Media Industries
Media Industries
Media Industries is a new peer-reviewed, multi-media, open-access online journal that supports critical studies of media industries and institutions worldwide. We invite contributions that range across the full spectrum of media industries, including film, television, internet, radio, music, publishing, electronic games, advertising, and mobile communications. Submissions may explore these industries individually or examine inter-medial relations between industrial sectors. We encourage both contemporary and historical studies, and are especially interested in contributions that draw attention to global and international perspectives. Media Industries is furthermore committed to the exploration of innovative methodologies, imaginative theoretical approaches, and new research directions. The journal is maintained by a managing Editorial Collective and Editorial Board comprised of an international group of media industries scholars.

Conversation with Alan Levine, Pedagogical Technologist | DMLcentral
"“Instructional technologist” is an inadequate description for what Alan Levine has done at Maricopa Community Colleges, the New Media Consortium and the University of Mary Washington, often from his connected cabin in the Arizona highlands.  A better description might be: Alan Levine is a pedagogical technologist and architect of open, connected learning systems that enable students to take power over and responsibility for (and joy in!) their own learning. In Levine’s worlds of ds106, Phonar, and other open online courses, his coding and technical design often go beyond supporting existing pedagogy, by enabling learners to become co-learners.

STORYBOX - brought to you by The Saturday Light Brigade
STORYBOX - brought to you by The Saturday Light Brigade
Developed by SLB Radio Productions, Inc., the StoryBox is an innovative digital platform for sharing the authentic voices of children and youth with the greater community, and for demonstrating to children and youth that their voices matter. SLB launched the StoryBox technology as an extension of its 35-year history of using radio and audio to connect, educate and empower children, youth, families and the community. A one-of-a-kind storytelling vehicle—equal parts electronic device and work of art—each StoryBox features narrative audio recordings and original artwork created by area children and youth. The StoryBox unit itself is a 21” x 12” x 4” box that can be wall-mounted or placed on a table. The face of the device contains pictures with “hot spots” that are pressed to hear corresponding audio. For example, pictures of children can be pressed to hear an essay, poem, story, reflection, or narrative created by a participating child. StoryBox audio is recorded in SLB’s professional studios located in the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh or at schools, libraries and community sites using professional field equipment.

Creating Radio in the Language Classroom | Language Lab Unleashed
"Readers of LLU know that I am a huge fan of Radio Ambulante. As I was listening to Radio Ambulante episodes last summer, I was reminded about the importance of listening…listening closely… in a second language. RA’s audio is authentic…for a non-native speaker it sometimes takes a while to understand what is happening, but the stories are so captivating that you want to hang on and keep listening and learning. Last fall, and inspired by Radio Ambulante,  I tried something new with my Spanish conversation class.  In addition to the activities I normally ask them to do outside of class, like talking with native speakers in the target language via the Mixxer, last semester we worked together to create a semester-long (one hour episode per week x 16 weeks) radio show that was broadcast live on our college radio station, WOBC."

Meaning in Communication | The Fight for Better Presentations
"This is my contribution to the ongoing quest to save people from bullet point hell. The style of The Fight for Better Presentations is heavily influenced by the title sequences of Saul Bass and the spy movies of the sixties. I also cannot deny the inspiration of two notable anime series. Let’s see if you can spot the reference. More importantly, I hope that this animation itself may serve as an inspiration to create better presentations and as a showcase of what you can do with presentation software."

The Woman Behind Apple's First Icons
The Woman Behind Apple's First Icons
"For many, Susan Kare's icons were a first taste of human-computer interaction: they were approachable, friendly, and simple, much like the designer herself. Today, we recognize the little images -- system-failure bomb, paintbrush, mini-stopwatch, dogcow -- as old, pixelated friends. But Kare, who has subsequently done design work for Microsoft, Facebook, and Paypal, has also become her own icon, immortalized in the annals of pixel art. We had a chance to interview her

Epistemic Network Analysis
Epistemic Network Analysis
This empirical project attempts to provide a transformative and novel answer to a foundational issue for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning: How can we measure the development of complex STEM thinking? Young people today need to develop complex thinking in STEM in order to participate in the social, economic, and cultural life of a globalized world. Yet we cannot create curricula, programs, or activities to teach complex STEM thinking unless we can measure and show whether students have developed it. In this project, we propose to develop epistemic network analysis (ENA) as a toolkit for measuring complex STEM thinking. Our goal is to develop tools and techniques that will be applicable to any form of complex STEM thinking, and thus our research and dissemination plan is explicitly designed to extend ENA to other STEM domains. This project is based on the psychological theory of epistemic frames, which suggests that complex thinking in any field requir
