ABSTRACT

This article introduces an assignment that will help instructors effectively teach media grammar and convergence to their students. Hybrid letter writing (HBL) is an experiential learning assignment where students learn about media grammar and convergence by experiencing it. The current modus operandi of teaching convergence and media grammar is inadequate because students do not get an opportunity to experience or apply the concepts. HBL uses conventional letter writing and hybridizes it to give students an experience of the uncomfortableness of applying incorrect media grammar by involving technological convergence. This experience further becomes the base for reflection, internalization, and learning. HBL involves students both cognitively and affectively to help them experience convergence and media grammar, and internalize it.

Courses

Mass Media and Communication, Introduction to Telecommunication, Media Effects, Introductory Broadcasting Writing, Multimedia Writing.

Objective

Students will able to (1) define media grammar and convergence, (2) identify inaccurate media grammar, (3) compare media grammar of different media, and (4) judge the appropriateness of media grammar for content.

通过混合字母写作来教学媒体语法和融合

摘要

本文介绍了一项作业，该作业将帮助教师有效地向他们的学生传授媒体语法和融合知识。混合字母写作（HBL）是一项体验式学习作业，学生可以通过体验来学习有关媒体语法和融合的知识。当前的教学融合和媒体语法的作法操作是不够的，因为学生没有机会体验或应用这些概念。HBL使用传统的字母书写方式并将其混合使用，从而使学生体验到通过技术融合来应用错误的媒体语法所带来的不适感。这种经验进一步成为反思，内化和学习的基础。HBL让学生在认知和情感上都参与进来，以帮助他们体验融合和媒体语法，并将其内化。
