A psychological horror film establishes seemingly normal settings and characters to create an unsettling atmosphere. Main characters are often women to emphasize their vulnerability. Common character types include young adults, the mentally or emotionally unstable, goths, detectives, and partners. Music and sounds are carefully crafted to enhance tension, suspense, and the feeling of being watched or followed. Cinematography also builds dread through low lighting, obscurity, and point-of-view shots. Common plots and icons reference haunted houses, symbols of death, masks, screaming victims, and phallic weapons.
Talk on Ebooks at the NSF BPC/CE21/STEM-C Community MeetingMark Guzdial
Why we should use ebooks (rather than MOOCs) for CS learning opportunities for high school teachers. We use educational psychology principles to design our book. The talk presents data from our first three studies: usability, log file analysis, and learnability
Flash Talk for the ECEP Alliance from the NSF BPC Community MeetingMark Guzdial
The Expanding Computing Education Pathways (ECEP) Alliance (an NSF Broadening Participation in Computing alliance) helps states broaden participation in computing education and improve their computing education. This five minute (20 slides, 15 seconds per slide) talk introduces ECEP and offers a model for how states can get started with improving and broadening their computing education.
Providing learning and reflection opportunities to develop in-service CS teac...Mark Guzdial
Meeting the Challenges of Growing CS Teaching:
How we provide opportunities to in-service teachers for reflection with feedback?
Disciplinary Commons for Computing Education provides one model with an emphasis on community.
How do we influence the development of CS teacher identity?
The important factors we can influence are (a) a teacher community and (b) clear definitions of what is CS.
How do we provide Computer Science and Computer Science PCK learning opportunities in-service?
We are building and testing an ebook to meet teachers’ needs.

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.
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”.

2. How does the audience know it is a
psychological horror?
• A major clue that a film is a psychological
horror is often that the setting would be
normal and a familiar everyday event where
tragedy will occur.
3. Characters
• It is important to establish a character, but in a
psychological horror film it is important to establish
their traits and features slow by not revealing their face
or their opinions and beliefs at the start.
• Characters can also be figments of the imagination or
things which do not exist in real life, for example ghosts
or hallucinations.
• The main hero or character is usually a women. This
emphasises the stereotypical view that women are
more fearful than men and are more likely to react
more to small events such as footsteps, things moving
and therefore they are more vulnerable.
4. Normal characters within a
psychological horror are.
• Young adults or a child.
• Mentally unstable.
• Emotionally unstable.
• Dark, gothic.
• A detective or other authority figure.
• An unsuspecting partner or friend.
5.
6. Music and sound
• Music can often enhance a psychological horror. It can
create moments of suspense through high pitched noises
or the sound of footsteps approaching the victim. It can
also be used in contrast to what is going on.
• Instrumental music is often used which adds to the tension
created by the storyline, violins and other classical
instruments. The music usually builds up to a climax to help
entice the audience on intense part of the films.
• Psychological horrors also use the sound of people in pain
to create atmosphere. Sounds of people screaming,
struggling and suffering, gun shot wounds are typically
used.
7. Plots
• It is conventional for psychological horror to
be well paced also for the plot to take its time.
This will keep the audience engaged on the
film.
8. Lighting
• Low key lighting is used to create fear and
tension, a lot of obscurity. It is used to create
enigma and mystery, it also helps to create
and unsetting atmosphere that builds tension.
• Because of this moments of bright light or
colour often are the climax.
9. Editing
• Fast pace editing is often used to emphasise
drama and heighten tension.
• Slow paced editing is also used in particularly
emotional parts. This allows more
concentration on the character and their
suffering and pain.
• Hand held camera shots make the diegetic
sounds like footsteps and echoes lets the
audience fell apart of the action.
10. Iconography of a psychological horror
• The haunted house (forbidden chamber)
• Symbols of death
• The disfigured face or mask
• The screaming victim (in modern horror the
‘final girl’)
• The phallic murder weapon: knife, stake,
chainsaw.
