Overview of Media & Communications study
• N=1018 comments left under four most commented-upon
videos showing eyewitness perspectives on policing of
disturbances
• Study examines whether commentators perceived this
footage as a form of hierarchical sousveillance (inverse
surveillance)
• Little rational debate about the broader issues e.g.
legitimacy of No Tesco campaign and media narratives
often reproduced by commenters
• Only a very small number of users perceived this footage
as hierarchical sousveillance

Resources for flipping
• Make your own – ScreenR, ScreenOMatic,
Quicktime
• Kahn Academy
Twitter for independent learning
Ideas for Twitter to Flip
• Students follow 10 economics practitioners. For 1
week, watch what these are tweeting, and note 3
trends. Post these trends onto VLE or bring to
class. Map these trends to current events.
• Students find 3 experts on a topic of their choice,
to follow on Twitter. Students may wish to do this
using an impersonal account (?). Students ask the
experts their opinion of the topic, the current
event, whatever it may be. Do these opinions
make sense, change students’ perception of the
topic?

Digital Literacy
• “Digital literacy is the ability to understand and use information in
multiple formats from a wide range of sources when it is presented
via computers.” (Gilster, 1997)
• Technology such as mobile devices and social media are now part of
our life and language, and should be included in learning:
– 24/7 flexibility & efficiency
– Further reach to experts
– Ethos and Ethics
– Lifelong learning
– Careers
Careers
• “As mobile platforms become more complex,
employers are increasingly looking for people
who can demonstrate a foundation of mobile
specific skills and experience to be sure of
delivering success.” – CWJobs.co.uk
