Optional DM101: E-Learning DM101: E-Learning Semester 1 | Credits: 5 This module is an exploration of how digital technologies and networked culture are influencing how we learn. There are many different opinions with regard to how technology should be used to support learning and instruction. Deciding which are relevant and how they are best deployed is a complex and challenging task. Looking through the lens of available software applications, social media, mobile devices and apps, students will explore how their own learning and others is shaped and changed by their digital activities. Key theoretical readings become topics for deeper discussion around our evolving understanding of learning in a networked age, and the design implications of this.

What Our Students Say Alan Murphy | Currently working at EO Teilfís An excellent course, covers a broad range of topics, very friendly lecturers, learned lots and expanded my knowledge base to many areas, which is essential in any job hunt. It was also enjoyable! Dermot Condron | Currently working at Makin Media Mobile I chose NUI Galway, as I had heard the teaching staff was excellent, and the University had great learning facilities. I wasn’t disappointed. The course provided me with the necessary skills-set for industry. The technical skills taught, such as web design, 2D and 3D animation, are all skills I am now putting into practice. As well as providing technical skills, the course has a theory side to it that gives understanding to how Digital Media Production as a process is informed by narrative analysis, cinematic traditions and creative discussion. The goal of the course is to combine creativity with technical ability that is useful from a business prospective. For me, the course achieved this ambition. The teaching staff was second to none. We had great facilities at the college, with our own computer room that we could work from. The class size was small, so we all got to know each other easily. Shannon Reeves | MA Digital Media The MA in Digital Media really is a unique course, not only because of the range of subjects taught (from databases to interactive design, e-learning and writing in the digital age) but also because of the range of backgrounds and skills that students bring to the course. Because everyone has different strengths and areas for improvement, and because we're learning such an array of skills and technologies, there's an inevitable community bond which grows up very quickly between members of the class, as everyone helps each other and contributes to classroom learning. We've also got a dedicated lab where we can work on our own computers, discuss our assignments, and even just socialise, which means there's a healthy mix of social and educational development as the year progresses.

Is ar an Luan amháin a reáchtálfar an cúrsa páirtaimseartha. Forléargas ar an gCúrsa An bhfuil fonn ort ardcháilíocht a bhaint amach i Léann na Gaeilge? An bhfuil suim agat breis scileanna taighde, anailíse agus cur i láthair a fhorbairt? An bhfuil tú ag smaoineamh ar thaighde a dhéanamh ag leibhéal na dochtúireachta amach anseo? Má tá, b’fhéidir gurb é an MA sa Nua-Ghaeilge an cúrsa duitse. Is í Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh an ceannródaí náisiúnta ó thaobh Léann na Gaeilge. Tá saineolas ag foireann Roinn na Gaeilge ar gach tréimhse de chuid na Gaeilge, ón luath-thréimhse go dtí an teanga chomhaimseartha. Tá áiseanna taighde den scoth ag an ollscoil agus rinneadh infheistíocht mhór le déanaí i gcartlanna na hollscoile, rud a thugann buntáiste ar leith don mhac léinn ar mian leis/léi taighde a dhéanamh sna bailiúcháin Ghaeilge atá againn. Tá an Ghaeltacht ar leac an dorais againn agus tá teacht ag na mic léinn ar áiseanna foghlama agus taighde den scoth sna campais Ghaeltachta atá ag an ollscoil i gConamara agus i nGaoth Dobhair. Má dhéanann tú an cúrsa lánaimseartha (bliain amháin), beidh léachtaí agus seimineáir ar siúl dhá lá sa tseachtain. Is féidir an cúrsa a dhéanamh go páirtaimseartha chomh maith (thar dhá bhliain) agus beidh léachtaí agat lá amháin sa tseachtain sa chás sin. Agus an cúrsa seo críochnaithe agat, beidh tú in ann: - Feidhmiú go cruinn ag leibhéal gairmiúil agus acadúil trí mheán na Gaeilge sa scríbhneoireacht agus sa labhairt; - Anailís chriticiúil a dhéanamh ar réimsí éagsúla de Léann comhaimseartha na Gaeilge: an Chritic Liteartha, an Chritic Chultúir agus Shóisialta agus an tSochtheangeolaíocht; - Cur chuige idirdhisciplíneach a léiriú san anailís chriticiúil ar réimsí éagsúla de Léann na Gaeilge; - Do chuid taighde agus anailíse a chur i láthair go cumasach agus go héifeachtach ag an leibhéal cuí acadúil; - Taighde nuálach, neamhspleách a dhéanamh ar shainábhar de do rogha féin agus an taighde sin a léiriú i bhfoirm tráchtais. Baineann na torthaí foghlama céanna leis an Dioplóma Iarchéime seachas nach bhfuil taighde neamhspleách i bhfoirm tráchtais le déanamh.

Cuirfear ar chumas na mac léinn teoiricí liteartha agus cultúir a chur i bhfeidhm ar théacsanna liteartha Gaeilge ar bhealach tuisceanach a thugann aird ar shainchúinsí na teanga féin agus ar cheisteanna tábhachtacha a bhaineann le litearthacht agus léitheoireacht. Tráchtas Is é aidhm an mhodúil seo an mac léinn a spreagadh le feidhmiú as a stuaim féin chun ábhar tionscadail a roghnú agus tráchtas 15,000-20,000 focal a chur i gcrích faoin ábhar sin laistigh de spriocanna ama soiléire agus ag an gcaighdeán gairmiúil agus acadúil cuí. Is gá do mhic léinn dhá cheann de na cúrsaí roghnacha seo a dhéanamh (luach 20 ECTS). Ní bhíonn gach cúrsa ar fáil gach bliain. An Athbheochan Déanfar iniúchadh ar phríomhdhíospóireachtaí ré na hAthbheochana (1876-1930) maidir leis an nualitríocht agus leis an teanga féin.

I mo shaol gairmiúil mar iriseoir is gá scagadh agus póirseáil a dhéanamh ar eolas. Go minic, is gá an t-eolas atá ar leas an phobail a aithint, a scaradh ó eolas eile agus a chur in iúl don ghnáthdhuine ar shlí atá sothuigthe. Tairbhe as cuimse a bhí san MA sa Nua-Ghaeilge chun mo chuid scileanna teanga agus anailíse a fhorbairt. Ba luachmhar an taithí chomh maith gur leagadh béim ar scileanna cur i láthair mar chuid den Mháistreacht. Ailbhe Nic Giolla Chomhaill | Mac Léinn PhD Thug mise faoin MA sa Nua-Ghaeilge sa bhliain 2012. Bhí mé díreach tar éis BA a bhaint amach agus ní raibh mé iomlán cinnte cén treo ina rachainn ó thaobh gairm bheatha de. Thug an MA deis dom modúil a roghnú a bhí an-éagsúil óna chéile ach a chuir ar mo chumas scileanna anailíse luachmhara a fhorbairt agus tuiscint den scoth a fháil ar litríocht agus ar chultúr na Gaeilge. Spreag an cúrsa seo dúil mhór sa taighde ionam agus shocraigh mé leanúint den taighde agus tabhairt faoi dhochtúireacht in Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh. Ní fhéadfainn tabhairt faoin dúshlán sin gan na scileanna teanga, scríbhneoireachta agus cur i láthair a d’fhoghlaim mé le linn na máistreachta. Amanda Bernhardt & Seanchán Ó Cinnéide | Massachusetts Tugadh an deis don bheirt againn an MA i Nua-Ghaeilge a dhéanamh sa bhliain 2012. Le deontas ón Choimisiún Fulbright, bhí muid in ann bogadh go Gaillimh agus tabhairt faoin iarchéim le chéile. I dtús báire, mar Mheiriceánaigh ba dhúshlán mór é na cúrsaí a dhéanamh ag leibhéal chomh hard sin os rud é nach raibh an cúlra teanga céanna againne agus a bhí ag na mic léinn eile. Thug foireann Roinn na Gaeilge neart tacaíochta dúinn, áfach, agus tá muid thar a bheith buíoch díobh uilig. Ní amháin gur saineolaithe amach is amach iad sna hábhair atá á dteagasc acu, múinteoirí agus daoine den scoth atá iontu fosta. Anois, agus muid ar ais sna Stáit, bíonn muid ag teagasc na Gaeilge sna coláistí áitiúla agus ag stiúradh comhráite beo i nGaeilge ar líne. Bhí taithí ar dóigh againn i nGaillimh.
