Internet Radio workshop in Ohrid

June 11th, 2010 by Graham Attwell

The Internet radio workshop at the Joint Technology Enhanced Learning Summer School in Ohrid, Macedonia was great fun. it was a decidedly hands on approach to learning!

The one and a half hour workshop preceded the broadcast of a 35 minute programme live from the Summer School. the first five minutes of the workshop was given over to an introduction of what internet radio is and what it might be good for in education. the next five minutes looked at the different tasks and roles in making a live programme – interviewers, sound technicians, floor director, vox pops interviewers etc. Then the 20 or so students who had turned up for the workshop split into four groups to discuss possible content for the programme. Twenty minutes later we came back together for an editorial meeting to discuss the content and storyboard the broadcast. We appointed participants to different role sin the programme. For those interested I provided a five minute introduction to the technology were were using. That left us 20 minutes or so for final preparations. And then it was 5,4,3,2,1, – “Welcome to the Sounds of the Bazaar LIVE for the Summer School in Ohrid……”

It was a shame there was no time for a follow up workshop. I would have liked to explore more the issues especially around participatory culture that internet radio raises. And also to discuss its potential use in education, particularly for professional development and for working with socially disadvantaged young people. Producing a programme like this also involves a wide range of skills, including interviewing skills, planning skills, teamwork and the ability to present ideas.

If you would be intereted in exploring how to use Internet radio workshops to develop these ideas or skills, please get in touch.

In the meantime thanks to all the Summer School participants for their enthusiasm and effort. And here is the podcast of the show…..

    News Bites

    From a Jisc press release:

    Over 14,000 items of archived TV footage from 17 European countries are now available via the EUscreen online portal for teaching, research and general interest.

    EUscreen – the result of a collaboration between 36 partners across Europe – provides a rich insight into Europe’s television heritage with content dating from the 1920s to the present day.

    The portal includes rare footage and commentary on key events in history, including a 1962 interview with Martin Luther King about racial discrimination in the US.

    John Ellis, Professor of Media Arts at Royal Holloway and principal investigator on the EUscreen project, said: “This is a valuable resource for anyone interested in social history or indeed TV history, as it brings together tens of thousands of clips from across Europe. The portal is available to anyone (not only academics) and it is very easy to get absorbed and spend hours browsing all of the footage.”

    The expansive footage has also proved popular as a learning aid for foreign language students, with clips available in 14 languages.

    By the end of September 2012, there will be around 30,000 items of digital content freely available on the portal as the European providers continue to add carefully selected material.

    Open online seminar

    Jisc are hosting an open, online seminar on ‘Making Assessment Count (MAC)’ on Friday 3rd Feb – 1-2pm. The presenters are Professor Peter Chatterton (Daedalus e-World Ltd) and Professor Gunter Saunders (University of Westminster).

    The mailing for the seminar says” “The objective of Making Assessment Count is primarily to help students engage more closely with the assessment process, either at the stage where they are addressing an assignment or at the stage when they receive feedback on a completed assignment. In addition an underlying theme of MAC is to use technology to help connect student reflections on their assessment with their tutors. To facilitate the reflection aspect of MAC a web based tool called e-Reflect is often used. This tool enables the authoring of self-review questionnaires by tutors for students. On completion of an e-Reflect questionnaire a report is generated for the student containing responses that are linked to the options the student selected on the questionnaire.”
