1. How successful do you think you conveyed your research to your audience?

Seeing quantity and quality of my projects, I think I did a splendid job on conveying my research material to my audience. I used various technique to make my presentation interesting and high-qualified work. It was composed of various formats, so that the viewers can not get bored and have a better understanding about my drama. First format of my project is similar to encyclopedia. Starting from prologue, reader can be captured and would have strong urge to read rest of my encyclopedia since it starts out by catchy students. Most importantly, the content of this wikispace is clearly-written and it does do a good job on explaining important information of Asian dramas. It highlights about one of the key components of east Asian dramas. Second format of my project is video, which highlights about superiority of Korean Drama. By watching my video, people can easily get the concrete reason why Korean drama is famous all across the Asia. Third format of my project is interview-based-video. It enables reader to know about others’ opinion on how they viewed east Asian dramas. This can definitely help people to comprehend Asian dramas in deeper manner. Such of this unique formats that other barely used and thoroughly researched material imply that I did a good job on teaching my research to my audience.

What would have made your presentation more successful?

My presentation would have been more successful if I included the fun clip that explains about the stereotypes of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese dramas. In that way, the audience of my wikispaces as well as I can learn one of other key components of dramas. Moreover, it could have made my project more interesting and unique. Furthermore, if I organized the content on the wiki into movies, it would have been more successful because there are part where it needs input of image. Yet, I did not add it because there wasn't any space for it.

How successful do you think your technology-based materials were in conveying your research?

I think my technology-based materials did an effective job conveying my research to the audience in easier manner. Because it’s video, the audiences can easily understand what I’m saying with vividly depicted image. However, it would have been more successful if I precisely cite the information. With correctly and precisely cited information, you can make your project more reliable and you become credible writer.

What would have made your technology-based materials more successful?

If I have known how to use Imovie in an effective manner, I would have made my technology-based materials more successful. Because I am very bad at editing videos and amateur on using technology-based materials, some parts of my videos are very awkward. Moreover, if I organized my wikispaces in more advanced manner, the reader can easily find the information that they need in future. Because I didn’t know how to put a menu category, which was often found on encyclopedia, I did not put it on my wikispace. Hence, the audience could not use my site as if it were a wikipedia and it made me to even have hard time finding the information.

What did you learn from this project? Submit any other comments after this question.

I learned tremendous amount of information regarding Asian dramas. I first learned about history of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese dramas, which I have never even known of. Also, studying the history of television dramas also taught me about several significant historical events. For example, I learned about Chinese government, censoring the broadcast of spy, mystery dramas in order to air a propaganda-based-dramas. Another tangible example is what I learned from Korean history of television dramas. I learned how Korean government enacted a law to flourish the culture of television dramas. In terms of characteristics, I learned three countries have developed many genres of dramas and they used dramas as a technique to make a disapproving social commentary on their society and display a historical event. Other than that, I learned how Korean dramas has become popular and people’s opininons about the difference, similarities between Korean dramas and Japanese drams, as well as Chinese dramas and Korean dramas.
