Learn X Design Conference Series

This work intends to deepen the discussion on Design Partnership. To build this argument we propose a reflection that will be introduced by a bibliographic revision followed by a presentation of different Design concepts. In a second moment, we examine the concept of Design Partnership, and analyze how it occurred in the undergraduated Design programme. The Design Partnership experience is a model of teaching, used in the project disciplines also offered in the first year of the course, the student, a future designer, have to work with a partner in a defined context, and to work with a real problem. …

An Analysis Of The Marketing Tactics Used To Influence Millennial Generation Students In Their Decision To Attend A Two-Year Or A Four-Year College, Andrea Stanton

Theses and Dissertations

This study will attempt to evaluate the effectiveness of college recruitment marketing tactics used to influence Millennial Generation students, ages 17 to 22 years old, in their decision to attend either a two-year or a four-year college. Changing demographics and projections indicate a decline in the number of high school graduates within the next three to five years. This shift translates into fewer college applications and more competition among institutions of higher learning making it easier for most students to get accepted into college. The researcher will use focus groups and a survey to examine the perception of community colleges …

The Urgency Of Visual Media Literacy In Our Post-9/11 World: Reading Images Of Muslim Women In The Print News Media, Diane Watt

Journal of Media Literacy Education

A decade after the 9/11 attacks, educators concerned with social justice issues are faced with the question of how media representations powerfully constitute the subjectivities of teachers and students. The roles of Muslim women in society are often narrowly construed and projected via media cultures – an unofficial curriculum of the everyday much more influential than the formal curriculum on offer in our schools. Given that much of what we “know” about Muslims we learn from the mass media, it seems urgent that as educators we become more attuned to how they are being portrayed and how such depictions are …

Reflections On Global Developments In Media Literacy Education: Bridging Theory And Practice, Gianna Cappello, Damiano Felini, Renee Hobbs

Journal of Media Literacy Education

The field of media literacy education is maturing, as evidenced by the quality of presentations of research and practice shared at the 2010 World Summit on Children and Media in Karlstad. In this article, we offer our reflections on the opportunities and challenges faced by media literacy educators as we build our global community network, develop a shared theoretical framework that transcends culture and nationality, and return to consider foundational questions about the relationship between power and agency as new visions of digital literacy emerge as educators and creative media professionals explore the new capacities and limitations of the Internet …

The Past, Present, And Future Of Media Literacy Education, Renee Hobbs, Amy Jensen

Journal of Media Literacy Education

Media literacy education in the United States is actively focused on the instructional methods and pedagogy of media literacy, integrating theoretical and critical frameworks rising from constructivist learning theory, media studies and cultural studies scholarship. This work has arisen from a legacy of media and technology use in education throughout the 20th century and the emergence of cross-disciplinary work at the intersections of scholarly work in media studies and education. Reflecting the emergence of a common ground for the field, the Core Principles of Media Literacy Education in the United States was created by a team of scholars and practitioners …

Application Of Neural Network And Its Extension Of Derivative To Problems Of Visual Realism On Web Pages, Lan-Ting Wang, Chang-Franw Lee

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

This study utilizes information sciences (i.e., neural networks and extensions) to reduce the burden for investigation of social sciences. Without loss of generality, the visual realism of pictures is utilized as the example to illustrate the proposed research flow chart. Pictures of web pages are important media for conveying meanings of information systems. Visual realism of pictures means the degree of similarity between pictures and real objects, and is an important topic in designing contents of information systems. In this paper, the neural network and its extension of derivative are applied to participants’ preference for visual realism on web pages. …

Binaural Spatialization For 3d Immersive Audio Communication In A Virtual World, Davide Andrea Mauro, Rufael Mekuria, Michele Sanna

Computer Sciences and Electrical Engineering Faculty Research

Realistic 3D audio can greatly enhance the sense of presence in

a virtual environment. We introduce a framework for capturing,

transmitting and rendering of 3D audio in presence of other

bandwidth savvy streams in a 3D Tele-immersion based virtual

environment. This framework presents an efficient implementation

for 3D Binaural Spatialization based on the positions of current

objects in the scene, including animated avatars and on the fly

reconstructed humans. We present a general overview of the

framework, how audio is integrated in the system and how it can

exploit the positions of the objects and room geometry to render

realistic …

Pendekatan Estetika Pada Desain Pesan Multimedia Pembelajaran, Moeljadi Pranata

Bahasa dan Seni: Jurnal Bahasa, Sastra, Seni, dan Pengajarannya

The development of multimedia design is influenced by various theories, such as visual aesthetic principles. Aesthetic principles are used to guide the design process and play a role in increasing the attractiveness of messages. However, along with advances in computer graphics, the application of graphic design aesthetics in multimedia learning has led to the concept of multimedia performance that is entertaining and aesthetically oriented. In addition, this technological development, together with multimedia technology, has expanded the professional scope of multimedia learning design beyond the field of education to include professions such as graphic design.

Relating Creativity, Fantasy, Invention And Imagination: Studying Collective Models Of Creative Collaboration From Kindergarten To University Degrees, Raffaella Perrone

Learn X Design Conference Series

In recent years, cognitive psychology has supplied interesting analytical frameworks for the processes involved in the construction of knowledge at all levels of education, from kindergarten to college. In design teaching and for many decades theories have been proposed about design projects "methods" and "methodologies". However, only in recent years theoretical approaches to "creativity" and the creative process have been proposed and have started to be implemented in academic curricula, or as working methods (cocreation). Creativity, thus, has become an area of "focus" of research, with important implications on the design discipline. However, creativity, invention, imagination and fantasy simultaneously interact …

Visualising Ideas: A Camera Is Not Enough, Liv Merete Nielsen

Learn X Design Conference Series

When photography was widely introduced as a tool for documentation, the art of mimetic drawing was challenged as a main activity in art education. This raised the question: Why bother with mimetic drawing in art classes when any object, person or event can be documented with a camera? The question of mimesis in painting and drawing existed long before the introduction of cameras, and it raised philosophical questions in relation to the ideals of pictorial representations. This paper problematises some issues that have constructed a counterproductive contradiction when it comes to training mimetic drawing in general art and design education. …

Design Learning For Tomorrow – Design Education From Kindergarten To Phd, Liv Merete Nielsen

Learn X Design Conference Series

The 2nd international conference for design education researchers in Oslo May 14– 17, 2013 on the theme of ‘Design learning for tomorrow – Design education from Kindergarten to PhD’ received an overwhelming response. This is gratifying for us, the organisers, as we see design in a broad interdisciplinary perspective in support for a better tomorrow. For years we have promoted the idea that sustainable design solutions should include more than ‘professional’ designers; they should also include a general public as ‘conscious’ consumers and decision makers with responsibility for quality and longevity, as opposed to a “throw-away” society.
