online content. However, with better understanding, I can see where it would be a disadvantage for producers. For example, researchers whose research can be time consuming and expensive may be frustrated when their content is exposed for free on the web.\u00a0Despite this, I still believe that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and Irinie’s<\/a> post touched upon this showing the economic benefits of open access.<\/p>\n

I touched upon the music industry and I think it is a industry that is in too deep to overcome the threat of open access materials. Audiences are used to downloading music for free and has somewhat become a social phenomenon.<\/p>\n

Conclusively, I think that as digital media continues to develop, the more we as users get used to it, the more producers of traditional media will see it as a disadvantage. Instead of seeing open access material as a threat, producers should use it to their benefit. A recent article I read predicts a different kind of future for Open Access. Read here<\/a><\/p>\n
