This document discusses a case study of using digital storytelling in pre-service teacher education in South Africa. It explores how digital stories can construct emotions and examines the role of multimodality. Using digital stories, students were able to move outside their comfort zones and unpack their understanding of norms and differences. This pedagogy of discomfort generated negative emotions like vulnerability and anger, but also led to self-discovery and hope through critical emotional reflexivity. Digital stories gave marginalized voices a platform through critical storytelling and counternarratives.

Presentation at the Emerging Technologies and Authentic Learning in Vocational Education conference, 31st August - 3rd of September 2015, Cape Town, South Africa
Scholars across many disciplines have grappled with questions of what it means for a person to
be and interact online. Who are we when we go online? How do others know we are there and
how do they perceive us? Within the context of online learning, scholarly questions tend to
reflect more specific concerns focused on how well people can learn in a setting limited to
mediated interactions lacking various communication cues. For example, how can a teacher and
students come to know each other if they cannot see each other? How can they effectively
understand and communicate with each other if they are separated by space and, in many
instances, time? These concerns are related to issues of social presence and identity, both of
which are complex, multi-faceted, closely interrelated constructs.

Social presence is a popular construct in online learning. But it was originally developed by Short, Williams, and Christie (1976) to explain the effect telecommunications media can have on communication. Over the years, social presence theory has become much more nuanced. This presentation will illustrate how social presence theory has changed over the years and the implications of these changes for faculty and instructional designers.

Presentation to SOTL@UJ on 11 September 2014. This was the third leg of the presentation; the other two was by Thea de Wet and Gert van der Westhuizen.
Presented as an introduction to the study beginning in the fall - a personal reflection and literature review of the need to incorporate multicultural literature in the classroom on a frequent and regular basis to assist not only with reading skills, but in self development, esteem, and identification. Shared at UCF's International Conference on Poverty, Globalization, and Education: A Holistic Approach in February, 2015.
Social presence theory is a central concept in online learning. Hundreds of studies have investigated social presence and online learning. However, despite the continued interest in social presence and online learning, many questions remain about the nature and development of social presence. Part of this might be due to the fact that the majority of past research has focused on students' perceptions of social presence rather than on how students actually establish their social presence in online learning environments. Using the Community of Inquiry Framework, this study explores how social presence manifests in a fully asynchronous online course in order to help instructional designers and faculty understand how to intentionally design opportunities for students to establish and maintain their social presence. This study employs a mixed-methods approach using word count, content analysis, and constant-comparison analysis to examine threaded discussions in a totally online graduate education course. The results of this study suggest that social presence is more complicated than previously imagined and that situational variables such as group size, instructional task, and previous relationships might influence how social presence is established and maintained in threaded discussions in a fully online course.
Journalism & the New Media Literacies 101608Erin Reilly
Journalism is in a paradigm shift. More than any generation to come before them, today’s young people are participating in the creation and sharing of culture with the immediacy and connectedness that a digitally networked world provides. In many cases, these young adults are actively involved in what we are calling participatory cultures; a participatory culture shifts the focus of literacy from one of individual expression to one of community involvement.

Janxin Leu, Ph.D presentsText ToConnect. TextToConnect is a text messaging system that implements a program developed by Dr. Sara Konrath at Indiana University in collaboration with HopeLab Foundation to enhance empathy and pro-social behavior in teens. The messages prompt teens to imagine others' feelings and experiences, and do small kind acts every day. A pilot study showed that receiving these messages can actually increase teens’ willingness to help others and decrease levels of aggression. We’ve recently launched the program and are currently recruiting teens to enroll at TextToConnect.org.

Designing with Empathy [Code & Creativity 2014]Aaron Gustafson
Every decision we make affects the way real people experience our products.
We've all heard the rallying cry for user-centered design, but even those of us who ascribe to that ideal often fall back on our own biases and instincts when it comes to making decisions about how people experience our content and our services.
Sadly, this often means we make decisions we think will be good for our “users” - that anonymous, faceless crowd - rather than actually trying to understand the perspectives, surroundings, capabilities, and disadvantages of the actual people who we are here to serve.
In this session, Aaron will explore why empathy is a good thing, how empathy empowers creativity, and how we, as a community, can inject more empathy into our work.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Sense and sentimentality in digital stories – a case of pre-service teacher education in South Africa (literature review)

DIGITAL STORIES – A CASE OF
PRE-SERVICE TEACHER
EDUCATION IN SOUTH AFRICA

4. Story circle
“Stories move in circles. They don’t move in
straight lines. So it helps if you listen in circles.
There are stories inside stories and stories
between stories, and finding your way through
them is as easy and as hard as finding your
way home. And part of the finding is getting
lost. And when you’re lost, you start to look
around and listen.”
(Lambert 2010, v).

7. Opening wounds
This story it freaked me out completely
because it sort of scratched open wounds and
not just surface wise. But I was digging
deeper into getting an understanding of me
and even just consolidating the things that I
came up with, how I felt and how it impacted
and unpacking that and sort of putting it back
where it belongs again or rearranging your
whole mode of thinking. … it’s unnerving and
it left us sort of scattered, you know. (CF)
8. Vulnerability
Student 1: And then I think what - what the
most challenging to me was having to read it
out aloud - the story.
Student 2: Sharing your story.
Student 1: And then there was that dot - dot -
dot moment where you just went I'm - I'm
naked. I'm just exposed… And not knowing the
responses that you are going to get ….
9. You’ve got to delve into the lives of people who
you’ve been with for four years, who you’ve
greeted, who you’ve asked how are you but
just on that level. But after Wednesday [day of
screening] you still find people embracing
each other whom they’ve never ever spoken
really or hugged each other. (CF)
10. Emotions in education
Megan Boler Michalinos Zembylas
A professor at the University of
Toronto, Megan Boler teaches
philosophy, cultural studies, feminist
theory, media studies, social equity
courses in the Teacher Education
program, and media studies at the
Knowledge Media Design Institute.
Dr. Michalinos Zembylas is Assistant
Professor of Education at the Open
University of Cyprus. He is
particularly interested in how
affective politics intersect with issues
of social justice pedagogies,
intercultural and peace education,
and citizenship education.
11. Pedagogy of discomfort
Stipulates that for both
educators and students to
develop a deeper
understanding for their own
and their shared past, it is
necessary to move outside
their comfort zone, to start to
unpack their understanding
of norms and differences
(Boler 1999, Boler and Zembylas 2003).
12. Guilt
It suddenly made me realise like - how
hard some of the people work here
and how strong some people actually
are. You’d often say like - ah you
know - look at this person they never
come to class and things - or they
don’t do their assignments but you
don’t know that they’re not doing it
because they were up working all
night until five in the morning like
trying to earn money - it’s very
emotional… I was howling yesterday
and then I - I felt bad when I got home
I felt so guilty I thought but all I had to
do was ask that person all I had to do
was take an interest in them and I
haven't for four years. (WF)
13. Anger
Sitting there with them,
looking at the story for me the
aim was not for them to feel
pity for me, because that’s
always been an issue for me.
You don’t feel sympathy for
me. I don’t want you to feel
sorry for me. This is my story
and I’m proud of it. I’m not
ashamed of it. So for you to
feel pity it’s not going to help.
It’s not going to help me - I
don’t know if you will
understand. (BM)
14. Danger of sentimentality
Zembylas: sentimental reaction by students
identifying with the privilege feeling guilt /
defensiveness in privileged party and anger in
the victim, leading to desensitization &
disengagement (2011: 20)
15. Questions

stories play in the construction of these
emotions?

such as race and privilege for fear of the
emotions that might come up, be it bitter
feelings, anger, resentment and real pain

and their shared past, it is
necessary to move outside
their comfort zone, to start to
unpack their understanding
of norms and differences
(Boler 1999, Boler and Zembylas 2003).
22. Emotions
To engage in critical inquiry often means
asking students to radically re-evaluate their
world views. This process can incur feelings
of anger, grief, disappointment, and
resistance, but the process also offers
students new windows on the world: to
develop the capacity for critical inquiry
regarding the production and construction of
differences gives people a tool that will be
useful over their lifetime. In short, this
pedagogy of discomfort requires not only
cognitive but emotional labor. (Boler and
Zembylas 2003: 110)
23. Pedagogy of possibility
Result of pedagogy of discomfort: negative
emotional labour such as vulnerability, anger,
suffering.
Emotional labour can produce favourable
results, including self-discovery, hope, passion
an a sense of community.
24. Critical emotional reflexivity
….a process of using emotions as catalysts, to
allow the questioning of beliefs and
assumptions, exposing privilege and comfort
zones, with the aim for learners to find new
ways of being with the ‘Other’, and ultimately
leading to transformed ‘relationships,
practices, and enactments that benefit
teaching and learning for peace, mutual
understanding, and reconciliation’
(Zembylas 2011: 2)
25. Critical storytelling

26. Critical storytelling
One way to unearth students' historically
situated and culturally mediated lived
experiences is the telling of stories (Aveling 2006)
Critical storytelling (Solorzano & Yosso 2002) aims at
telling stories about uncomfortable issues,
stories of marginalised and often silenced
people.
27. Critical race theory
giving voice to normally silenced people and
subjugated knowledges, to provide ‘a way to
communicate the experiences and realities of the
oppressed, a first step on the road to justice’
(Ladson-Billings & Tate 2006: 21).
stockstories and counter-stories: ‘challenge social
and racial injustice by listening to and learning
from experiences of racism and resistance,
despair and hope at the margins of society’ (Yosso
2006: 171).
potential of healing through the communal hearing
of counterstories (Yosso 2006; Delgado 1989).
28. Its messy!
Within this culture of critical thinking (which is
not separated from feeling), a central focus is
the recognition of the multiple, heterogeneous,
and messy realities of power relations as they
are enacted and resisted in localities,
subverting the comfort offered by the
endorsement of particular norms. (p.131)
29. No one escapes hegemony
A POD invites not only members of the
dominant culture but also members of the
marginalized cultures to re-examine the
hegemonic values inevitably internalized in the
process of being exposed to curriculum and
media that serve the interest of the ruling
class. (Boler 1999)

Lots of engagement around digital storytelling
and difference
Less on difference & critical pedagogy
Only 2 references on digital storytelling &
counterstories
Rolon-Dow (2011): Race(ing) stories: digital
storytelling as a tool for critical race scholarship
Vaseduvan (2006): Making Known Differently:
engaging visual modalities as spaces to author
new selves
34. Multimodality
Multimodal pedagogy
Telling a story through different modes
Combination of different modes will result in
different meanings (Kress and Van Leuwen 2001)
Critical media literacy: critically analyzing
relationship between media and audiences,
information and power (Kellner and Share 2007)
35. Critical media literacy
‘Critical media literacy expands the notion of literacy
to include different forms of mass communication and
popular culture as well as deepens the potential of
education to crit- ically analyze relationships between
media and audiences, information and power. It
involves cultivating skills in analyzing media codes
and conventions, abilities to criticize stereotypes,
dominant values, and ideologies, and competencies to
interpret the multiple meanings and messages
generated by media texts. Media literacy helps people
to discriminate and evaluate media content, to
critically dissect media forms, to investigate media
effects and uses, to use media intelligently, and to
construct alternative media.’
Kellner and Share (2007: 4)
36. Sentimentality in digital stories
originate directly from participants lived
experiences, and often deal with significant
episodes in somebody’s lives
tendency to be very emotional
37. ‘Somewhat paradoxically from a critical
perspective, it is the very qualities that mark
digital stories as uncool, conservative, and
ideologically suspect – ‘stock’ tropes,
nostalgia, even sentimentality – that give them
the power of social connectivity, while the
sense of authentic self-expression that they
convey lowers the barriers to empathy.‘
(Burgess 2006:10)
38. The element of ‘emotional content’ is one of
the ways in which personal stories are
powerful and convincing and, in the context of
‘Digital His-tories’, communicate a personal
historically ‘situated truth’, one that is always
partial and incomplete. (Coleborn and Bliss 2011)
39. Danger of sentimentality
‘too sentimental, individualistic, and naively
unself-conscious’
call for everyone involved in digital stories to
‘maintain a reflexive and critical attitude within
a supportive and human purpose’ (Hartley and
McWilliam 2009: 14)
