Author Introduction

Hello! My name is Harmanjit Kaur, and I am a student of Master of Arts in Digital Media & Global Communications. This website serves as the final Capstone Project for the course, designed to synthesize our learning on web design, digital curation, and the ethical implications of emerging media.

Purpose of the Website:

The main goal of this website is to:

  • Explain how students use social media to learn about global cultures

  • Share real-life examples of cultural exchange

  • Show curated digital resources on global communication

  • Connect course concepts like digital curation, UX design, and emerging technologies

Why This Topic Matters:

Students today are part of a global digital community. Whether it’s watching a TikTok dance trend from Korea or reading an Instagram post about Indian festivals, cultural learning happens naturally and quickly. This project highlights how these simple online interactions help build understanding, respect, and unity among students worldwide.

Objectives & Relevance to Digital Media Studies

Cultural Exchange is more than just social media management; it's a commitment to using technology to build bridges between cultures. This project is a testament to the idea that technology is not just a tool for distraction, but a powerful instrument for fostering empathy and building a truly global campus community.

Analyze Digital Literacy

  Assess how students navigate and evaluate cultural information online. * Apply Digital Curation: Select and contextualize resources that offer genuine insights into global student life. * Evaluate Emerging Media: Examine new platform features (AR, short-form video) and their impact on cross-cultural dialogue. * Promote Ethical Engagement: Highlight the responsibility of digital citizenship in global interactions.

This project is a testament to the idea that technology is not just a tool for distraction, but a powerful instrument for fostering empathy and building a truly global campus community.
