My Possible worlds Exp.

Hi All!

When i first came to the possible worlds class, I was a already a month late to join the class,moreover the first thing I was told to set up my own blog.Now before this I  heard of blogging but never got a first hand experience of blogging.But as the PW classes went on I realised the variety which multimedia has to offer in terms of different kinds of communication and EXPRESSION.

The structure of the PW class has been very effective and I feel that it covers all the aspects, possibilities of the various mediums we can put to use to communicate. The guest lectures were all eye openers as people from varied fields have used these options to create their own speciality.

I got a chance to understand the logic used to design computer games when in one of our class we all participated as members of that virtual world. Also how these things are imagined and how the designers make the challenges in games and make all the games fascinating for the user.

The overall Possible worlds class experience has been very enriching for me as I come from a non technical background, today I can say confidently that in the coming year ahead I am surely going to be more proficient in possibly using many things which I have learnt in this class.
