Imran Ali: Leeds Met: Teaching New Media. I was invited to a workshop on Teaching New Media at my old university, Leeds Met, yesterday morning. Ben asked me to present a fifteen-minute talk on Carbon and what we're doing to help regional startup culture; my presentation is below... I'd come prepared to talk about how industry and academia could collaborate on startup culture in the region, but the group, more interestingly, focussed on the changing nature of knowledge and teaching in a connected world and how participatory culture, open source and Web 2.0 were impacting higher education. We didn't reach any conclusions, but for me, the most striking observation was the externalisation of the trends in question...that Web 2.0 and open source were taking place elsewhere and causing academia to adapt. I found this a little disappointing and hope Leeds Met (and others in attendance) will consider how they can define and lead the patterns and trends that come to define an era.
Multimedia 101: Teaching New Media Skills in Student Residences. Teaching New Media Literacy Can Help Youth Stay Safe Online » Sp. 12.17.09 | It was enough to make Anne Collier cringe. At last month’s Family Online Safety Institute conference in Washington, D.C., this statistic was bandied about: In a recent survey, 65 percent of teachers polled agreed with the idea that predators are out there, lurking in social networking sites to prey on unwitting children.
“What does that do?” Collier, a journalist and the executive director of NetFamilyNews, Inc., asks during a recent phone conversation. “It gives teachers the excuse not to use social networking in classrooms, and that’s a 21st century tool for learning.” Collier should know. She is the co-chair, along with MySpace Chief Security Officer Hemanshu Nigam, of the Online Safety and Technology Working Group, a taskforce formed in the wake of the Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act. The skills that make kids media literate—such as learning to judge the credibility of online claims and content—can go a long way in keeping kids safe. Teaching New Media Marketing at UCLA.

MySpaceTV: Teaching New Media Old Tricks. News Corp. aims to make its new Web-TV venture a stripped-down version of Fox, with three-minute episodes sponsored by the likes of Ford As a Web video, Dirty Soap seemed to have it all: hot babes, a murder mystery, racy double entendres. But the show, a reworking of Soap, the '70s sitcom about a dysfunctional family, had a tad too much attitude for MySpace, which plans to run it later this year.

Bite-Size Budgets. Course Description for EDIT Editorial 405-0: New Media Storytell. Communication 300 > Basic Concepts of New Media > Course > Descr. This course is an introduction to theories and practices of 'new' media.
We will investigate the ways in which information technologies are integrated into society, and how they challenge our inherited ideas about what it means to think, act, create and relate to others through communication technologies. We will discuss what new media are, how they come to be, and how our uses of them challenge us. In many ways, the descriptor 'new' can be both misleading and inadequate. Which media have not at some time or another been *new*? Through readings, lectures, and class discussions we will explore the definition of new media, the impacts new media have on communication, and technical and analytical skills required to navigate and consume new media. Students will leave this course having learned and applied several critical analytical perspectives, questioned the ways technology has affected society, and gained an understanding of how to be savvy consumers of media.
