Testimonials
This course was an enlightening experience, delving deep into the complexities of digital media in today's world. While every topic discussed were informative, I particularly resonated with discussions on: Digital Inclusion for Disabled People, AI Governance in Australia and Bias in AI Tools. These topics are not just academically intriguing but also immensely relevant in our tech-driven society. I've gained a nuanced understanding of how digital policies shape our interaction with technology, and the crucial role of inclusive governance.

One of my favourite modules in MMC is the Sydney immersion course of Digital Media Governance. From digital platform regulation to AI governance, the topics are not only insightful but deeply intertwined with daily life. This course bridges academia and industry, exploring disability inclusion in Australia and delving into content moderation on TikTok, and AI governance challenges and addressing AI bias. The class's active participation and diverse perspectives made it a truly enriching experience. Thanks to Prof Ang Peng Hwa, Lewis, and WKWSCI for making these experiences possible and unforgettable.
