#Practice 7: Analysis of multimedia communication projects: 50FCOM

This blog talks about the 50th aniversary of the Faculty of Communication of Navarre. It explains the main facts that happened in the last half century.

•  How is the structure solved?

It is devided into six sections: "Página principal", "1958-1968", "1969-1978", "1979-1988", "1989-1999", "2000-2008", "Actualidad 2009" and "Sugerencias". Each section is at the same time divided into more sections. For example, "Página principal" is divided into "Alumnos FCOM", "Presentación", "Edificio", "Galería fotográfica de FCOM" y "Créditos". At the top of the page is located the title: 50fcom. At the bottom of the page on the left side there is a little section describing the pricipal aim of the blog.

•  Which information formats have been used in each section?

At the "Página principal" we can find two videos from youtube. In each section, there are texts.Those texts are accompanied by different photos that describe the facts explained by the text. Besides, there are lots of links that direct you to the source of information.

• What other resources, such as chronologies, maps, infographics, photo galleries and videos, etc. have been used?

As said before, there is an entire section dedicated to a photo gallery: "Galería fotográfica de FCOM". It includes pictures of estudents, lecturers,the building... etc.The main sections are organized chronologicaly, so it looks like a timeline.And, as said before, in the "Página principal" we can find two videos: one of an interview and other with a sequency of photos of the faculty.

• How can the users participate? What kind of interactivity and navigation mechanisms are provided?

You don't have a lot of opportunities of participating.You just can make suggestions at the section "Sugerencias" by sending a kind of email or you can post a comment at the same section.

•  How is the content being updated? 

There is not a clear proof of updating . Once the proyect was made, there is not a weekly or monthly update (or unless it is not specified).

• Does the project include social media resources (Web 2.0)? Which ones and what´s their purpose?

In the "Página principal" section, "Créditos", we can find a list of social nets and webs where the same topic is developed:

-Web: http://fcom50.jimdo.com/
 
-E-mail: fcom50@hotmail.es
 
-Blog: http://www.50fcom.blogspot.com/
 
-Youtube: 50FCOM

Their purpose it's to follow everything that is happening related to the web, to have more information, to contact the authors...etc.

Feedback

When you are watching a movie for more than 56 minutes, megavideo stops you. They give you the information (feedback) that you've been watching the movie for 56 minutes and that you have to wait half an hour or whatever to keep on watching it.

Productivity

Using delicious you can elaborate a list of your favorite bookmarks so you can use it wherever you are, without worrying about working from different computers. That makes your work easier, so it's an useful tool.

Creativity
Title of selected website: Knickerpicker
http://http://www.knickerpicker.com
Knickerpicker is a web in which you can virtually try on their underwear using virtual models and choose which one fits them best, and you can even buy the underwear online. It's a good example because you personally choose which underwear you want to put on them and create a nice look.

Adaptivity
Title of selected website: Facebook
http://www.facebook.com
It's a perfect example of adaptivity because when you look for some one in your search bar, it predicts who may you want to find. For example if you're looking for "Ana", it'll show all the Anas that you know, all the anas that your friends know and what's more, some groups in which the name of ana is included and may interest you. Furthermore, if you have more than one Ana as a friend, it will predict you firstly the one that you usually look for.

Communications
Title of selected website: Itv forum
http://forums.itv.com/
It's an useful web because sometimes you watch a program which no one watches in your group of friends .In these forums you can discuss with people keen on the same kinds of programs or issues. Besides, you can give advice and learn a lot from the others.
