Week One - E-Publishing

I decided to change my module to E-Publishing. E-Publishing will be able help me gain an understanding of the nature of electronic publishing and electronically published materials, looking at the range, type and style of e-published materials.
As I missed the first lecture, I arranged a meeting with the module tutor who explained to me what the module involved and what sorts of things we will be looking at, including; websites, blogs, podcasts, streamed video and audio and e-books.
My tutor advised me to sign up to Moodle, which is an application on the university website. Moodle allows communication with the module tutor and with others on the course, it also shows a list of readings and what we shall be studying each week. He also advised me of the first assignment which is to create a blog and write an entry after every lecture.
After looking on Moodle it gave me an outline of what was gone over in the first lecture, which was an introduction to the course and what the assignments would be. It also asked us to think about the question 'what is e-publishing?' E-publishing is short for electronic publishing which is the publishing of works online, in a file format or on a CD but not in printed form.
Also started reading the core text, 'Books in the Digital Age'
