Feedback on Activities

Activity 6.3 How would you classify the following (either medium or technology)?

My answer:

 newspaper  medium
 printing press  technology
 television program  medium
 Netflix  either: technology for delivery; medium for services
 classroom  technology; the classroom is a technology of the medium of face-to-face teaching
 MOOC  medium
 discussion forum  either: technology for the software; medium for its actual use

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thus it can be seen that the context in which the term is used can influence its categorization.
