The use of new media is becoming increasingly important in people's lives. Most college and university students use some form of new media device in their daily activities. Thus far Baruch has done a good job in using new media devices. Baruch has both Twitter and Facebook pages. Baruch also has an Apple app geared around student life. If I were hired by Baruch, I would have someone create a website where all the professors have an account so that students can instant message their professors and classmates. This way if there is an urgent class related issue, the professor can respond right away.
Another new media system I would have created if I worked for Baruch is something similar to Facebook, where the professors have a profile and students can look at these profiles, particularly during registration time. These profiles will include information about the professor such as their teaching style, how they grade their classes, their plans for the class, etc. Inclusive to reading reviews on RateMyProfessor.com, these profiles will help students choose a class with a professor that will suit them.
As a student these are 2 systems I would be interested in.
