The document discusses social representations of community multimedia centers (CMCs) in Mozambique. The author aims to understand local perceptions of CMCs using Moscovici's social representations theory and previous work on telecenters. Quantitative and qualitative methods are being used, including interviews, pictures, and surveys. Preliminary results suggest local definitions of CMCs involve combinations of community radio and telecenter services, though definitions of each term vary. The work is still in progress.
IFIP 9.4 - Images of CMCs in Mozambique: a participatory photo-elicitation studySara Vannini
This document summarizes research on perceptions of community multimedia centers (CMCs) in Mozambique. 309 pictures were collected from 103 interviewees at 55 CMCs. The pictures revealed 3 broad positive themes and 29 specific themes regarding CMCs. Positives included opportunities for learning, work experience, and community impact. Negatives centered around needs for improved financial sustainability, premises/instruments, and access/communication to overcome information isolation. The research aims to inform policymakers and funders on users' perspectives to facilitate improvement actions at CMCs.
Community Multimedia Centres (CMCs) are community-based facilities that offer both community radio broadcasting and telecentre services. A study analyzed 241 semi-structured interviews and 361 photos from CMC users in Mozambique to understand how CMCs are experienced. The majority of positive photos focused on facilities and technology or the users themselves. Most negative photos highlighted issues with facilities and technology, especially problems with the physical space and equipment. The photo-elicitation method provided insights into users' subjective experiences beyond direct questioning.

This document discusses a study on the use of mobile devices in public access venues (PAVs) in Latin America. It provides background on PAVs and their role in bridging the digital divide. The study aims to understand how PAV operators conceptualize mobile technologies and development, and whether PAVs are incorporating mobile services. Preliminary results from a survey of 247 PAV operators found that over 75% were stand-alone venues and over half were in Brazil. A word cloud analysis showed operators associate mobile devices with terms like access, connectivity, and communication. The study uses social representation theory and diffusion of innovation theory to analyze the data.
Participatory re-action: reflecting on a Design-Based Research approach in ICT4DSara Vannini
The document discusses Design-Based Research (DBR) as an emerging methodology for studying learning through the design and evaluation of instructional tools and strategies in real-world contexts. DBR is characterized by iterative design, collaboration, flexibility, and mixed methods evaluations. The RE-ACT project applied DBR to study community media centers (CMCs) in Mozambique by examining social representations of the centers, co-designing improvement actions with local stakeholders, and conducting formative evaluations of the actions based on social representations. The project aims to better understand how design-based activities can translate to impactful local development and facilitate community members' role in leading their own improvement actions.

Inbound and Outbound Information and Communication FlowsSara Vannini
The document analyzes perspectives on information and communication flows from community multimedia centers in Mozambique. It conducted interviews with staff and users of the centers. The results showed that radio was the dominant method for both inbound and shared information and communication within communities, accounting for 87.2% of flows. Telecenters accounted for only 7.7% of flows and were seen by some as benefiting elites. While people recognized potential for internet access, actual usage was still low. Community radio was viewed as vital for sharing local news, government information, agricultural advice, and maintaining connections between distant communities.

Research design and Design-oriented Researchluciapurpura
This document summarizes a presentation about using research design and storytelling techniques to analyze qualitative data from a study of Community Multimedia Centers (CMCs) in Mozambique. The study used photo-elicitation interviews with 101 CMC users and staff to understand their perceptions. The methodology included creating a photo taxonomy, thematic analysis, comparisons between groups, cluster analysis of user and staff types, and developing "Point of View" personas to synthesize the results into narratives. The goal was to move beyond just describing results to more design-oriented outcomes that provide explanatory power and arrive at "usable" insights for improving CMCs.

This document summarizes a study on how sociability and usability shape mediated mobile interaction. The study examined how students at the University of Maryland used iPhones both on and off campus for social networking and classwork. Findings showed that while users were constantly connected via their smartphones, usability issues with apps and keyboards led them to have intermittent rather than constant participation in social media. Their sociability was constrained by usability factors, resulting in awareness of others but circumventing constraints through calibrated intermittent interaction.

This document summarizes a photo-semiotic study of community multimedia centers (CMCs) in Mozambique. 241 semi-structured interviews were conducted and 361 photos were collected from staff and users of CMCs. The photos and interviews showed that most people liked the services provided at the CMCs and interacting with other users. However, the most disliked aspect was poor facilities and broken equipment. The study provided insights into how CMCs are perceived and used by different groups.
Unmasking ICT through visual methodologies in participatory ICT4DSara Vannini
The document discusses three case studies that used visual methodologies in participatory research involving information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D). In the case studies, participatory photography, interviews, and focus groups helped bridge communication gaps between researchers and participants and empowered participants to engage critically with ICT. However, researchers needed to renegotiate their own cultural identities and assumptions about ICT. While visual methods helped participants reflect on ICT, changing practices requires long-term support. The studies intended to facilitate structural changes through ICT design and use, with varying levels of success. Overall, the document argues that visual methodologies provide a starting point for understanding inequalities related to ICT, and critical engagement with ICT must address
Mediated communication refers to communication that occurs through an intervening agent. New media technologies have changed communication by eliminating constraints of scarcity, time, and space. They allow for new communication channels like the world wide web, email, videoconferencing, and mobile phones. These channels share characteristics of being hardware independent, software independent, allowing information sharing, and giving users control over pace and direction.
The document discusses research on why adults share personal information online. It presents five research questions focusing on how perceptions of communication tools and audiences affect self-disclosure. Several theories are discussed that may help explain online self-disclosure, including symbolic interactionism and hyperpersonal communication. A mixed methods study is proposed involving a survey and interviews to explore the relationship between tool intimacy, imagined audiences, and depth of self-disclosure.
Reasons for non-use: a study on Mozambican telecentres,Sara Vannini
This document summarizes a study on reasons for non-use of telecentres in Mozambique according to local stakeholders. Interviews with 57 staff members, 95 users and 77 non-users across 10 telecentres identified key reasons for non-use. These included resource constraints like distance and costs, lack of relevance as skills taught were too basic or difficult, and poor quality of services. A survey of 328 people found the top reasons were lack of time, knowledge of available services, and inability to use computers. Non-users faced greater constraints and relied more on intermediaries. The study concludes communication and promotion of services are underestimated and telecentres need more advanced offerings tailored to disadvantaged users.

This document discusses the use of photo-elicitation in ICT4D (information and communication technologies for development) fieldwork. Photo-elicitation involves using photographs to elicit responses from participants and can foster reflection, provide unexpected perspectives, and empower local communities. It outlines how photo-elicitation was used to understand local perceptions of telecentres and community radio by asking participants to take photos in response to three questions and discussing the photos. While the technique provided rich data and insights, it also has limitations such as potential for overinterpretation and issues with time, place, and power dynamics between researchers and participants.

The document discusses a proposed PhD research project called RE-ACT that will investigate social representations of community multimedia centers (CMCs) in Mozambique. The project aims to identify any misalignments in how different groups conceptualize the CMCs, including between founding organizations and communities/staff. The researcher conducted 241 interviews and collected 361 photos from 10 CMCs. Preliminary analysis found more intra-group than inter-group misalignments. The researcher is considering various content analysis methods and wants feedback on analyzing interviews and photos to further understand representations of these CMCs.

Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI), communities and social media are three different terms. What do they have in common? At first all these terms are very modern and trendy
now. They are very often used not only in technical publications but these words and collocations are also used by the public. It is possible to say that primarily social media could
be described as buzzword (fashion word and vogue word).
This document provides a framework for thinking about collaboration spaces, both online and in-person, to promote social innovation. It outlines the complex landscape including new policies, networks, technology, and roles. The framework focuses on defining goals, engaging relevant people, choosing appropriate methods, and establishing structures to support solutions. Collaboration spaces can enable connecting different domains, developing new skills and attitudes, and blending online and offline work. Networks are increasingly important as they help define contexts and provide structures for action.
In order for the internet to play a greater role as an instrument for social and personal empowerment, we need to understand what the everyday life of an individual belonging to a minority or marginalized community encompasses. Such an approach calls for closer examination of the practices, system of relations and context of particular minority and marginalized users in order to figure out what is meaningful to them and how they use (or do not use) different forms of the internet for meeting their objectives. There is a need to acknowledge the multiple conceptualizations and forms of internet use as disadvantaged users apply these differently for meeting specific agendas.
This article presented three projects working with minority and marginalized users. In the context of future research on internet use, three broad sets of variables are closely connected and require careful attention:
• The type of marginalized group;
• The goals, expectations and identification of what particular marginalized users consider to be meaningful in their everyday life; and
• The selected method of research.

Blocked by YouTube - Unseen digital intermediation for social imaginaries in ...University of Sydney
YouTube is one of the most globally utilised online content sharing sites, enabling new commercial enterprise, education opportunities and facilities for vernacular creativity (Burgess, 2006). Its user engagement demonstrates significant capacity to develop online communities, alongside its arguably more popular use as a distribution platform to monetise one’s branded self (Senft, 2013). However, as a subset of Alphabet Incorporated, its access is often restricted by governments of Asian Pacific countries who disagree with the ideology of the business. Despite this, online communities thrive in these countries, bringing into question the sorts of augmentations used by its participants. This article reframes the discussion beyond restrictive regulation to focus on the DIY approach (augmentation) of community building through the use of hidden infrastructures (algorithms). This comparative study of key YouTube channels in several Asia Pacific countries highlights the sorts of techniques that bypass limiting infrastructures to boost online community engagement and growth. Lastly, this article reframes the significance of digital intermediation to highlight the opportunities key agents contribute to strengthening social imaginaries within the Asia Pacific region.

The Adoption of Social Network Sites for Expressive Participation in Internet...BO TRUE ACTIVITIES SL
The present study is an initial effort to develop a model that explores how uses of ICTs, particularly SNSs, foster expressive forms of participation that result in civic participation. In doing so, we attempt to investigate the acceptance and use of SNSs by members’ e-movements and SMOs and whether these uses turn results in a host of traditional or offline civic participatory behaviours. A theoretical model is proposed and justified, albeit not empirically validated. Thus, representing an opportunity for future research. The ideas extracted from the discussion should be a help for citizens to create social movements on the Internet. In this regard, numerous practical reflections and suggestions are presented.
The machine in the ghost: a socio-technical perspective...Cliff Lampe
This document discusses sociotechnical systems and the challenges of collaboration between researchers studying these systems and practitioners. It defines sociotechnical systems as the interrelation between technological and human systems. It argues that truly understanding these systems requires combining the theories and techniques of multiple fields including social science, computer science, and engaging with practitioners. However, bringing these different groups together is difficult due to differences in culture, goals, and incentives between academics and practitioners. It provides some strategies for encouraging collaboration, such as phenomena-based research, workshops, funding incentives, and mixed academic/practitioner events and project partnerships.
TED Fuller event | digital user-generated content - My tales from the fieldDr Mariann Hardey
Dave collects a list of funny tweets from various Twitter users. The survey presented six scenarios involving what rights people have to save, share, publish, or remove Twitter content they encounter. Respondents took a liberal view of saving tweets but were more cautious about republishing or sharing tweets with others. Their views depended on whether the tweets were their own words or someone else's. The survey investigated attitudes toward social media ownership and what people feel they are able to do with content from others versus what others can do with their own content.
LLL Kolleg: Social Media in TEL research communitybarbarak
This document discusses research into the social media usage of researchers in the field of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). It poses three main research questions: 1) How researchers arrive at and change their social media presence over time, 2) The main purposes and motivations for using social media and how important online reputation is, and 3) Whether social media usage affects personal networks and the fading of hierarchies. It provides context on TEL as a multidisciplinary field and reviews literature on researchers' social media usage, drivers, barriers, and proposed research methods involving both quantitative and qualitative approaches like online ethnography and co-construction of cases.
Netnography is a research method adapted from traditional ethnography for studying online communities. It allows researchers to understand social and cultural phenomena within online contexts. Netnography is naturalistic, immersive, descriptive, adaptable, and uses multiple methods. It provides insights faster and in a less obtrusive way than traditional focus groups or ethnography. Netnography gives marketers a window into phenomena occurring in online environments and communities.
1) The document discusses the concept of sustainable community technology and the symbiotic relationship between community technology and community research.
2) It proposes a human-centered framework for community informatics that focuses on human purpose, cultural diversity, technology as a tool, and social cohesion.
3) Applying this framework involves understanding the interdependent components of community, communication, and technology and ensuring community needs and values guide technology design from the outset.
The document discusses a proposed design for a platform and visualization tool called Eyewitness that aims to help contextualize and synthesize citizen media video content (CMVC) from politically significant events. The design seeks to empower citizens by allowing them to collectively reconstruct historical records of events using CMVC rather than content from state or corporate media, which may propagate certain narratives. The challenges of CMVC like lack of context, large quantities, and varying quality make understanding and interpreting such content difficult. The proposed Eyewitness platform aims to address these challenges through a meta-design framework that facilitates participation and sensemaking of CMVC.
Social Software and Community Information SystemsRalf Klamma
Social Software links social entities on the Internet. With this term we label new communication and collaboration media like wikis, blogs, social bookmarking but also traditional media supporting communities of practice. Scientific and professional communities challenge information systems engineering with high demands on traceable and secured collaboration and processing of scientific data. Flexibility, adaptation, interoperability are only a few requirements to mention.
With the advent of international standards XML-based standards like MPEG-7 for the handling of complex multimedia metadata and service oriented architectures engineers and community facilitators can create more generic services for the many communities with diverse but professional needs. Therefore, communities have to be incorporated in the community information systems engineering process.
In the talk we present a new reflective information system architecture called ATLAS offering self observation mechanisms for the establishment of a community-centered learning and improvement process for social software.
Structure for Collective Learning Organizations Version 5Jaap van Till
The document discusses how traditional hierarchical organizations are no longer effective for dealing with today's complex environments. It suggests nature and evolution provide examples of how living systems solve similar problems through distributed and interconnected structures. Specifically, it notes that organisms like slime molds, bacteria colonies, and the human brain function collectively without centralized control by sharing information through interconnected networks of individual parts. The human brain in particular handles patterns of information rather than raw data, using interconnected areas to process visual information in parallel through techniques like edge detection and movement detection.

Visual Methodologies in Participatory ICT4DSara Vannini
This document discusses the use of visual methodologies in participatory research involving information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D). It analyzes three case studies where visual methods like participatory photography were used. The studies found that visual methods helped bridge communication gaps, empower participants, and enable critical engagement with ICT. However, developing reflexive ICT practices among participants was challenging. Researchers need to support participants and reexamine their own cultural identities and assumptions. Overall, the document argues that critical engagement with ICT through participatory visual methods is important for meaningful ICT4D research.
Privacy and Security guidelines for Humanitarian Work with Undocumented MigrantsSara Vannini
The document provides guidelines for protecting privacy and security in humanitarian work with undocumented migrants. It summarizes findings from interviews with staff members of advocacy groups and education institutions. The interviews revealed that risks involve both technology and human factors. There is a need for clear privacy and data protection guidelines as current standards have gaps and informed consent is insufficient. Relying solely on individuals to manage their own privacy is not enough as vulnerable populations may make ill-informed decisions and lack the ability to opt-out. The guidelines aim to address these issues.
towards a conceptualization of digital sanctuarySara Vannini
This document discusses the information practices of humanitarian organizations serving undocumented populations and proposes a conceptualization of "digital sanctuary." It provides context on global migration trends and outlines current sanctuary models that provide safe spaces for those facing threats like detention. While humanitarian organizations rely on privacy-protecting methods, they lack data privacy training. A digital sanctuary framework is proposed, emphasizing collecting minimal data and relying less on technology. This would better protect vulnerable populations' information while supporting them through exposure and voice.
Mobile phones and other information practices among undocumented migrants at ...Sara Vannini
Undocumented Hispanic migrants to the US primarily rely on word-of-mouth from friends and family to seek and acquire information about migration. Mobile phones are used before and during border crossings but present risks of extortion by criminal groups who obtain contact information. At migrant shelters and border areas, migrants access the internet and social media like Facebook to safely contact family, share photos, and stay connected across borders. However, migrants do not fully trust new technologies like maps and sensors to replace human guides when crossing dangerous border areas. Outreach is needed to better inform migrants of risks while respecting their agency in choosing information sources.
Fotohistorias - Security and Activism: using participatory photography to eli...Sara Vannini
The document describes a research study that used participatory photography to understand the experiences of Hispanic migrants in the US related to authority, security, and activism. The study found three main themes: 1) experiences of detention and deportation, including fear of deportation and family separation; 2) challenges of being undocumented, such as frustration with inability to gain legal status and disempowerment; and 3) experiences with activism and community participation to have their voices heard on issues affecting migrants. The participatory photography approach empowered participants to document their experiences and access information that may otherwise have been difficult to access.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The Demedicalization of Self-Injury: From Psychopathology to Sociological Dev...Sara Vannini
I made these slides up from a video I made for a course in ethnography. They are related to the article Patricia A. Adler and Peter Adler's article The Demedicalization of Self-Injury: From Psychopathology to Sociological Deviance.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
