▼ Abstract of Defamiliarizing the Cart: Art as
Interventionist Practice in the Age of Cyberdelic Consumerism, by
Martim S. Galvão, Degree A.M., Brown University, May 2017. This
paper is a collection of research and practice related to artistic
interventions in capitalist society, with a focus on current modes
of
digital consumerism their relationship to altered states of
mind. The project traces the history of the advertising industry
and its ties to the production and distribution of cultural
media.
The development of new mediums such as radio, TV, and the internet
throughout the 20th century guides a conversation about the
restructuring of time through technology, specifically how it has
become compartmentalized into ever finer slices. The paper then
delves into the 1990s, during which time the introduction of the
internet created an attention economy by disrupting the time-based
scheduling of mass
media advertising. Faced with an ever-present
now, advertisers developed new tools for reaching temporally
destabilized consumers. The rise of social
media made it easier to
track and model consumer behavior, with platforms like Facebook,
YouTube and Twitter further disturbing the notion of privacy by
creating walled-off web environments where data collection is
mandatory. Algorithms are then used to convert this data into a
multitude of virtual selves, each modeling our behavior for some
specific purpose. In the second part of the paper, a parallel
history of artistic resistance to the commodification of culture
weaves its way through the photomontages of John Heartfield in the
1930s, to Guy Debord and the Situationist International movement in
the 1950s and 1960, to the culture jamming movement of the 1980s
and 1990s, and finally to the current landscape of interventionist
artists engaging with virtual spaces, hidden structures of power,
and the pervasive
digital consumerism of the 21st century. The
complex relationship between critique and financial survival in
capitalist society is also addressed. Finally, the paper closes
with an overview of my own work as it relates to this lineage of
experimental artmaking and cultural critique. Three recent pieces,
including my thesis project AD2CART (2017), are discussed in terms
of compositional process, theatrical and performative
considerations, critical discourse, and the role of technology in
my work. A short conclusion calls for new methods for artistic
intervention and the defamiliarization of our interactions with
giant corporate platforms.

▼ The research reflected here examined in depth how one cohort of learners viewed and engaged
in literature searches using web browser based resources. Action research was employed using a
mixed methods approach. The research started with a survey followed by interviews and a
screencast examining practice based on a series of search related exercises. These were
analysed and used as data to establish what deficits in using the web to search for literature
existed in the target group. Based on the analysis of these instruments, the problem was
redefined and a workshop intended to help remediate deficiencies uncovered was run.
Based on this a recommendation is made that a credit bearing course teaching
digital research
literacy be made available which would include information literacy as a component.

▼ The goal of this research was to conduct a usability study on
Digital Innovation’s
(DISA) South African Music Archive Project (SAMAP) website. In order to achieve
this goal, it was very important to first (1) understand more fully the expectations of
potential users and then (2) to identify any mismatches between the proposed Dublin
Core system and users’ search techniques. Many researchers have pointed out that
a system that is not easy to use, does not match user requirements, and ignores
usability studies is likely to fail (Pearrow, 2000; del Galdo & Nielsen, 1996;
Shneiderman & Plaisant, 2005; Kuniavsky, 2003).
This study was conducted at the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s Howard College
Campus in Durban, South Africa. A qualitative research method was chosen for this
study within an eclectic-mixed methods-pragmatic paradigm which favours multiple
data collection research instruments to collect data. Data collected was mostly of a
qualitative nature and has been interrogated using NVivo™. The patterns that
emerged out of this study will establish a better understanding of multi-disciplinary
online music archives and website designs. A discussion of the findings and
recommendations are presented in the final chapter of this dissertation, but
essentially the study demonstrates the need to more fully understand user
requirements before development takes place.

▼ Patient empowerment evolved as a strategy to address multi-faceted healthcare management issues. Studies over the past decades have provided different patient empowerment frameworks, but even with the emergent frameworks, there is no marked desired result. To date there has been no reliable patient empowerment. This thesis is driven by the ambition to enable greater patient empowerment in our global healthcare services. The methodological approach adopted was a mixed methodology approach based on taxonomical analysis, questionnaire study and focus group discussions. To better understand a patient empowered system, this work explored empowerment, patient empowerment and the role of technology. The thesis built through critical analysis on the knowledge of existing patient empowerment frameworks coupled with technology practice to develop an improved patient empowered system. Through review of existing frameworks and articulation of patients' demands, weaknesses in current structures to support empowerment are determined. This thesis provides a platform for articulating an improved patient empowerment model, which considered systems theory ideas such as holism and iteration. Further research would propose implementing a trail of this model in practice and exploring with a wider range of stakeholders its potential for integration in the NHS or other health service organisations.

▼ How does it feel when we remember together on-line? Who gets to say what it is worth to be remembered? To understand how the user experience of participation is affecting the formation of collective memories in the context of online environments, first it is important to take into consideration how the notion of memory has been transformed under the influence of the digital revolution. I aim to contribute to the field of User Experience (UX) research theorizing on the felt experience of users from a memory perspective, taking into consideration aspects linked to both personal and collective memories in the context of connected environments. Harassment and hate speech in connected conversational environments are specially targeted to women and underprivileged communities, which has become a problem for digital archives of vernacular creativity (Burgess, J. E. 2007) such as YouTube, Twitter, Reddit and Wikipedia. An evaluation of the user experience of underprivileged communities in creative archives such as Wikipedia indicates the urgency for building a feminist space where women and queer folks can focus on knowledge production and learning without being harassed. The theoretical models and designs that I propose are a result of a series of prototype testing and case studies focused on cognitive tools for a mediated human memory operating inside transactive memory systems. With them, aims to imagine the means by which feminist protocols for UX design and research can assist in the building and maintenance of the archive as a safe/brave space. Working with perspectives from media theory, memory theory and gender studies and centering the user experience of participation for women, queer folks, people of colour (POC) and other vulnerable and underrepresented communities as the main focus of inquiring, my research takes an interdisciplinary approach to interrogate how online misogyny and other forms of abuse are perceived by communities placed outside the center of the hegemonic normativity, and how the user experience of online abuse is affecting the formation of collective memories in the context of online environments.

▼ This is a PhD by practice that explores how people’s experiences of digital systems can be made physically and visually apparent using models and activities I have designed. The theoretical context for this PhD centres on internal and external models of people’s experiences with digital systems. This is an AHRC funded PhD written as part of the Creative Exchange, which supports collaborative research projects conducted with industry and academic partners.
My primary research question focuses on the design characteristics of visual and physical models that externalise individual and group experiences of digital systems. Secondary questions include: What effects do the material properties of externalising models have on how digital systems are represented? and What types of activities externalise representations of digital systems? These questions are explored through case studies that focus on a set of digital systems identified through the research including web browsing, digital social networks, and image metadata. The first two case studies are exploratory, the third is applied.

▼ The role of marketing in museums has been discussed in literature for the last 25 years as a business support department, working independently of other museum employees. The introduction of social
media has enabled museums to market their institution at reduced monetary rates, as well as educate and connect with the public. Social
media messaging produced by museums varies across the field; from promotional to a focus on relationship-building, messaging depends on how the organization is structured. This thesis studies the ways in which organizational structure affects social
media messaging in relation to social inclusion and community building. ( en )

▼ Much work has been done over the past two decades exploring and creating many collaborative, cross-sector environments between arts, computer sciences and research that have supported the production of art, including: new media labs; co- working spaces; media focused gallery spaces; electronic art festivals; and the Internet itself. Less research has been done into the possibilities that exist in collaborations between the arts and commercial digital industries. The combination of two distinct and powerful hierarchical systems has forced a revision of current working practice within each field. This research interrogates the impact of collaborations between the arts and commercial digital industries, and identifies the impact of those collaborations upon curatorial and artistic modes of practice, with a particular focus on production. It identifies some of the inherent value systems, and describes a range of collaborative modes of artistic production that sit along a spectrum of power balances between the arts and commercial digital industry sectors, from Brand Marketing to Artist Practice as Business. The areas of difference in roles and working practices identified through both case studies and curatorial projects include factors such as: Value and Money, Time and Capacity, Crediting and Intellectual Property, and Roles and Working Practices. The curatorial projects include Dear Angel a commission of participatory art which uses both digital and other media, a NESTA Digital R&D for the Arts proposal, and for Thinking Digital Arts, a commission of an artwork by an artist/creative technologist partnership, and a digital (art) hack production workshop. How the curatorial role works in the interface between the arts and commercial digital industries is analysed. The patterns of difference and the power balances identified in the research aim to be useful to other practitioners.

▼ "What is cinema? The emergent digital era poses this question in a new and interesting way because for the first time in the history of film theory the photographic processes is challenged as the basis of cinematic representation. If the discipline of cinema studies is anchored to a specific material object a real conundrum emerges with the arrival of digital technologies as a dominant aesthetic and social force" (D.N. Rodowick 2007: 9). Over the past twenty-five years or more there has been a paradigm shift occurring in the manner in which moving images are conceived, acquired, produced, disseminated and consumed. This transformation of the modus operandi of production can be attributed to the overwhelming expansion and rapid advance of digital technologies. Through both critical reflection and creative practice this thesis will explore the extent to which there might be a discontinuity between analogue and digital cinematography; whether cinema itself and the basis of photographic representation have been changed, as Rodowick infers. It will draw on debates of realism, the index, and of the medium in relation to the seminal theories of new media. The thesis will introduce the term Digital Fluidity. This is the central concept that has emerged out of my research that describes how technologies utilised in production and post-production function together to enable a fluid process or mode of filmmaking, based on a logic of hybridity and technological convergence. Digital Fluidity engages with two key arguments in new media theory, namely that of ‘re-mediation’ (Bolter and Grusin, 2000), and the ‘computerisation of culture’ (Manovich, 2001). The thesis comprises of a 30 000 word dissertation and a portfolio of practical work of three films. Firstly there are two documentary shorts Grasp the Words Which Sing (2010), and Picnic Pilgrimage (2012), which deal with themes such as the perception of art in the case of the former and the mobility of both the camera and the subject in the latter. In the documentary productions the reflective focus is concentrated on the digital camera as capture device, re-appropriation of technology, and continuity with analogue production techniques. The films are produced on a modified DSLR camera with 35mm lenses and demonstrate a progression in visual style from a static camera in the case of the first film to a necessarily more mobile camera in the second and third. A longer dramatic production Not For Human Consumption (2013) is a tragic love story that explores the emotive social issue of legal high substance misuse. This film uses improvisation and experimental camera systems as well as some conventions that hold their lineage in the silent era, such as the long take and frontal framing. Here the theoretical analysis explores the integration of analogue and digital techniques and equipment by looking at the processes involved and relating these practices with the concept of Digital Fluidity. The improvised narrative was created as the film was in production – a choice that was…

▼ Migrant communities copiously use digital means to communicate. The visual component of communication is substantial in this process. This thesis reports the ways Spanish‐Irish families living in Ireland employ photographic exchanges to stay in touch with geographically distant family members. Drawing on methods of visual sociology and narrative inquiry, an innovative research design was devised for ethnographic work with eleven families. It included an original three‐stepped consent process, a circle of reference visualization and a photographic tour of photographic displays. These methods enable the elicitation of tacit and intersubjective knowledge about photographic practices. The data demonstrates that photographic exchanges generate third places of affect and intimacy where transnational families negotiate normative notions of kinship. The analysis of affordances of digital photography has revealed how strategies of inclusion and exclusion implemented by these families impact the very concept of family. Furthermore, the notion of digital ephemerality is challenged because intermittent but ongoing digital encounters generate ontological security for transnational families. This also serves to offer an alternative reading of phatic communication as an emotion‐based process. Subsequently, the thesis argues that digital photography is as a medium of (inter)action and experience for transnational families.

▼ Childhood obesity has become an epidemic in developed nations and prevention in the form of education is one possible solution. My proposed thesis will combine traditional storytelling methods and constructivist educational theory with a digital, interactive animation. Through the interactive animation, a student is able to guide the central character through a story by making decisions at key points. Upon completion, an instructor leads a classroom discussion encouraging students to reflect and expand upon the decisions they have made.

▼ Situating itself as a critical amendment to an emerging viewpoint in
media studies, that of
digital materialism, this thesis seeks to address a lack of attention to the important role the screen as a display device plays in the material manifestation of
digital phenomena. This role is postulated as a paradox, where on the one side the screen facilitates
digital materialism, and limits that same
digital materialism on the other. Each of this paradox’ legs are then examined in separate chapters, to gain a better understanding of the screen’s location in a modern mediascape. This understanding is necessary as the screen is the predominant medium for the
digital to gain materiality. In order to further develop
digital materialism as a theoretical viewpoint, then, the part the screen plays must be understood.

▼ Although making
digital media involves movements of bodies, materials, and, often, mobile technologies, most literacy research on adolescents’ experiences with
digital media relies on screened and sedentary perspectives rooted in representation and multimodality—perspectives that elide or distort the role of embodiment. This dissertation critiques the overemphasis on screens, texts, and representation in literacy studies across three empirical papers. Each paper addresses unique questions around literacy as an affective experience of human bodies through ethnographic and micro-ethnographic investigations in (1) a public school, (2) a southeastern community, and (3) a children’s hospital school. Paper 1 illustrates how adolescents’ physical mobilities and affective histories connect to their agency and development as producers of
digital texts in urban schools. Paper 2 describes how the feeling of meaning-making with
digital devices involves historically, culturally, and affectively developed sensibilities that emerge as bodies make sense of people, places and things as semiotic material. Paper 3 builds a theory of literacy moments, or the feeling of being in something while engaged in social, textual production. In its attempts at coming to know affective dimensions of social life, this dissertation also develops tension around what it means to “know” and warrant claims about moving, feeling bodies other than our own.

▼ Art therapists have used traditional art making techniques for decades to elicit information from the unconscious. Digital art making is still in its infancy and being discussed as an artistic media to be included as a relevant art making technique. Not much has be written on the inclusion of digital art making in the therapeutic process and less have included research. This study sought to explore the experiences of art therapists that have used digital art making techniques with clients.Qualitative interviews were conducted with four currently practicing art therapists from Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Texas. These interviews consisted of two sections; the demographic section consisted of questions about the participant’s training with technology while the second section included questions about the participant’s experiences with technology and the use of technology in the therapeutic setting.The major findings of the interviews were that there are art therapists utilizing digital art making with clients and that these art therapists are combining traditional art making with digital art making techniques. Other themes were found to be that digital art making supports the defenses of doing and undoing and deconstruction and reconstruction were also discussed as part of the defense of doing and undoing. Because deconstruction and reconstruction allows the client to take an image apart and then rebuild it to his or her liking this was included with doing and undoing. This defense can provide him or her a sense of control and empowerment in a situation that the client may not have previously and allows for development of problem solving strategies. Populations that were discussed as benefitting from the use of digital media were children and adolescents, those that have suffered trauma, and those with behavioral or physical issues. Children and adolescents tend to have a greater understanding of how technology works and are able to manipulate it more naturally, while those that have suffered trauma would benefit more from the media’s supportive traits. Those clients that have behavioral issues may benefit from the structure that digital art making provides along with those with physical limitations are able to adapt and interact with digital media in many different ways.

▼ The aim of the study was to evaluate an online tutorial designed to teach digitization and metadata indexing of library and archival resources. The online tutorial was designed according to constructivist teaching principles to promote collaborative learning. The tutorial was hosted on the OLS (Open learning System) of the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN). The research was concerned with answering three research questions: Is the online tutorial a teaching instrument capable of teaching metadata indexing and digitization skills? Is the online tutorial an effective teaching tool? Does the use of constructivist teaching elements in the tutorial design allow for a more effective communication of knowledge and skills? A total of 10 participants registered for and took part in the online tutorial. On completion of the tutorial a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the tutorial was done. In terms of the latter a self-administered questionnaire was used as the data collection technique. The qualitative evaluation was done via an analysis of discussions on the discussion forum and e-mail correspondence between learners and the researcher during the running of the tutorial. A more quantitative analysis was then conducted of the responses to the self-administered questionnaire. The qualitative and quantitative analysis identified significant issues that affected the running of the online tutorial. The main issues included problems relating to Internet access to the online tutorial, participation of learners on the tutorial and the functioning of the online learning environment. The analysis of the results of the evaluation provided answers for the three research questions. The analysis found that the online tutorial was able to teach metadata indexing and digitization skills. This was based on completed work that was submitted by participants and responses participants gave to questions on the postcourse questionnaire. However, the amount of work submitted by all participants for the metadata indexing and digitization exercises was generally low. The online tutorial was able to conduct effective teaching at certain times in the tutorial. However, there were a number of issues that disrupted the functioning of the online tutorial and this limited the effectiveness of teaching on the tutorial. The use of constructivist teaching elements in the tutorial design was unable to enable effective communication of knowledge and skills and the promotion of constructivist learning on the tutorial. This goal was hampered by various problems associated with the hosting of the online tutorial and Internet connectivity to the OLS site. Various suggestions for further research were made.

▼ This study explores the use of electronic information services (EIS) by students at the
Howard College (HC) campus of the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) in the
faculties of Engineering and the Humanities, Development and Social Sciences
(HDSS). The objectives were to establish usage among students; identify
determinants of usage and to make recommendations. To achieve these objectives,
the study concentrated on answering these research questions:
• Do UKZN students use library e-resources?
• Which e-resources are UKZN students using?
• Where do UKZN students access library e-resources?
• Why do UKZN students use library e-resources?
• What characterises non-users of library e-resources?
• What barriers exist to the use of electronic information services (EIS)?
A review of the literature identified a mix of quantitative, qualitative and combined
methods used to investigate EIS usage. In various research studies, the variables
considered to be determinants of use included age, status, discipline of study,
subject content, computer proficiency, ease of use, availability and print formats in
academic environments. The barriers experienced when using EIS formats, the
adoption of technology and the usability characteristics of EIS were also important
aspects evident in the literature.
The methodology adopted was based on a pragmatic philosophical approach and
sought to establish baseline data. A quantitative research design was used which set
out to achieve the research objectives through data collection on two fronts. Firstly,
the overall usage environment at UKZN was established by reviewing vendor usage
statistics. The COUNTER compliant statistics for selected databases and e-journals
were collected and analysed. As COUNTER statistics were not available for e-books,
the statistics available from the vendors were used. Secondly, a stratified, random
sample of students on the HC campus was surveyed by means of an online
questionnaire. A response rate of 22.5% was achieved. Data collected established
the characteristics of users; whether they made use of e-books, e-journals and
databases; where they used them and how often; why they made use of them; and
what barriers and problems they experienced when using them. Data from non-users
was also solicited. Data is presented in graphs and frequency tables. The Chi-square
test was applied to establish significant associations between variables and these
results are produced in contingency tables.
The findings established that EIS are used by students and usage fluctuates during
the course of the academic year with peaks occurring in each semester and low
points during the vacation periods. e-Journals and databases are used more than ebooks,
while postgraduate students use EIS most. Non-users made up almost a third
iv
of the sample; while habitual, frequent and infrequent users were reflected in almost
equal numbers among those who use EIS. Age, gender or discipline of study were
not in evidence as determinants of use. Students…

▼ This thesis reports on a usability study conducted on the Virtual Learning Spaces (VLS) computerbased educational adventure game. The aim of the game is to improve the acquisition of knowledge through play in an interactive, entertaining and intrinsically motivating computer-based environment. The objective of this study centred on assessing the quality of the VLS game user interface, and determining faults and problems that may hinder implementation Literature on usability of virtual reality educational game systems and related phenomenon of usability of other types of computer application systems was reviewed, including, to a lesser extent, literature on usability of web pages. The major issues of interest included, usability issues concerning principles of good user interface design, factors that influence how a user interface promotes user satisfaction and the objectives of playing the game, from player, game and the game as medium of learning perspectives. These principles provided a set of usability requirements for the VLS game user interface on which the evaluation was based. A series of data collection methods comprising a cognitive walk through, heuristic evaluation, usability testing and post-test questionnaire, were used in this study. Despite some usability problems, results indicate that the VLS user interface design conformed, extensively, to the principles of good user interface design in appearance, interaction and user help. It was also found to be engaging, comprehensible and unbiased (in terms of gender and variable computer skills).

▼ This dissertation proposes a model supporting the creation of trustable privacies in public online spaces, with the model demonstrating the potential for supporting trustable data handling in the qualitative domain. Privacy and trust, from the pivotal
perspective of the individual were identified as crucial intangibles in the qualitative
research and personal trust domains. That both privacy and trust depend heavily upon
credible mechanisms for privacy became clear during the literature review and
interview processes.
Privacy, in its many forms, is a concept requiring greatly varying degrees of
anonymity, confidentiality and control (Rotenberg, 2001; Lessig, 1998) and this was
position was validated by literature and by qualitative comments by academic
interviewees.
Facilitation of secondary users including academics, public and private organisations,
communities, casual information browsers is a goal of this research. This goal of
facilitation is supported by the model proposed, and is discussed in Chapter 6, where
future work is discussed. The core requirement to address confidentiality, ethics,
privacy, ownership and control of data (Corti, 2000) is satisfied by the model as
proposed and discussed.
Expected outcomes of this research project are summarised as:
• Proposed model for the creation of trustable privacies in public spaces.
[Primary outcome]
• Promotion of collaboration amongst domains and disciplines through
improved universal access to archived data [Secondary outcome]
• Identification of application domains outside of the initially identified domain
set [Secondary outcome].
Self-Contained ReposItory ProcesSIng Template (SCRIPSIT) describes a model
supporting a decentralised, trustable set of structures and mechanisms. SCRIPSIT has
its eponymous origin in the Latin word scripsit, meaning "he or she wrote".

▼ This study is positioned within a specific South African context where many learners not only lack access to resources but are considered underprepared and therefore are seen as academically disadvantaged. Research findings presented here centre on learning theories within the social constructivist paradigm, make use of a developmental research methodology and use a number of different research instruments. The main objective of this study was to investigate the use of virtual learning environments, constructed as educational adventure games, as viable learning tools and to determine the influence of game play on skill development and overcoming learning difficulties. More specifically two educational games, Zadarh and ãKhozi developed at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, were used to investigate the use of technology in classrooms that included underprepared and academically disadvantaged learners. Zadarh was designed to challenge learner misconceptions related to photosynthesis and photorespiration and was used to investigate and evaluate the effectiveness of games to overcome these misconceptions. ãKhozi was used to introduce learners to issues related to HIV/Aids and to evaluate the use of such tools to develop skills. However, It was first necessary to develop an instrument, based on the Persona Outlining Model (POM), to evaluate and measure skills. The POM uses a number of interfaces (literacy, communication and visualization skills) and properties (age, gender and socio-economic background) to describe a typical learner, or game player. The instrument based on these interfaces and properties was used to evaluate the skills of young South Africans from Buhlebemfundo, Qhakaza and Tholokuhle schools and two universities, namely, University of Zululand [UniZulu] and University of KwaZulu-Natal [UKZN]), all from the region of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. The majority of the sampled learners appear to lack appropriate visualisation, logical, mathematical, reading and writing skills and results suggest that poor performance may be associated with a low household income and poor English language skills. While participants (Buhlebemfundo, Qhakaza and Tholokuhle schools, and UniZulu and UKZN university students) who played Zadarh individually solved game problems, they still held many of the misconceptions. Further investigation revealed that when participants were unable to solve a problem they learnt by rote the solution to the problem. Playing Zadarh in groups and allowing participants to ask for clarification of assessment instrument questions showed that many participants developed a deeper understanding on the relationships between photosynthesis and respiration. Participants from Qhakaza were asked to play ãKhozi in flexible groups whichchanged from session to session. Using the previously developed skills assessment instrument showed improve visual, literacy and communication skills. Results strongly suggest that only through dialogue can misconceptions be overcome and that learning is a social activity as…

▼ This ethnographic study describes the
digital media ecologies of hip-hop artists in the marginalised township spaces of a town in South Africa. It shows how technology appropriation here is highly contextual and linked to social context, while simultaneously informed by limited
digital infrastructure that characterises marginalised communities in the Global South. In describing their social context, the study situates these young people in a post-apartheid space of entrenched racialised inequality, where unemployed black youth have very few economic prospects. Here hip-hop offers protection against despair as it allows a young person to claim a dignified sense of self, which is partly constituted through
digital media competency. Through the Black Consciousness philosophy, hip-hop artists in Grahamstown become highly critical of self-defeating narratives rooted in racism, colonialism and apartheid, which often manifest in violent forms of urban masculinity. Instead they find ways to "remix" their identities by incorporating alternative notions of a successful self. These new identities foreground agency and competency, and are informed both by knowledge of African tradition and language, and newly acquired competency in entrepreneurship, artistic genres and
digital skills. The study argues that acquisition of
digital skills in this space is best conceptualised through the community of practice approach, where skills development is social and linked to a sense of belonging and progress. Just as the hip-hop artists claim agency in remixing their notion of self, they also claim agency in remixing the limited
digital technology available to them into various assemblages, so crafting innovative solutions to the constraints of limited and expensive
digital infrastructure. Here, through a hip-hop culture that champions overcoming adversity, dysfunctional
digital technology is constantly repaired and remixed. Hitherto, research on
digital media use in the Global South has predominantly focused on the mobile phone in isolation. This study instead argues for the merits of a holistic
digital ethnography, since observations of how these young people combine technologies such as mobile phones, computers and DVD players in everyday life, illustrate how innovation in marginalised spaces may be focused around the remixing of technology.

▼ The goal of this research was the development of an e-learning model to address the needs of the South African corporate sector. To do this it was necessary to reach an understanding of: the South African corporate training needs; the difference between training, education, academic learning and learning theory; academic e-learning best practices and their integration into the e-learning model; various instructional /learning design models and how they can enhance e-learning in the corporate sector in South Africa and general and legislative requirements for the development of elearning portals in the South African corporate sector. Reeves and Hedberg (2003) recommend that research with a development goal should use an eclectic-mixed methods-pragmatic paradigm, and multiple research instruments to collect data. This study was conducted within an ICT company that designs e-learning courses for different companies. Three corporate learning portals developed by this company from the INSETA and BANKSETA were carefully interrogated to see if there is a match between the stated and the applied e-learning design methodology. A qualitative approach, with instructional design interviews, educational expert review forms and
subject matter expert review forms was used for primary data collection and review of current e-learning design practices. The data was categorised into themes and topics using QSR NVivo 7. The patterns that emerged lead to a better understanding of local issues and these were linked to the best e-learning practices identified by the literature review and elearning practice in the South African corporate sector. The SAeLAD model was then developed based on Trivedi’s e-learning best practices and using 13 e-learning design field-based findings namely; qualifications of practitioners, constructivism versus instructivism, learning through activities to support theoretical knowledge, need for a traceable recordkeeping system, testing and re-testing of the learning environment, incorporation of special needs in the learning design, access to ICT, level of ICT competence, learner motivation, prior experiences of learning, learners’ prior knowledge, cultural backgrounds and language skills and roles and responsibilities of the design team. Comments from practitioners were incorporated in the final design.

▼ Newly qualified educators in Botswana face many challenges not least of which occurs when they are posted to rural schools a distance from other teachers and information resources. The Government of Botswana has committed itself to enhancing the ICT infrastructure for use in both the economic and educational endeavours of the country. Research conducted in first world countries show that Communities of Practice can take place in a virtual environment and that these can facilitate knowledge sharing and management. This research was conducted to investigate if a Virtual Community of Practice (VCoP), guided by the educational theories of Constructivism and Connectivism, could facilitate information and knowledge sharing among art teachers in dispersed location in the Botswana context. Using Reeves and Hedberg’s (2003) Development Research model, 13 art teachers, who were located in different parts of the country, participated in knowledge sharing through a Virtual Community of Practice. This study analysed the specific needs of art educators, interrogated the literature for best practices, formed a VCoP, and analysed how participants used it and reports on their comments The research findings indicate that educators would be enthusiastic about the use of such a facility if there was a perceivable benefit especially in breaking down the geographical induced communication barriers that they face at the moment. The research does not propose the replacement of existing face-to-face workshops, meetings and other communication fora, but rather suggests a VCoP can complement them by allowing discussions to continue beyond such meetings. It is contended that a carefully structured and supported VCoP can improve information and knowledge sharing significantly among educators and other stakeholders in Botswana.

▼ Research findings have shown that online learning has the potential to improve the quality of learning if it is designed effectively to embrace interactive, collaborative knowledge building among learners. Online learning has the capacity to facilitate efficient and enjoyable learning through skills acquisition in a context specific environment especially in Southern Africa but there are a number of challenges that designers of online learning need to factor in to the design of this pedagogy. This study explores how learner - learner; learner - course facilitator and learner - content interactions influenced and shaped learners' online learning experiences particularly satisfaction with a course facilitated from the University of Botswana for participants within the SADC region. These three forms of interactions were further explored through using 6 online learning evaluation dimensions to provide a guide to the analysis. The study employed a range of data collection methods that provided rich qualitative data including: Life world accounts, discussion forum entries, online surveys, expert reviews, and learners' grades. The findings suggest that the learners' level of interaction at the levels of the 6 dimensions could have influenced what they perceived to be valuable, effective and satisfactory. Other influencing variables were course design and community of learning presence. The findings also reveal that although the participants found the course to be very valuable to them, there were areas that could improve the learning experiences. Further longitudinal research and investigation into alternative technologies is also recommended.

▼ Science communication has never existed in a vacuum. As communication technologies evolve, so do the strategies of scientists. A historical analysis of this relationship reveals major influences that have filled information gaps left in the wake of new communication technologies. I have identified three such influences that affected 20th Century scientific communication: the corporate, the military-industrial, and the need for 'visibility' in the visible scientist. The cultural framework of the existing communication strategies has always shaped the pursuit of science. To remedy this problem, scientists need to embrace the new
media landscape and become the primary communicators of their work. Transparency is the key to the successful dialogue of science.

▼ Research into the rapidly changing area of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) in society has been performed by companies, educational institutions and governmental authorities as well as individual researchers. Still, there is rather scarce information about the premises for practice, that is, which factors influence how and why individuals use ICT, and how practices of use influence their lives? Do specific groups develop specific practices, and is youth, as it is commonly assumed, one such group? If so, do the practices influence for example the students’ views of knowledge and learning?
The educational area especially lacks information about whether and to what extent ICT influence students in a way that may have consequences for the educational sector. Before proceeding into research on the topic of ICT and youth from an educational point of view, we need to consider the methodological aspects of this enterprise. What are the phenomena we want to identify and describe? Which methods can or should we use for the task?
In this article I will point out some of the shortcomings of previous research on how people use ICT and how it affects their lives. Consequently, I will also suggest how research in this area might be improved.

The new news: vision, structure, and the digital myth in

▼ The journalism industry’s editorial practices and
business model are being pushed to change in the online environs,
and while some of the ideals behind journalism and many of its
traditional practices are evolving with the change in medium, the
transition is a slow process as inertia grips an industry that had
relied on these practices for over a century. Organizational
literature finds that it can be difficult for organizations to
change their structures once they are created, which can explain
some of the reluctance to change even as traditional
media move
online. Born‐online news organizations, however, which have never
had traditional
media counterparts, seem to be in an advantageous
position as they do not have to change existing practices in order
to make the best use of the Internet. Rather, born‐online
publications can build new organizations that approach the Internet
and new technology without being held back by traditional
journalism practices that may not work in the online environment.
This study used ethnography to compare an online‐only newsroom with
the online arm of an established news radio station, with regard to
their structures, leadership, and approach to technology. A survey
of online journalists was also conducted. The results found,
however, that online‐only newsrooms may be at a disadvantage as
they may start without the ingrained structure, routines, and
business leadership that are crucial for an organization’s success,
while still mimicking traditional print practices that may not make
sense online. The online journalists surveyed also maintained a
fairly traditional approach to the audience, even as they
recognized the need to change. While cognitive inertia may mean
that established newsrooms have a difficult time changing their
practices in response to technological changes, the task of
building a new organization from the ground up without any assumed
business structure and routines is a difficult task as well,
rendering success at online‐only news organizations more difficult
in some ways than slow changes at established newsrooms,
highlighting the importance of structure, leadership, and
vision.

The socio-technical humanities: reimagining the liberal arts

▼ This dissertation is a study of the aims, interests
and rationale underlying the endeavors of a distinct group of
humanists who sought explicitly to guide the meanings, uses and
developing customs and habits of new educational, informational and
computing technologies in the 1950s and 1960s. In particular, this
study examines and historicizes the emergence of a new cadre of
humanists in this period—""socio‐technical humanists"" as I have
labeled them, who advocated for a new kind of humanities made
socially relevant and publically engaged via this hands‐on
intervention with new
media technologies. Ultimately,
socio‐technical humanists laid the groundwork for humanists'
contemporary engagement with
digital formats. Yet, because
histories of early humanities computing have been fixated on more
recent eras—since the rise of personal computing and the
Internet—socio‐technical humanists of the 1950s and 1960s have
remained invisible to analysts and commentators on the “
digital
revolution” the “
digital humanities,” and the “crisis of the
humanities.” This dissertation seeks to recover that lost history.
❧ This study is based on an analysis of published scholarly
discourse, conference proceedings, personal and organizational
papers and reports from the U.S. Office of Education. It lies at
the nexus of three separate scholarly literatures: 1) the history
of academic humanities; 2) the history of early humanities
computing; and 3) and new
media studies. The history of the
academic humanities, while a topic of great concern in recent
years, has been singularly focused on humanists' efforts to
incorporate new
subject matter and materials into their research
and curricula in the 1950s and 1960s and has thus completely missed
the ways in which humanists struggled, in the same exact years, to
integrate electronic technologies into the humanities enterprise.
While histories of early humanities computing have examined the
relationship between the humanities and technology in the post‐WWII
era, they have missed altogether the degree to which the arrival of
audio‐visual—television and the rapid rise of multimedia
instructional systems in the 1960s—sat alongside computation in the
minds of humanists as part of the same overall electronic threat to
the printed page. Finally, while new
media scholars have recently
began to study how, in the past, new
media have entered into
established
media ecosystems, they have failed to examine cases in
which the custodians of an older
media negotiate, openly, the terms
by which an older
media's associated habits of mind could or should
be transplanted to the new
media which they sought or were
compelled to embrace. ❧ Beyond these much‐needed historiographical
interventions, this dissertation offers a number of findings, each
critical for a fuller understanding of the contemporary status and
standing of the humanities today. First, humanists' engagement with
the computer and multimedia educational systems in the 1960s played
a significant role in pushing the humanities away from a
mid‐century culture…

▼ This dissertation investigates the relationship between
digital media and cognition as it emerges in the problematic of attention. Specifically, the project examines the workings of attention across three sites (social, neurological, and technological) in order to argue for a renewed cognitive process theory of writing based in attention studies. Using the ancient pedagogical concept of epimeleias – attending to, taking care – my dissertation asks after the ethical and rhetorical stakes of care in context of contemporary higher education. Ultimately, my dissertation aims to provide a foundation for
digital literacy practices – literacy narratives, wiki-writing, remix, audio-visual essays, etc. – in light of the increasing shift towards hybrid and fully
digital writing courses and massive open online courses (MOOCs).
