The Evolution of Video Community (EOVC) is a cross-device behavior tracking program drawn from households across the nation. The passive data collection examines how Americans use services and devices to view video; movies, short-form content and TV shows (SVOD & OTT) and interact with providers of services or advertising.
The EOVC is driven by a multi-modal, passive data collection technology supported by ABS-based surveys and social media touch-points. The survey component gives Centris insight into household demographics, service providers and ownership of devices so the EOVC is as representative as possible.

Fundraising using social media: A briefingMark Walker

<My main aim is to inspire people to get on and do it - to pick up the reins and start trying to make it work.
Data-sharing and Intelligent Commissioning and 3rd sector from Charity IT Con...Mark Walker
I made a presentation to the Charity IT Conference about how charities can ask local councils to use their data as part of the commissioning process
It includes reference to www.databridge.org.uk, a project developed in Brighton as part of a highly successful City Camp project
How local authorities can work with the third sector: SOCITM 25Mark Walker
I was grateful for an opportunity to speak to ICT professionals from the public sector at the 25th SOCITM conference in Birmingham on 30 November. SOCITM is the Society of IT Managers and represents a network of over 300 local authorities and more than 30 charities and not for profit organisations.
I am a member of the SOCITM Third Sector Groups and shared the stage with Martyn Croft, CIO of The Salvation Army. Between us we represent either end of the third sector spectrum. I have spent the past 15 years working with very small local charities, social enterprises, community groups and other not for profit organisations in Brighton, many of which have no staff and hence have very low level of investment in IT. Martyn is Chief Information Officer for an organisation with a turnover of £210m, putting it in the top ten charities in the UK.
We took the chance to show the many positive opportunities for collaboration and partnership working between public sector and the third sector, focusing on three specific options:
1. Volunteering
2. Intelligent Commissioning
3. Partnerships
I'm co-running a workshop for charities about using the press and social media to promote your not for profit organisation. It's in Brighton in November, organised by Working Together Project.
It includes a checklist for social media as part of the marketing mix plus five steps to running your social media campaigns.
I've credited the images wherever possible - apologies if I've missed some.
I am working with two people from the NHS to help them integrate social media into their work. This is the presentation from the first of a three stage process.
Although they have lots of skills and knowledge this first step is a general introduction, to make sure they have chance to ask questions and share their knowledge with each other. We used it to agree some broad learning goals and specific actions they can take.
Next step is to begin planning specific campaigns as part of their work.
The third step will be to reflect what they've learned and identify new learning goals.
These sessions will be a month or so apart to give them chance to try things out.
110714 Cybermummy feedback from community reportersMark Walker
Claire Jones-Hughes is a founding member of Brighton & Hove Community Reporters and has been blogging about her experience as a mum for several years, under the name of contented mummy.
She gave a great report to the July Community Reporters meetup about how parent bloggers are attracting the attention of big brands and the PR agencies that promote them.
110707 e-safety - creating a social media policy to safeguard service usersMark Walker
I delivered a 90 minute briefing about why and how to develop a social media policy, to help charities make safe use of the web.
Although I use the phrase 'social media policy' some people in the session felt that social media was too narrow a term and does not encompass email, websites or other IT stuff.
In fact that is exactly what I think social media does encompass. Maybe it's because I'm using it every day but I realise now use the term as a code for all online activity. We agreed that this is is one example of why the discussion about having a policy is so important, as it helps to challenge the language which we can take for granted but which can be a barrier to others.
In researching the session I discovered a lot of information about e-safety for young people prepared by and for schools but very little for community organisations.
I also found just about nothing on the web that was about safe web use by anyone other than young people. More and more older people's services are offering IT access, so this presentation is as relevant to them as it is to young people.

Third Sector, Commissioning and the Big Society in Brighton & HoveMark Walker
Two presentations back-to-back form a Community Workers Conference in brighton last week.
The first was used by Sally Polanski, Chief Officer of the Community and Voluntary Sector Forum to guide us through the current approach to commissioning in the city, with a particular emphasis on how the third sector could add value to the process.
The other is an overview of BigSociety and is based on an Urban Forum session which ran in the city recently. It was delivered by John Routledge, Head of Communities Team in the CIty Council.
Both offer an excellent primer on current issues, explain the jargon and start to explore potential opportunities.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Some more figures from recent surveys A lot of these people fall into groups that we as third sector organisations are working with A CHOICE ? We could pack up and go home after drawing the conclusion that these people are not using the internet so we don’t need to change or service delivery to reach these people with new media. They are happy outside of the circle and we are happy to work with them like that. OR We could look at ways to bring these groups inside the circle and more effective in our work and drive down social exclusion through increased digital inclusion by looking at these tools and ideas? These are the people front line organisation in OUR sector see and are seeking to support every day. We have a responsibility as LIOs to lead by example.
Background figures to the web from recent surveys Digital Inclusion research has identified there are barriers that individuals and organisations put up to not using the internet or not going A STEP FURTHER and really exploring the potential of new media / new ideas Lack of physical ICT connection – no, or poor broadband No percived reason to be online – this is where peer support and media examples, community working features Lack of skills to use a computer (could be basics of a PC or internet navigation) or lack of affordable ICT equipment See www.raceonline2012.org for more information

Point to note that the are fed to the user (via RSS – more on that later) and can be listened to away from the PC.
We combine this with a link in LINX and on the website to therefore get a corresponding leap in the number of page views and downloads – for example 155 unique visitors to the work plan podcast and 136 for the Futurebuilders podcast. Low cost and easy to do. Microphone (Rode Podcaster) is £120, but it can be done with an iphone. Software (Audacity) is free.
Blogs seem to have a bad name ... And some are egotastic rambles! But many examples of where they genereate useful discussion and opinion sharing about a subject. Wordpress very powerful and can build blogs which are effectively full websites. Free – but may need to pay a little to remove ads
Need just a “flip” camera or a reasonable mobile phone – possible for around £100 - £150 Upload to hosting sites such as Vimeo or YouTube (BTW – this is second most popular search engine) Clips recorded should be natural, not scripted (although do rehearse) Make vox-pops of real people affected by the cause or event that you want to promote

Is it wise to use Facebook in our Organisation? It depends what they use it for, but it’s probably an advantage if it helps you stay abreast of current trends and improves your communications. It is easy to see sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Bebo and MySpace as a timewaster. Most people use them on a personal basis, unrelated to their work, and they can easily be seen as a distraction. However social networking sites such as Facebook may be a valuable element in your organisation’s communications or campaigning strategy. They represent a new way of reaching audiences and connecting with people with similar interests. Many charities have set up Facebook groups and use it to share news about their activities and raise money. In terms of using new tools there is rarely a quick win and there is a lot to be said for not being an early adopter. Networks such as this are also very organic in the way they develop, which can challenge the way that you work. On the other hand lots of people are already active, so maybe you’re missing out because you’re not up to date with current thinking? The best way to understand its potential is to be familiar with what it does and how it works. So maybe you - or someone you know - should be using it as well?
Facebook – become a fan of .... .... This is an example of an LIO using Facebook to bring together pictures and events and potentially to gain extra supporters who would not have found them otherwise. .... Also heard of a Kids organisation in Herefordshire who needed supporting statements and testimonies for a funding application. They set up a Facebook Group and in just 3 days got 49 statements for the bid from their friends and users of the organisation who were already on Facebook. Important point, as with all social media – don’t establish a presence on Facebook and then tell existing followers (or people you hope to interest) that they must get a Facebook account. This won’t work! Use Facebook (etc.) to connect with people who are already 100% conversant with the platform but who you’d like to target as followers. Also mention Bebo (aimed at a younger age group) and MySpace (very good for musicians) LinkedIn (more professional business use)
Just under 2000 unique visitors 31 groups 557 members Many active discussion, pictures, videos Not as powerful or rich in features as the individual elements of social media, but a very effective way to quickly build your own social network with many social media functions. High degree of control over user access to groups and discussions, possible to set up hidden or invitation only groups. Facilities to include pictures, video, audio, chat and file uploads, also many application written available as plug ins. Simple and menu driven, can also use own HTML code and with CSS knowledge design templates and logos to insert. Free version has (targeted) adverts which can be removed for a £20/month fee
(NOTE – Slides for these three follow Google Docs, ooVoo and Doodle, talk in more depth about each as slide comes round)
It may be helpful for a group of people to be able to work together on a document at the same time. They may be drafting a policy together, preparing a grant application or producing guide to services. One option is to save the document with the author’s name and a version number and circulate it by email. Even in small groups documents can get out of sync and take time to work through. An alternative is a wiki, a collaborative web site that allows authorised users to change the content of the pages though the internet, as well as view a history of changes. Alternatively online document services such as Google Documents offer a way of sharing word processing documents or spreadsheets, so that there is just one copy of a document as it evolves. Whatever the choices the tools are becoming easier to use and may well suit organisations of all sizes who have want to help people collaborate.
Works very well for video calls with up to 3 participants
Objectives ...Decide what message you want to convey or what campaign to raise Audience ... Don’t decide on a social media platform / tool and then ask your supporters to join that platform then support you as they will first be faced with the barrier of accessing the new tool. Instead establish a presence in the platform or using the tool where you already know your target audience are. Strategy ... Have a clear idea of where the use of social media should take you – treat it like any “traditional” marketing campaign in this sense. Its about people and their stories. Implement ... See what others are doing, look at similar organisations. Try out tools and websites, sign up for free trials, tell a limited number of supporters at first. Sustain ... Very important. Don’t launch and then leave alone! Social networks need to be cultivated, conversations need to be stimulated and people need their questions and points they raise responded to. If this doesn’t take place the network will very quickly loose its inertia. Consider writing this “gardening” role into someone’s job description or recognising it as a key organisational task. Don’t be concerned if you feel the need to “pull the plug” on a communication idea if its not working. As most social media is free or very low cost this shouldn’t have a huge impact financially.
Useful Links Not by any means an exhaustive list enough to get you started in terms first stage sign posting, if unable to help directly, you should be sign posted on to organisations that are able to help and advise further.
