Learning on Screen 2009 - Call for Papers
The Learning on Screen Conference 2009 will be held at The Wellcome Collection (183 Euston Road, London NW1 2BE) on 7th and 8th April 2009.
This annual conference was established by the Society for Screen-Based Learning and focuses on the delivery of learning and research with moving image and sound - be it broadcasting, web delivery or cinema.
Two key themes of the conference will be:
• Disability and Access to Moving Image and Sound
• Online Moving image and Sound Services for Learning
The programme will be arranged in 30 minute sessions. The organisers are therefore seeking proposals with a speaker presentation time of 20 minutes each.
Proposals should be submitted (with a title and 200 word summary, along with your name, current position and short biography) to pa@bufvc.ac.uk on or before 15th January 2009.
For more information about the conference please visit the BUFVC web site.
Digitising Moral Panic - Video in the Classroom
Carol Green, from Craven College Skipton, was one of the first lecturers to use the NewsFilm Online resource in a classroom setting, selecting a suite of films from the archive that explore the idea of moral panic.
In particular, she wanted to show her class of Journalism students that the idea of moral panic is not a contemporary one. Clips from the NewsFilm Online archive were central to her argument that moral panics are not only a contemporary concern, but had an imapact in the 1950s.
A news-clip reporting on violence between Mods and Rockers was a key part of her work.
You can see a video of Ms Green explaining her usage of the resource from the JISC website.
