“Literally, A Game-Changer”: Renegotiating The Aesthetics Of The Real, Moira Mckee
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The affirmation of identity as a leitmotif throughout art history has become increasingly concerned with the conflation of the real and constructed, the material and immaterial, as technological developments engineer the fabric of reality with heightened sophistication. In the age of lifelike, digital avatar influencers such as Lil Miquela, Ai-Da, billed as “the world’s first ultra-realistic robot artist,” algorithms developed to create The Next Rembrandt, and the rise of crypto art and non-fungible tokens (NFT’s), the ambiguity or removal of the hand of the artist prompts questions surrounding identity as a visualization of the data that follows us and is …

The Digital Extreme: Cinema's Reality Crisis In A Nostalgic Age, Lucas J. Dvorsky
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This thesis examines the trajectory and legacy of two streams of filmmaking born in the 1990s: extreme film and the digital film, which eventually fuse into the digital extreme film, a watershed moment of postmodern filmmaking. I analyze the rise of the digital extreme, probing its disturbing aesthetic, its grainy, blurry glitches, dark, mundane reality and connections to fear, surveillance and nostalgia.

The Effects Of A Video-Enhanced Intervention Package On The Science Practices Of Students With Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Kailee Liesemer
The Effects Of A Video-Enhanced Intervention Package On The Science Practices Of Students With Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Kailee Liesemer
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Students with intellectual disabilities (ID) and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) often experience barriers to accessing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) instruction in the general classroom. The current research guiding equitable STEM education for this population lacks scope, primarily targeting vocabulary or content knowledge instead of the cross-curricular application of science practice skills in STEM. Using single-case research designs, the current paper examined the efficacy of an intervention package used to teach science practices in STEM education to students with ID and NDD. A multiple probe across participant design revealed that the intervention package was effective in teaching two students with …
The Experiences Of Virtual Kindergarten Educators In Technology-Enhanced Virtual Classrooms: A Guide To Providing Effective Virtual Teaching, Martin Wolak
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
With the threat of future global pandemics and the possible necessity to mandate schools to transition to temporary online learning, it is imperative to provide kindergarten educators with effective pedagogical practices with the use of technological devices and resources in virtual classrooms. This study examined how kindergarten educators are currently implementing learning through digital screen-based devices in a way that promotes purposeful, meaningful, efficient and effective learning for FDK students virtually. Through qualitative and quantitative analyses examined what are the attitudes and beliefs towards digital screen-based technologies and digital resources by FDK educators, what educators need to know to effectively …
