Peace on Facebook? Problematising social media as spaces for intergroup conta...Paul Reilly
The document discusses the role of social media in divided societies and peacebuilding. It summarizes theories on contact between antagonistic groups and the potential for social media to facilitate positive interactions. However, it argues that social media platforms are not neutral spaces and amplify inflammatory content. While online contact may occur, claims about reconciliation are overstated given platforms prioritize engagement over quality of interactions. Ultimately, social media can exacerbate tensions if interactions increase prejudice between groups in divided societies.

Filter bubble and information behaviour, ISIC 2018, keynote speechSabina Cisek
The document discusses the concept of filter bubbles and their potential relevance for information behavior research. It defines filter bubbles as the intellectual isolation that can occur when websites selectively present information to users based on their past behavior and location. This personalization may limit exposure to opposing viewpoints. However, some research has questioned whether strong filter bubbles actually exist or whether personalization has significant negative effects. The document also explores filter bubbles from psychological, socio-cultural, and epistemological perspectives and provides some suggestions for how to mitigate the effects of filter bubbles, such as developing critical thinking skills and using different search tools and engines.

The "Google generation" not so hot at Googling, after allalanocu
A new UK report on the habits of the "Google Generation" finds that kids born since 1993 aren't quite the Internet super-sleuths they're sometimes made out to be.
Caroline Cerveny is a learner leader and digital immigrant with extensive experience in education, ministry, and new media. She holds degrees in educational technology and religious studies, as well as a Doctor of Ministry. The document discusses evangelization, the goals of evangelization according to the USCCB, what constitutes good news, and how the Church can communicate the gospel message effectively in a digital culture through tools like websites, blogs, social media, and mobile technologies.
2008 - ICWSM - Marc Smith - Some Dimensions Of Social MediaMarc Smith
The document discusses several dimensions of social media, including who produces and consumes it, how large social groups are, and how interactive social media objects are. It examines topics like ownership and control of social media content, the roles and connections of people in social media producing groups, and new forms of social interaction enabled by sensors and location-based technologies.
1. Contemporary social theories describe how digital technologies have shifted communication away from traditional face-to-face and print media towards functions like social media that follow an escalating logic and erase humanism.
2. The rise of social software, open access, and just-in-time knowledge enabled by the internet challenges traditional structures of gathering and sharing knowledge by allowing information to be more freely distributed and accessed.
3. However, merely distributing information does not necessarily lead to growth of knowledge, as knowledge requires information to be meaningfully modeled and analyzed rather than just believed. The internet allows "downloadable beliefs" but risks knowledge being reduced to beliefs without justification.

Open Science In Poland Educating For Innovation With CCAhrash Bissell
Keynote for a conference in Warsaw, Poland regarding open science in Poland. The focus is on the rationale for open science and how open education and OER are ideally suited to training our next generation of innovators and scientists.
Social media has changed politics by allowing politicians to directly connect with voters through platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. A case study on Scott Brown's campaign for US Senate found he had a large advantage over his opponent Martha Coakley in social media engagement that may have contributed to his unexpected victory. Another case study showed how a representative implemented a comprehensive e-communications strategy utilizing their website, email newsletter, and social media to engage constituents.
Intentional Use of Technology in 21st Century Teaching & LearningBen Kahn
This document discusses the challenges of technology integration in education in the digital age. It argues that while information is freely available online, students must learn to focus their attention and intentionally use technology for learning. Some educators worry that ubiquitous screens distract from learning, but banning tech is not the answer. Schools must thoughtfully integrate technology to prepare students for the modern world and cultivate digital literacy, while also teaching attention skills. The intentional and purposeful use of technology, guided by educators, can enhance learning when implemented correctly.
This document provides guidance for writing an essay about media in the online age. It suggests introducing the topic and providing some historical context before incorporating two theoretical references. It recommends focusing the essay on two media forms, with case studies to analyze how they have changed. The document outlines discussing present developments in the bulk of the essay by cross-referencing other media and incorporating debate. It suggests speculating about future developments and mapping theories to possible futures. A number of relevant theorists are provided along with notes on incorporating their ideas and challenging whether they remain applicable.
The document discusses how technology has changed knowledge production and communication. It explores how social media has enabled a democratization of knowledge by allowing anyone to publish information for a global audience. While the volume of accessible knowledge has grown, the document questions whether this has actually led to more growth in what is considered true knowledge. It suggests social media plays a role in knowledge production but should complement, not replace, traditional methods of peer review and rigorous fact-checking.
This document summarizes an article about podcasting for language learning. It begins by defining podcasting and discussing how the popularity of portable media players and iTunes has increased access to podcast resources. It then reviews current practices in podcasting, including the types of content available. It classifies podcast resources for language learning into two main groups: authentic content from native speakers, and language courses/teaching content specifically designed for language learning. The latter are further divided into stand-alone courses and supporting materials for classroom teaching or independent learners. The document discusses some examples of how institutions have utilized podcasting for language instruction.
This document discusses a working paper that aims to build theory about using social media environments for collective action by analyzing Facebook activism. The paper explores questions around why people share knowledge online, how Web 2.0 facilitates sharing, and how to analyze and explain social media use for activism purposes. Specifically, it examines whether Facebook activism can challenge the status quo, what types of activism social media supports, how social media facilitates political action, and the role of mass media communication.
The document discusses the history and evolution of the Internet. It began in 1969 as ARPANET, a network created by the US Department of Defense to share information. Over time, other networks were created and connected to form the Internet. Today, the Internet has a profound global impact and allows billions of access vast information online. It is widely used for leisure activities like social media, videos, and games. Surveys show the Internet has become the primary source of information for many, especially younger generations.
This talk introduced staff at University College Borås to an approach for teaching social media literacies that I was piloting with a group at the IT Technics University, Gothenburg, Sweden.

The document discusses seven types of ambiguity surrounding modern communications and media. It begins by outlining the author's concerns as a parent, reader, and citizen about issues like the blurring of real and virtual relationships online, overreliance on bullet-pointed presentations, and lack of nuanced political discourse. However, the author also acknowledges an inability to imagine life without tools like search engines, sensors, podcasts and social networks. The document then promises to explore seven specific types of ambiguity in more depth, borrowing the structure from a novel about ambiguity. It begins with the first type: the exponential growth of communication technology and its opportunities as well as challenges regarding information access and storage.
Presentation by the ROER4D Curation and Dissemination Manager, Michelle Willmers, on Science Communication to the “Middleware for Collaborative Applications and Global Virtual Communities” (Magic) project.
The document discusses the need to move from a model of science communication focused on dissemination of information to the public, to a model of deliberation and collaboration. It notes the status quo involves mainly informing the public of what institutions are doing, but that "prosumers" now expect a dialogue. It suggests using online tools and media to facilitate public discussion and debate around complex science and technology issues in a transparent way, in order to build trust and foster readiness for change.
The document provides an introduction to using social media for research dissemination. It discusses how the web has become about conversations rather than one-way information delivery. It also outlines various social media tools like blogs, wikis, Twitter and social networks that can be used to engage audiences and disseminate research. Finally, it gives tips for using social media effectively such as making research easily accessible, understandable, and shareable online.

It then discusses how scientists can communicate through various mediums and formats, including papers, multimedia, social media, blogs, and public outreach events. The document emphasizes that communication should have a clear purpose like branding, marketing, or education. It also highlights challenges like language barriers and the importance of funding for communication efforts.
Assignment #10 (p2): Group coursework presentation of researchmedia_jojo
Sociologists debate whether modern media and society are democratic or hegemonically controlled. While Web 2.0 has increased audience participation, some argue the elite who own media industries still shape public communication and limit competition. Others believe audiences play an active role in interpreting information. The rise of social media has enabled collective action and alternative media, though some platforms may indirectly influence users through personalized recommendations or popularity metrics. Overall, the relationship between media, society, and democracy remains complex with reasonable arguments on both sides.

The Benefits and Barriers for Social Media for ScientistsCraig McClain
Social media provides both benefits and challenges for scientists. It allows for quick connection and collaboration with other researchers, but does not directly correlate with increased citations. While it can help with outreach, communicating science to the public remains challenging. Many scientists see communication as filling knowledge deficits in the public, but this "deficit model" may not be effective. Effective social media use for outreach requires understanding audience and goals.

The document discusses knowledge strategy in a networked society and proposes two propositions: 1) That public value will be more effectively achieved through strategic policies that treat user value as flows across institutions rather than actions based on institution classes. 2) Public value will best be achieved by integrating unrelated institutions into a coordinated strategy. It suggests taking an ecosystem approach to create a public knowledge network and explores how knowledge institutions may need to change to remain relevant in the future.
Social media for science communication - URMA PresentationPaige Jarreau
This document discusses using social media for science communication. It defines social media and explains why it is important for scientists to use these platforms to communicate their research. Scientists are increasingly using social media to discuss and follow science topics. Younger scientists especially support direct communication with lay audiences. The document outlines various social media platforms and how they can be used effectively for science communication, including networking, reaching new audiences, and making science more accessible. It emphasizes using engaging storytelling techniques and focusing on two-way communication and audience goals.

Science News in the Digital Age - #SciCommLSU Lecture 7Paige Jarreau
The document discusses the changing landscape of science journalism in the digital age. It notes the rise of an extensive science news "ecosystem" that includes legacy media sources, science blogs, advocacy blogs, and social media users. Science journalists now play a variety of roles like conduits, public intellectuals, agenda-setters, watchdogs, and investigators. They also face pressures of adapting to online and social media while filling diverse roles as the news industry changes. The digital age brings challenges around reaching different audiences and ensuring high-quality science information.
School libraries are at the heart of a new digital learning nexus. Our world changed in April 1993 when the Mosaic 1.0 browser was released to the general public. The challenges we face are equally creative as they are complex. What is your focus for tomorrow?
The document provides an overview of topics related to social perspectives on media and ICT, including:
1. Media saturation in today's environment with high rates of technology adoption.
2. Digital inequalities that exist globally and regionally in terms of access, skills, and usage.
3. The complex nature of media effects and influence, which involves many mediating factors.
4. Shifting media production with the blurring line between producers and consumers.
5. Engagement and democracy, where the internet theoretically enables greater civic participation but reality often falls short of expectations.
6. The evolution of social relations as the internet becomes more integrated into daily life.
Similar to Dissemination 2.0 - the role of social media in research dissemination (20)
People use chatbots for productivity, entertainment, social purposes, and novelty. A survey of 146 US chatbot users found that the main reasons for using chatbots were productivity (68%), entertainment (20%), social/relational purposes (12%), and novelty (10%). Chatbots were used most on Facebook Messenger. Chatbots are seen as convenient for obtaining help and information. Some also use chatbots for entertainment when bored, or for social reasons to enhance social relations or have something to talk to when feeling lonely. A few are curious about chatbots due to their newness. The implications for human-computer interaction research include designing for conversational interactions and addressing digital divides and privacy issues.
This is an invited talk I presented at the University of Zurich, speakers' series 2.10.2017. The presentation is based on the following paper: Brandtzaeg, P. B., & Følstad, A. (2017). Trust and distrust in online fact-checking services. Communications of the ACM. 60(9): 65-71
The document discusses a study on how younger journalists in their 20s use social media. It finds that they use a wider variety of social platforms like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram more actively than older journalists. However, their past social media posts from when they were younger sometimes conflict with their present professional roles. This causes a "time collapse" as they struggle to separate personal and professional identities online. As a result, some young journalists are more cautious about self-expression on social media out of fear their past digital footprints could be used against them. The document also finds social media is reshaping journalists' newsgathering by providing a "networked public" but that younger and older cohorts use different social platforms.
Social media as a trustworthy news source: Exploring journalists’ working pra...Petter Bae Brandtzæg
We report on findings from qualitative interviews conducted with 24 journalists working with social media in major news organizations in Europe. We identified five working practices concerning the verification of social media content and sources.
This document summarizes a study that used big data from Facebook to analyze gender differences and civic engagement among young people across countries. The study analyzed over 19 million Facebook users' likes of nonprofit organizations to identify patterns. Key findings included:
1) Young males were more likely to like politically oriented and informational pages, while young females preferred environmental and humanitarian causes.
2) Females in Western countries like Spain, Norway, and the US showed more civic engagement on Facebook than their male counterparts or females in countries like India and Iran.
3) While big data provides potential to reveal patterns of gender differences and cross-country civic trends, concerns exist that focusing only on data handling may neglect principles like representative

This document discusses moving from user-centric design of online communities towards community-centric design. It notes that online communities now reach 70% of the global online audience and are blurring the lines between producers and users through participation, sharing, and co-creation. However, most user-generated content comes from only 1% of community members. Living labs are proposed as a way to involve more community members in innovation processes by exposing them to new solutions in familiar contexts over medium-to-long term studies. The challenges of community-centric design are also discussed.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

• It’s greater competition than ever in science
• The society is dependent up on systematic
knowledge from research
• Citizens pays for most of it…..thus the science
needs to be disseminated back to citizens

• Visibility: More people can see and get access to my work
• Sharing: When you share your research other people will share
with you as well
• New contacts: You get in touch with a lot of researchers and other
persons and institutions interested in your field
• Discussion: You can discuss and get new insights in your field
• Feedback: It’s motivating – ”wow, nearly 400 people have seen my
