Intercollege Limassol Communications students get the Mediazone Grand Tour!

On Thursday March the 8th we had the pleasure of hosting Dr Anna Farmaki’s Advertising class as well as Mr. Tsagalas’s communication students from Intercollege Limassol. They made the trip out to the University of Nicosia to visit Mediazone, get the “grand tour” and receive a brief multimedia presentation on the “Evolution of advertising – the move into the online domain” from myself. That was followed by a “quiz / game show” where students got a chance to show what they learned. The students also got a chance to work with all of the Mediazone team and Lab Assistants to get a glimpse into what some of the roles were in a “live to tape” studio control room – via a small workshop.

Mediazone hosts High School Career Week!

The  tradition continues as many of the Lyceums sent students out last week to real world employers for an experience that combines both a working and teaching environment. Mediazone was asked specifically if they could host Marianna Papamichael Grade: B’8, School:  Archbishop Makariou C-Dasoupolis for the week. Of course it was our pleasure. It was great having Marianna in Mediazone, who followed a schedule that allowed her to spend time with all employees of Mediazone, giving her a taste of the administrative, creative, technical and service oriented aspects of what Mediazone does, both for the University and for students. Marianna had a very positive attitude and was enthusiastic. She was willing to learn and try new things. She displayed interest and abundant energy  in the various tasks she undertook.

The results are in!

With the launch of the new Mediazone student website many features such as the audio / radio online reservations were still in beta mode. This did not stop the traffic that occurred over the semester. Students and internet users were visiting the Mediazone website for one reason or another. We encourage all University staff, & students to use the website as a tool. We view it a bit like the Swiss army knife of information. It has everything you need to get students through their practical courses in the Communications Department as well as its promotional features, such as: Handbooks, facility & equipment descriptions & the courses related to them, uploaded student work & much more! Below is the breakdown for the past semester:

Christmas comes early! University of Nicosia Announces- Best practices Winners – Mediazone!

Mediazone has recently earned the recognition, winners for “Best Practices” from the entire pool of Administrative staff – throughout the University Of Nicosia.  Mediazone’s growing reputation for being resourceful, progressive, innovative, and totally focused on the needs of you – the student is what has led to this award. The new student website was the initiative that started the ball rolling. We recognized that we had strong infrastructure, in the way of facilities & equipment, offering an array of modern up to date equipment technology for students taking practical courses in the Communications Department. So how could we maximize these benefits to the students?  How could we make Mediazone a “one stop shop” for students taking practical courses? The key was the website and all of its components. If you have any suggestions on how to improve – please use the contact us section of the website & give us your feedback!
