Overview of Open Educational Resource (OER) projects from De Montfort University, Leicester, UK. VAL and SCOOTER.
Velocity is the news and mobile is the
Mobile devices are becoming the new frontier for delivering news and a tool for mobile reporting. Smartphones allow people to easily access news on the go and could create new business models for newspapers. Twitter is also becoming an important news source for live reporting and fast breaking stories, though issues of credibility still exist. Journalism is moving from institution-based reporting to a more networked model across both new and old media platforms.
The 3 Mobile PPC Search Metrics That Matter
Larry Kim presented on important metrics for paid search on mobile. The three metrics that matter most are click-through rate (CTR), cost-per-click (CPC), and impression share. CTR drops off 50% faster on mobile than desktop. Mobile CPCs have risen 150% since 2012 compared to 50% for desktop. It is also more difficult to get mobile impressions than desktop, with few accounts receiving ads below position 4. To improve performance, marketers should optimize ads, calls-to-action and landing pages for mobile and consider raising mobile bids despite higher costs.

The New Age of Digital Marketing
Today’s marketers are working feverishly to capitalize on the potential of highly insightful, yet unstructured, information being generated online. This coupled with the demands of real-time, rules-driven, audience-centered marketing represents a fundamental paradigm shift in how marketing is done. While the term “big data” may be fairly new, the concept is familiar to data-driven marketers who for years have been trying to run complex analytics across a deluge of structured and unstructured data flowing in from point-of-sale systems, web sites, social media, email campaigns, newsletters and many other online and offline sources.
A new study produced by strategic consulting firm Winterberry Group in conjunction with the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and sponsored by IBM, reveals top investment priorities, high impact data use cases and barriers to adoption pertaining to big data in marketing and digital media.
During this one hour webinar, we will present some of the key findings from our study which had contributions from over 175 advertising and marketing thought leaders. You will learn about the high priority use cases for today’s digital marketers, the underlying big data challenges and how some of the leaders are gearing up to address them with specific solutions.

Data Mining Online Audiences with D8A Group
Using a combination of the data-analysis products available from D8A Group, we’ve been monitoring the unfolding events in real-time to illustrate the ways our technology platforms can be used by companies, PR firms, marketing agencies, political groups, celebrities, and NGOs to make data informed decisions in real-time crisis scenarios.
In this case study document, we analyze breaking news scenarios involving Chris Christie's Brigegate scandal, Kerry Washington's appearance at the Golden Globes, and the Knight Foundation who we weren't aware had any news events at the time, but we quickly became aware of two through the use of our software.
The primary purpose of using technologies like the D8A suite of analytic products is to monitor and capture real-time data for analysis and research. They are also predictive, helping to surface trends, patterns, and happenings before one might find out about them otherwise. D8A’s products work across multiple communication channels.
Data Science Innovations
This document discusses data science innovations and systems of insight. It provides examples of new data sources like social media language and drone/mobile sensor data that can generate novel insights. Systems of insight use machine learning and natural language generation to automatically analyze data, detect patterns, and present findings and narratives to users without extensive data preparation. This approach reduces the time spent on data wrangling and moves organizations from crisis-level talent shortages to faster decision making. The document advocates starting to use innovative data sources and systems of insight to generate customer insights, optimize processes, and gain a competitive advantage.

1) Journalists are increasingly expected to analyze data to uncover stories and trends, rather than just report on isolated events.
2) Open data from sources like governments and communities can be used with tools like Excel, Google Fusion Tables, and Tableau to clean, visualize, and analyze information.
3) Effective data stories connect different types of data to provide context and insight into issues, rather than just describing events. Personalizing stories for readers can also make data journalism more engaging.

This document outlines a training course on working with Wordpress and digital journalism. It discusses how the digital revolution has changed journalism by allowing anyone to publish news through blogging software and social media. The training will cover setting up blogs, writing blog posts, embedding multimedia like photos and videos, and using social media like Twitter and Facebook to expand an audience. Later sessions will focus on finding and editing photos for blogs and using polls in Wordpress. Mobile phones are also presented as tools for reporting through apps that allow uploading content directly.
Velocity is the news and mobile is the
Mobile devices are becoming the new frontier for delivering news and a tool for mobile reporting. Smartphones allow people to easily access news on the go and could create new business models for newspapers. Twitter is also becoming an important news source for live reporting and fast breaking stories, though issues of credibility still exist. Journalism is moving from institution-based reporting to a more networked model across both new and old media platforms.

1. The document discusses how digitalization and social media have revolutionized journalism and society through more decentralized communication and network-based organizations.
2. Journalists now act as moderators rather than gatekeepers, and involve the public through citizen reporting. Organizations have shifted from vertical hierarchies to horizontal networks using new social media tools.
3. The document provides examples of how modern political campaigns effectively use these new communication models and tools, and assigns analyzing characteristics of Obama's campaign and comparing to campaigns in Indonesia.

The document discusses the future of online newspapers and digital storytelling. It covers tools for real-time reporting using mobile devices and social media. It also addresses integrating different media like text, audio, video and photos across multiple platforms. Citizen reporting and moderation are mentioned as ways to involve the public through commenting and discussion.
Twitter As Newssource
1) The document analyzes tweets related to three plane crash incidents to understand how Twitter functions as a news source in fast-breaking situations.
2) It finds that for a crash at Schiphol Airport, over half the tweets in the first three hours were news and came from citizen reporters, making Twitter the primary source of information for mainstream media.
3) In contrast, crashes in Ryanair and American Airlines saw fewer eyewitness reports and more tweets simply referring to or retweeting other sources, indicating Twitter played more of an awareness role than primary news source.
