Vom Seminar zur Lerneinheit – und zurück. Der abgestimmte Prozess zur Konzeption und Produktion von interaktiven Lernmaterialien als nachhaltige Erweiterung des Studienangebots an Hochschulen

Im Rahmen des BMBF-Leitprojektes „Virtuelle Fachhochschule“ werden in einem interdisziplinären Team an der TFH Berlin 12 Online-Studienmodule für die Bachelor-Studiengänge Medieninformatik und Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen produziert. Unter der Leitung langjährig in der Lehre erfahrener Professorinnen und Professoren wurden mediendidaktisch anspruchsvolle Online-Kurse entwickelt. Das didaktische Design war neben der Produktentwicklung konsequent auf die Entwicklung eines effizienten Produktionsprozesses für multimediales Lernmaterial ausgerichtet. Das Online-Lernmaterial ist so modular aufgebaut, dass Teile daraus in die Präsenzlehre integrierbar sind. Der mehrstufige, abgestimmte Produktionsprozess kann für die kostengünstige Erstellung von Online-Material in anderen Fächern genutzt werden. Das Verfahren ist darüber hinaus erweiterbar. Diese Entwicklung leistet einen Beitrag zur nachhaltigen Integration von Online- Lehr- und Lernangeboten im Hochschulbereich.(DIPF/Orig.)

Technical and Didactical Scenarios of Student-centered Teaching and Learning

In this paper we envision didactical concepts for university education based on self-responsible and project-based learning and outline principles of adequate technical support. We use the scenario technique describing how a fictive student named Anna organizes her studies of informatics at a fictive university from the first days of her studies to make a career for herself.(DIPF/Orig.)

Digitaler Campus: Vom Medienprojekt zum nachhaltigen Medieneinsatz in der Hochschule

Mit den zunehmend verfügbaren Erkenntnissen aus einer Vielzahl von Projekten und Aktivitäten an Hochschulen geht es heute vorrangig nicht mehr um die Erprobung „neuer“ Ansätze mediengestützten Lernens, sondern um die (Weiter-) Entwicklung von Strukturen und Prozessen, um bestehende Ansätze auf der Basis solcher Erkenntnisse konsequent zu erweitern und die aufgezeigten Potenziale digitaler Medien in der Lehre gezielt zu nutzen. Zentrale Aufgaben werden die Umsetzung von Konzepten des Medieneinsatzes in der alltäglichen Lehre und deren dauerhafte Integration in den Hochschulalltag, in Studienrichtungen und Studiengänge. Dieser Band gibt einen Einblick in aktuelle Bemühungen an Hochschulen, diese Prozesse der Hochschulentwicklung mit und durch Medien zu gestalten. Er beinhaltet die Vorträge der GMW03 – Conference on Media in Higher Education, der 8. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Medien in der Wissenschaft e.V., die vom 16.-19. September 2003 an der Universität Duisburg-Essen stattgefunden hat. (DIPF/Orig.)

Electracy in Praxis: Pedagogical Relays for an Undergraduate Writing Curriculum

The paradigm shift from traditional print literacy to the postmodern fragmentation, nonlinearity, and multimodality of writing for the Internet is realized in Gregory L. Ulmer’s electracy theory. Ulmer’s open invitation to continually invent the theory has resulted in the proliferation of relays, or weak models, by electracy advocates for understanding and applying the theory. Most relays, however, remain theoretical rather than practical for the writing classroom, and electracy instruction remains rare, potentially hindering the theory’s development. In this dissertation, I address the gap in electracy praxis by adapting, developing, and remixing relays for a functional electracy curriculum with first-year writing students in the Virginia Community College System as the target audience. I review existing electracy relays, pedagogical applications, and assessment practices – Ulmer’s and those of electracy advocates – before introducing my own relays, which take the form of modules. My proposed relay modules are designed for adaptability with the goals of introducing digital natives to the logic of new media and guiding instructors to possible implementations of electracy. Each module contains a justification, core competencies and learning outcomes, optional readings, an assignment with supplemental exercises, and assessment criteria. My Playlist, Transduction, and (Sim)ulation relays follow sound backward curricular design principles and emphasize core hallmarks of electracy as juxtaposed alongside literacy. This dissertation encourages the instruction of new media in Ulmer’s postmodern apparatus in which student invention via the articulation of fragments from various semiotic modes stems from and results in new methodologies for and understandings of digital communication.

Regards sur les territoires des ancrages haïtiano-montréalais : les impacts des pratiques transnationales au quotidien

À Montréal, les Haïtiens forment le troisième groupe ethnique en importance et offrent un exemple de peuple en diaspora. Étudier leurs mobilités et pratiques transnationales, ainsi que leurs incidences sur la redéfinition des concepts d’identité et de territoire, permet alors de comprendre les articulations entre le local et le transnational, dans le contexte de globalisation et de rétrécissement du monde permis par les nouvelles technologies. L’objectif de la recherche est de comprendre l’impact des pratiques transnationales et des médias dans la construction territoriale et l’ancrage des Haïtiens montréalais. Pour ce faire, 18 entrevues de type récit de vie ont été menées auprès d’un échantillon représentant les différentes vagues d’immigration haïtienne et des tables rondes ont été organisées. L’analyse des discours a permis de mettre en lumière les trajectoires, les lieux et types d’ancrages ainsi que le rôle des nouvelles technologies dans les liens translocaux de cette communauté. Les résultats, non généralisables, mettent de l’avant le rôle important des médias dans l’ancrage. Par exemple, l’ancrage des migrants de la première vague a été facilité par la création de radios haïtiennes, ces dernières ayant aidé à cimenter la communauté d’alors. Pour les deuxièmes générations, les nouveaux médias permettent de s’identifier à la diaspora et de s’ancrer en Haïti, avec des projets de développement, comme à Montréal, à travers l’expérience du cosmopolitisme. Finalement, l’analyse des récits de vie des nouveaux arrivants le confirme : les médias donnent la possibilité d’un ancrage inédit gardé à disposition avec les nouvelles technologies d’information et de communication.

Resistance performances: (Re)constructing spaces of resistance and contention in the 2010-2011 University of Puerto Rico student movement

On the night of April 20, 2010, a group of students from the University of Puerto Rico (UPR), Río Piedras campus, met to organize an indefinite strike that quickly broadened into a defense of accessible public higher education of excellence as a fundamental right and not a privilege. Although the history of student activism in the UPR can be traced back to the early 1900s, the 2010-2011 strike will be remembered for the student activists’ use of new media technologies as resources that rapidly prompted and aided the numerous protests. ^ This activist research entailed a critical ethnography and a critical discourse analysis (CDA) of traditional and alternative media coverage and treatment during the 2010 -2011 UPR student strike. I examined the use of the 2010-2011 UPR student activists’ resistance performances in constructing local, corporeal, and virtual spaces of resistance and contention during their movement. In particular, I analyzed the different tactics and strategies of resistance or repertoire of collective actions that student activists used (e.g. new media technologies) to frame their collective identities via alternative news media’s (re)presentation of the strike, while juxtaposing the university administration’s counter-resistance performances in counter-framing the student activists’ collective identity via traditional news media representations of the strike. I illustrated how both traditional and alternative media (re)presentations of student activism developed, maintained, and/or modified students activists’ collective identities. ^ As such, the UPR student activism’s success should not be measured by the sum of demands granted, but by the sense of community achieved and the establishment of networks that continue to create resistance and change. These networks add to the debate surrounding Internet activism and its impact on student activism. Ultimately, the results of this study highlight the important role student movements have had in challenging different types of government policies and raising awareness of the importance of an accessible public higher education of excellence.^

Mídia e educação

O presente trabalho buscou analisar o atual discurso jornalístico sobre educação, no contexto da internet como nova mídia, levando em conta os efeitos das mensagens difundidas e no que contribuem para o processo histórico e cultural do meio em que vivemos, trazendo como estudo de caso, uma pesquisa realizada no Portal do Jornal Zero Hora – um dos veículos de comunicação com maior circulação do Brasil. Buscando empreender uma pesquisa bem sucedida, e, como uma forma de nortear o que nos propusemos a desenvolver no papel de pesquisadores, definimos perguntas que nos orientaram no decorrer deste trabalho, entre elas: Como se dá o discurso educativo no Portal Zero Hora? Como o discurso jornalístico no Portal Zero Hora contribui para disseminar assuntos relacionados à educação? As informações veiculadas no Portal Zero Hora contribuem para a formação contínua do professor? A partir do arcabouço teórico e metodológico planejado, partimos para a pesquisa empírica que se utilizou de uma vasta revisão bibliográfica e de técnicas e métodos quantitativos e qualitativos, buscando respaldo nas Teorias do Jornalismo, as quais contribuíram para o sucesso dos resultados. Das teorias, nos alicerçamos da Análise de Conteúdo e Análise de Discurso, Teoria do Agenda-Setting e Teoria de Knowledge Gap, com base na fundamentação teórica de autores. A investigação concluiu que o meio online exerce um papel importante na difusão de notícias da área educacional, contribuindo na construção da realidade social e no desenvolvimento e enriquecimento cognitivo, cultural e informativo das pessoas em sociedade. Constatamos que a divulgação de informações na mídia online colabora na formação de processos comunicacionais, possibilitando reflexões que incentivam às transformações no contexto da educação.

Journalisation dans un Programme de carrière en nouveaux médias : Le rôle de la réflexion par l’action

The purpose of this case study is to report on the use of learning journals as a strategy to encourage critical reflection in the field of graphic design. Very little empirical research has been published regarding the use of critical reflection in learning journals in this field. Furthermore, nothing has been documented at the college level. To that end, the goal of this research endeavor was to investigate whether second-year students in the NewMedia and Publication Design Program at a small Anglophone CEGEP in Québec, enrolled in a Page Layout and Design course, learn more deeply by reflecting in action during design projects or reflecting on action after completing design projects. Secondarily, indications of a possible change in self-efficacy were examined. Two hypotheses were posited: 1) reflection-on-action journaling will promote a deeper approach to learning than reflection-in-action journaling, and 2) the level of self-efficacy in graphic design improves as students are encouraged to think reflectively. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, a mixed methods approach was used to collect and analyze the data. Content analysis of journal entries and interview responses was the primary method used to address the first hypothesis. Students were required to journal twice for each of three projects, once during the project and again one week after the project had been submitted. In addition, data regarding the students' perception of journaling was obtained through administering a survey and conducting interviews. For the second hypothesis, quantitative methods were used through the use of two surveys, one administered early in the Fall 2011 semester and the second administered early in the Winter 2012 semester. Supplementary data regarding self-efficacy was obtained in the form of content analysis of journal entries and interviews. Coded journal entries firmly supported the hypothesis that reflection-on-action journaling promotes deep learning. Using a taxonomy developed by Kember et al. (1999) wherein "critical reflection" is considered the highest level of reflection, it was found that only 5% of the coded responses in the reflection-in-action journals were deemed of the highest level, whereas 39% were considered critical reflection in the reflection-on-action journals. The findings from the interviews suggest that students had some initial concerns about the value of journaling, but these concerns were later dismissed as students learned that journaling was a valuable tool that helped them reflect and learn. All participants indicated that journaling changed their learning processes as they thought much more about what they were doing while they were doing it. They were taking the learning they had acquired and thinking about how they would apply it to new projects; this is critical reflection. The survey findings did not support the conclusive results of the comparison of journal instruments, where an increase of 35% in critical reflection was noted in the reflection-on-action journals. In Chapter 5, reasons for this incongruence are explored. Furthermore, based on the journals, surveys, and interviews, there is not enough evidence at this time to support the hypothesis that self-efficacy improves when students are encouraged to think reflectively. It could be hypothesized, however, that one's self-efficacy does not change in such a short period of time. In conclusion, the findings established in this case study make a practical contribution to the literature concerning the promotion of deep learning in the field of graphic design, as this researcher's hypothesis was supported that reflection-on-action journaling promoted deeper learning than reflection-in-action journaling. When examining the increases in critical reflection from reflection-in-action to the reflection-on-action journals, it was found that all students but one showed an increase in critical reflection in reflection-on-action journals. It is therefore recommended that production-oriented program instructors consider integrating reflection-on-action journaling into their courses where projects are given.

Lecturas de la prensa popular: Un estudio de recepción del periódico Q'hubo en la localidad de Kennedy en Bogotá

En este trabajo de grado se aborda la relación entre las audiencias y los medios a partir de un estudio de recepción del diario Q’hubo en los sectores populares de Bogotá, específicamente en la localidad de Kennedy de esta ciudad. El estudio reconoce que las formas determinadas de interactuar con los medios están atadas a los contextos, las instituciones y los entornos culturales y sociales desde los que lector construye su realidad y se inserta en la sociedad actual. Por lo mismo, se nutre de estos elementos para entender los procesos de recepción a través de las formas cotidianas de consumo del diario Q’hubo frente al contexto mediático actual. Se sustenta que el Q’hubo se comunica con sus lectores combinando aspectos clásicos de la prensa popular y adaptando aspectos de diseño y lenguaje aportados por los nuevos medios. Lo que a su vez se relaciona con apropiaciones, usos y modos de leer de la audiencia, que reivindica interacciones tradicionales y desarrolla interacciones emergentes gracias a la convergencia de las tecnologías con la cultura letrada, oral y visual.

Tendencia editorial UR Número 7

El Boletín Tendencia Editorial es un proyecto que nació en 2010 con motivo de la Feria Internacional del Libro de Bogotá para construir y hacer visibles diferentes saberes desde la academia y la edición. Para 2014, el cambio de periodicidad coincidió con uno de los eventos más importantes para la edición universitaria, la Feria Internacional del Libro de Guadalajara donde anualmente se realiza el encuentro de Editores Universitarios Latinoamericanos, el proyecto pasó de su fase nacional a ser pensado en red. Las líneas temáticas traspasan fronteras locales y convocan, en un mismo espacio, las voces de los gestores y especialistas, cuya labor y experiencia permiten cada día mejorar la edición universitaria, lo que posibilita acabar con el mito que concibe a la Universidad como ente ajeno a la sociedad, cuando en realidad esta es la forjadora de líderes, investigadores y emprendedores.
