M learning seminar
Mobile learning (m-learning) involves using mobile devices like smartphones and tablets for educational purposes. It began in the 1970s with Alan Kay's development of the portable Dynabook computer. M-learning allows faster access to information anywhere and has lower costs than other methods. It can be used for notes, research, discussions, and educational apps. While m-learning provides benefits like accessibility and engagement, it also faces challenges of screen size, connectivity, app quality, and assessing learning outside the classroom.
Lesson 2 internet language learning
This document outlines objectives for a lesson on the internet. It will define internet terms, describe the history and development of the internet from the 1960s onward. It will analyze educational uses of the internet and how it can be used for language learning. Specifically, it provides opportunities for authentic content, vocabulary practice, communication and language exchange through forums, email and voice chat. Learners can also find learning materials and cultural information online as well as create their own materials to share.
Media Imperialism Reformulated
Two models of media imperialism are discussed - cultural imperialism and dependency theory. Cultural imperialism asserts that Western media dominates non-Western cultures and imposes Western views, threatening local cultures. Dependency theory argues that the development of rich nations was achieved through exploiting poorer ones, creating economic and cultural dependencies. While media imperialism exists, some regions like India have numerous local and international TV channels to choose from. However, increased quantity does not ensure independence as production costs fall, benefiting large Western media corporations.
Introduction to Online Teaching-Learning
Online education involves taking courses over the internet without attending a physical school, allowing for flexible schedules and self-paced learning. It can be synchronous, with live virtual classes, or asynchronous, where students complete lessons independently. The growth of online learning presents challenges for institutions but also opportunities to reach more learners through virtual classrooms that allow interaction between students and teachers.
Multimedia
Multimedia involves integrating various media like video, audio, graphics and text into an interactive presentation. It is characterized by the combination of different media to make teaching and learning more effective. Multimedia approaches incorporate various mediums to enhance the teaching-learning process. Some benefits of multimedia include making learning more engaging, providing flexibility and variety, allowing individualized instruction, and helping students retain information longer. It can also provide hands-on experiences and motivate students to learn.

Mac129 MED102 video games and representation 2010 11
The document discusses representations of gender, race and other groups in video games from the early 1950s to present day. It notes that early game development was dominated by white heterosexual males, resulting in stereotypical portrayals of women, racial minorities and other groups. While more inclusive in recent years, concerns remain around objectification of women and normalization of violence. The industry has also been slow to include diverse groups in design and development roles. Overall, the document examines how representations in games both reflect and help shape cultural attitudes.

Mac129 Video Games And Representation
This document discusses representations of gender and race in video games. It notes that early game development was dominated by white males, leading to stereotypical portrayals of women and minorities. While games have increasingly featured female characters, they are often depicted in sexualized or subordinate ways. The document outlines some positive changes in recent games that appeal more to female audiences but argues the industry remains conservative and further progress is still needed to make games more inclusive.
video games and representation 2012
This document discusses the representation of gender in video games. It notes that historically, games have been designed and developed primarily by heterosexual men, resulting in representations that often feature stereotypical portrayals of women as sex objects or in domestic roles. However, some recent games like The Sims, Wii Fit, and Farmville have expanded representations and attracted more female players. The document also examines issues around the underrepresentation of women in game design careers and the typically masculine gaming spaces and culture.
Video games
This document discusses representations of gender and masculinity in video games. It notes that many early adventure and beat 'em up games were designed by male developers for male audiences and featured stereotypical masculine themes. While the gaming audience has grown more diverse, representations of females tend to emphasize sexualization and stereotypes like the damsel in distress. The document also examines claims about effects of violent games and discussions around improving representation and diversity in games.
Week 10 Game Design
The 1990s saw the rise of 3D graphics and first-person shooter games. Doom, released in 1993, was influential as one of the first hugely popular 3D FPS games. It combined free 3D movement with fast-paced shooting action and helped establish conventions for the genre. Another influential 1990s game was Civilization, a turn-based strategy game released in 1991 that involved building civilizations over thousands of years and competing with others. These games represented a shift toward more immersive and adult-oriented gaming experiences.
Video games
The document provides information on video game demographics, the history of gaming, debates around whether games make kids violent, and a conclusion. It notes that 62% of gamers are male, the average gamer age is 33, and 69% of US households play games. Key events in gaming history include the release of Pong in 1958, the Odyssey home console in 1972, Pac-Man in 1980, and the introduction of first-person shooters in the 1990s. Studies have shown mixed results on links between violence and aggression, but gaming may provide benefits like improved problem-solving skills. The conclusion is that games are here to stay and can have educational value when used appropriately.
Video Gaming
1) Video games have historically underrepresented women and minorities in both character representations and marketing. Female characters have often been limited to tropes like the damsel in distress.
2) More recent games have provided more options for customizing avatars and their race/gender, but stereotypes still persist in both character designs and player interactions. For example, most black male characters are athletes.
3) Massively multiplayer online role-playing games in particular can reinforce real-world biases through the social interactions between globally connected players. Representations in games both shape and reflect societal views.
1.2 games and society
This document discusses video games and their relationship with society. It covers why people play games, game demographics based on ESRB ratings, and societal reactions to violent games. It also addresses cultural issues like offending certain groups, different rules around violence and sex in foreign countries, and both positive and negative online player behaviors within games. In general, the document examines how games interact with the broader community and culture.

The document discusses gender differences in computer game preferences and the emergence of "girl games" as a genre. It notes that early computer games were designed primarily for young male audiences and featured stereotypical gender roles. Researchers found that girls tended to prefer cooperative gameplay without violence over games designed for boys. Game developers then began creating games for girls that emphasized social interaction, emotions, and realistic themes over action/violence.
Med122 digital games: narrative and play
This document discusses debates around how digital games are understood and analyzed. It outlines the narratology and ludology approaches, where narratology focuses on games as storytelling media and ludology emphasizes games as systems of rules and player interaction. The document also discusses how games combine both narrative elements and principles of play, challenging the notion that these are mutually exclusive. It provides examples of games studied through each lens and debates around player agency, character design, and the relationship between gameplay and narrative.

L21 Games and Gamification
The first computer games go back to the 50s when a nought and crosses game was created using an EDSAC computer. An effort at MIT ten years later led to a the multiplayer Spacewar game developed in a PDP-1. Even though these games were primitive, a game industry was born with the first games available in special locations – arcades. Today’s games are produced with modest Hollywood budgets and some are selling more than box-office hits.
In this lecture we look at computer games and the gaming market. Also we cover the impact of gaming and the trends.

Videogames
David Gottlieb invented the first mass-produced arcade game called Baffle Ball in 1931, which was a precursor to pinball. Although pinball grew in popularity, it was banned in NYC in the 1930s as gambling. Gottlieb introduced new pinball games featuring multiple flippers in 1947 that skirted gambling laws and reignited the arcade industry. The earliest interactive video games emerged in the 1950s and 1960s on computers that filled entire rooms, and Spacewar in 1961 is considered the first interactive video game. Today video games span genres from mobile apps and social networking games to massively multiplayer online games played by millions.

Med332 marketing albums in digital era
Radiohead released their album "In Rainbows" digitally in 2007 with an optional price, allowing fans to pay what they wanted, including nothing. This unconventional release strategy received significant media attention and cut through the noise in a way that a traditional marketing campaign could not. As music sales decline, artists must get creative with digital marketing to maximize exposure. Lorde has found success selling as many albums as Miley Cyrus without relying on hype or provocative antics, proving high-quality music can stand on its own.

Med332 Digital disruption in the music industry
Digital technology disrupted the music industry in three main ways:
1. The introduction of digital formats like the CD and file sharing services like Napster made music easier to copy and share, reducing sales of physical formats and enabling rampant piracy.
2. As streaming services like Spotify grew, they shifted listening habits away from paid music downloads towards ad-supported or subscription streaming models, reducing revenues for labels and artists.
3. Younger audiences became less willing to pay for individual songs or albums as there were many free alternatives, devaluing music and making it harder for artists to earn a living from their work alone.

Mac201 television constructing the public
This document discusses the role of media in shaping public opinion and functioning as a public sphere. It examines debates around the responsibilities of broadcasters to stakeholders versus audiences. The ideal role of news media is seen as disseminating accurate, politically relevant information to contribute to an informed civic society. However, contemporary media are argued to have become "re-feudalized" due to ownership, advertising, and spin. The document analyzes BBC and ITV news coverage of public opinion and finds they construct audiences as apathetic. It also discusses whether shows like Question Time truly represent public spheres or serve ratings.
Med332 women and pop
Women have faced marginalization and invisibility in histories of popular music. They have often been viewed primarily as singers and restricted from instrumental roles. To achieve success, women sometimes had to masquerade as masculine or temporarily assume expert positions normally held by men. Girl groups in particular were seen as transitory and meant to keep femininity in a subordinate role rather than allow women to achieve long-term fame or fortune. However, some artists have challenged gender stereotypes and pushed back against the notion that women cannot have their own musical ideas or be true collaborators.

Mac201 arab spring
Networked journalism and the Arab Spring
1) Networked journalism refers to professionals and amateurs collaborating across traditional boundaries and platforms to report on events. It recognizes journalism as a process rather than just a product.
2) During the 2009 Iranian election protests, social media like Twitter played a key role in sharing information and organizing demonstrations when mainstream media faced censorship. However, social media also spread misinformation and exposed users to government monitoring.
3) The 2010-2011 Arab Spring uprisings saw social media and networked journalism help coordinate and spread information about protests in Tunisia and Egypt that ultimately led to the ousting of authoritarian leaders, despite some governments attempting to shut down internet access. While social media contributed to
Mac201 big data
The document discusses the rise of big data and its applications and limitations. It notes that while big data allows unprecedented tracking of digital behaviors, incorrect assumptions can lead to big errors.
