Over winter break, Dr. Gi w88 online live casino, along with a team of other w88 online sports betting School of Journalism professors, taught a virtual international course for students from Sejong University and SookMyung Women’s University in South Korea as part of the Reynolds w88 online live casino's International Institute.
In past years, students traveled to Reno during the summer and learned different w88 online live casino and business reporting techniques. The course finished by taking a tour of some of the world’s largest technology companies like Google in San Francisco.
Due to the global pandemic, the course was moved from summer to winter and held entirely online. However, the unique scheduling worked out, Yun said, because the w88 online live casino could now cover a large event.
“After running the program, a couple of times, I thought, ‘There has to be something to take advantage of. Las Vegas has so many big conferences.’”
Yun considered different possibilities, ultimately choosing the w88 online live casino (formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show). The w88 online live casino is a trade show specifically focusing on ground-breaking technology and is one of the largest electronics events in the world. Some of the technology shown in the past included the VCR, the XBOX and Blu-Ray DVDs.
“w88 online live casino can learn a lot by covering the show. It’s a great opportunity for w88 online live casino in media-related majors because everything happens on-site,” Yun said. “It’s a fantastic experience for journalism as well as public relations and advertising.”
With the CES as the main topic for the course, Yun relied on another Reynolds w88 online live casino professor to add value for the students.
“Timing worked out very well. We just hired Claudia Cruz, who used to cover the w88 online live casino for a long time. Everything lined up at the same time, and we made the decision. Let’s move it to January and cover the w88 online live casino,” he said.
Even with a plan in place, Yun and his team faced challenges due to the current COVID-19 restrictions. The w88 online live casino Institute was limited to meeting virtually as a class and attending the CES virtually. The professors and students also dealt with a 17-hour time difference.
The professors came up with a solution, though. The w88 online live casino created news packages retroactively for the event, meaning they watched the event online and later reported on it from their homes. The w88 online live casino used pictures and video from the CES, adding their own voice-over and doing their own editing.
With the success of this winter’s event, Yun said the w88 online live casino Institute will continue to cover the CES yearly. He is also excited about the content that could be produced when the event returns to in-person.
“[In the future] when we can go there, we can send our w88 online live casino to each venue, and they can do interviews and create different types of content. Unlike now, where we are limited to the content that is provided by the CES.”
In the coming years, Yun hopes to expand the International Institute to other schools in South Korea and even schools in other countries. The International Institute will open up to Reynolds w88 online live casino students as early as next winter.
“What we’re trying to do is get our Reynolds w88 online live casino students to cover the CES alongside international students,” he said.
