Hollywood Forever: Exploring The Digital African Diaspora In Poetry

<div>Abstract from First Paragraph:</div><div><br></div><div>This essay exclusively examines Holiday’s ebook Hollywood Forever. The e-book is non-traditional and includes a variety of media and performative elements that might otherwise be experienced in art exhibits or installations. The e-book is uniquely crafted to display a blend of visual and auditory features like posters, news reports, and podcasts. Moreover, the multimedia production adds layers of meaning, complexity, and emotion to the text. Holiday’s inclusion of historical materials from American Black culture is a recreation of the Black diaspora archives. Through the unity of old and new media, Holiday weaves together a complex narrative that combines past historical oppression, racial injustice, and intergenerational trauma to recontextualized contemporary social issues. The e-book embodies afropresentism, the combination of digital archival materials, to empower the Black voice. By reshaping history to create space for Black identities, digital texts can participate in the making of their own social and archival construction. The process of rememory uses archival material to reconstruct the narrative of a previously marginalized group. Holiday’s text uses rememory to investigate cultural biases and rearticulate the reader’s approach to racial injustices. </div>

Understanding Student-Led Groups

Moving beyond traditional education structures to build a lasting electronic music school movement requires more than charismatic teachers and compelling outcomes. It requires a generation of students who feel ownership of their work, and their work has to make a meaningful impact on the school and the community of students at large. This chapter discusses the teacher’s role in such groups, as a facilitator rather than director. The chapter explains the organizational psychology behind creative teams and gives methods for helping students work in groups that highlight their strengths and that match projects to their abilities and interests. The text outlines the facilitator’s responsibility to motivate productivity, to provide logistical support and resources, and to act as a proxy for the audience. Finally, the chapter shows how these methods can expand beyond music projects to encompass film, TV shows, and other multimedia production.

Art-repreneur: an examination of the role of entrepreneurial self-identification and technique in the success of creative ventures

The following paper positions independent, creative producers and businesses in the creative sector as entrepreneurial. It also assesses how prior knowledge of entrepreneurship may contribute to the success of creative ventures. Through a sample of nine interviews with creative producers in the visual arts (namely digital art, multimedia production, painting, photography and new media art), this papers assesses 1) current conceptions of creative process and creative personalities 2) how entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial intention has helped them achieve social or capital gain. While some artists have used bootstrapping and lean methodologies to increase their incidences of success, they were not exposed to these methodologies prior to embarking on a career in the arts. Knowledge of bootstrapping can give artists ways to maximize the social and economic resources available to them. Knowledge of lean methodology can help artists decrease the inherent risk of creating artistic products while letting them better understand their value within a marketplace.

An Educational Project Based on a Digital Library of Filmed Courses

In this chapter we describe the experience developed around OpenFING, a project based on a digital library of filmed courses. We highlight OpenFING as an initiative of students for students that has obtained the support of the Engineering School of Universidad de la República (Uruguay). Currently, OpenFING seeks its consolidation along with an undergraduate course of initiation to audiovisual and multimedia production. The project aims to be an engine to develop educational innovations and different computer tools to support teaching and learning. The objective is to transform OpenFING into an effective collaborative and interactive open learning platform. From the evidence collected by this work, we can conclude that OpenFING is perceived by students and some teachers as an appropriate resource complementary to learning.

Exploration on Digital Teaching of industrial design course

In the spring of 2020, affected by the new epidemic situation, the state called for "suspension of classes and no suspension of school", and encouraged schools to use the Internet and other informationbased means for teaching. Deepening the reform of China's higher education, actively exploring the teaching of industrial design under the digital background, and cultivating designers with innovative spirit and innovative ability are the responsibilities of industrial design teachers. Digital teaching mode emphasizes students' independent and innovative learning, which is easy to realize digital virtualization of learning environment, and provides students with more creative space and practical freedom. Teachers should combine the requirements and characteristics of industrial design courses, with the help of webbased network teaching platform, multimedia production tools and network programming tools to construct the system mode of digital teaching resources system for industrial design courses. Digital teaching provides an effective means for teachers to implement innovative education and build a platform for students to learn independently. Exploring the advantages of digital teaching, developing multimedia courseware and innovating multi-media teaching material database have become effective teaching means to cultivate students' ability and ensure the quality and sustainable development of industrial design talents.

A Collaborative Multimedia Project Model for Online Graduate Students Supported by On-Campus Undergraduate Students

This descriptive narrative depicts an academic program that deploys a collaborative project model for delivering concurrent multimedia courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applying this model, online master’s students who are studying the management of technical communication activities remotely manage teams of on-campus undergraduate students who are studying multimedia production skills. The author piloted the collaborative project model during a recent academic term. Student response to the format was overwhelmingly positive from both graduates and undergraduates, and the resulting projects were of exceptional quality and well received by their respective clients.

Entering Television through the Porta dos Fundos

The present chapter begins by delving deeper into the Brazilian mediascape during the period between 1990 and 2011, revealing the early appearance of developments that challenged TV Globo’s audience shares over the two decades.
