The current module studying is Education Program:University of Hull/Psychology of Internet Behaviour (Spring 2014) which consists of editing a Wikipedia page and also includes learning about communication theories. The module is taught by Toni Sant and Darren Stephens who are showing me the basics elements of how to edit a Wikipedia Page and giving me advice/directing me on where I should go for help, they have recommended Teahouse. I am working in a group with Irina, Nat, Tom and Danielle to edit the page. The sections I will be doing are Common expectancy violations in close relationships and The theory in new media age. I will also be helping Nat to design and develop a suitable Diagram for Proxemics.
