Screening session highlighting excellent examples of media being used to support teaching and learning Screening Each screening includes a guided tour of a specific production or media-supported service, project or initiative followed by a short question
In spite of an ever growing landscape of social media and social networking, the bulk of learning media today is still rooted in ancient traditions. In this session Allen Partridge will incite and facilitate a discussion of roadblocks to the expansion of social networking in the context of media and learning. Are the sacred cows of teaching and learning with media changing? Should they be changing? Together we'll look at the anticipated, the actual and the potential change triggered by social networking / social media in the context of learning.

It’s probably important also to acknowledge that I’m aware of the potential irony in my choice of name for today’s session. The ‘sacred cow’ is a term with reportedly American roots. It is a term which is in some ways disrespectful. The implied meaning is of course that something is untouchable, but also that it is generally absurd that this thing is untouchable. While a cow as sacred might well seem inconceivable to many Americans - it is certainly not unusual at all to many Indians. I like that about our topic – because while we may identify beliefs held sacred, it’s always important to respect appropriately that which has come before. It is entirely possible that we’ll about face again – so rather than looking at change as a rejection of things, perhaps we can look at it as a willingness to openly explore opportunities for change.
So the topic of the day is
Hatsune Miku is an entirely virtual character created initial as something called a Vocaloid. Synthetic voice and 3D geometry combined to create live (yes, live) stage performances in Tokyo and Los Angeles of a virtual 3D rock star. Miku is fascinating in terms of the pure technology, but raises some interesting questions when we begin to think about media generation because of the way that she and her companion vocaloids can be rapidly generated and manipulated by everyday people using software provided for free by the company which created her.
Is it still true to say that we ‘consume media’? Are the traditional paradigms of broadcast dead? Dying? Is the difference as simple as pull versus push technology driving video, or is there something more fundamental than convenience driving the evolution of media in terms of consumption. Must Read: http://articles.businessinsider.com/2009-06-12/tech/30062877_1_tv-industry-tv-companies-business-models You don’t need an expert to tell you conventional television is dying – look in your living room. So what. Newsprint died and virtually nobody noticed. Live theater died several hundred years ago but nobody has told them. Media forms are constantly in flux and change. The critical difference here is that learning – esp. conventional education is reluctant to embrace change. Really – it’s that simple. Okay, maybe not quite that simple. Implications: Chaotic acquisition of media content, varied tastes etc. Does a media theory – eg. Demassification effect apply? Do we look at democritization / demassification in the same way in the wake of this change? If so, how does one map, leverage & monetize micro-cast audiences in a sea of micro-casting when there are few or no gates to control the media.
