Several online co-writing workshops followed, working together in Google Docs while video-conferencing. The list of contributors was recorded automatically in the Google Doc activity log. The content of the report was finalised on 12 May 2021, at which point this activity log was copied into a Google spreadsheet, and a ‘table chart’ automatically rendered to weigh contributions. On this basis LITHME’s Chair, Dave Sayers, is the named first author. He is very closely followed in the activity log by Rui Sousa Silva, Chair of LITHME Working Group 1, and then by Sviatlana Höhn, LITHME’s Vice- Chair. All three contributed significantly and consistently. The other named contributors all made the report what it is: authoritative, clear, diverse, and future-oriented. We look forward to working together on future editions of this important forecast.

  • Significance of Learning Non-Verbal Communication
    Proceedings of INTCESS2018- 5th International Conference on Education and Social Sciences 5-7 February 2018- Istanbul, Turkey SIGNIFICANCE OF LEARNING NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION Shuchi* Assist. Prof. Dr., National Institute of Technology Mizoram, India, [email protected] Abstract In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyze the importance of learning non-verbal communication for the students. Wordless communication depends upon decoding the sign language in the desired manner. Verbal communication becomes dull if the speaker has a listless face and awkward body language which makes the conversation boring and bizarre. Sometimes speakers’ lackadaisical face creates confusion in judging his/her mood. This problem has been identified in the classroom among the students when they are unable to give the suitable or desired expressions. To perform this research, data have been collected from 100 students by using questionnaire method about the importance of learning non-verbal communication for them. It incorporates kinesics, proxemics, paralanguage, haptics, and chronemics. It is suggested that these cues should be used with great care in conversation. As improper use of sign language may spoil the originality and essence of the message and will create a barrier in getting a positive feedback from the receiver. The study revealed that students were unaware about the proper use of non-verbal cues, as a result, they were unable to present themselves properly during their academic presentation and job interview. Thus the findings reveal the importance of non-verbal communication and stressed upon the inclusion of its study as a requirement of present scenario. Keywords: Non-Verbal Communication (NVC), kinesics, Proxemics, Paralanguage.

  • Communication Skills
    IJIRST –International Journal for Innovative Research in Science & Technology| Volume 3 | Issue 04 | September 2016 ISSN (online): 2349-6010 Communication Skills Dr. V Parimala Venu Dr. P Sreenivasulu Reddy Associate Professor Assistant Professor GITAM University, Visakhapatnam, AP, India GITAM University, Visakhapatnam, AP, India Abstract It is apt to mention that for Technocrats; it is significant to learn the basics of communication. In this chapter we will introduce you to the basic elements of communication. so that you may equip yourself with necessary skills of Communication and the activity of conveying meaning through a shared system of signs and semiotic rules. In the realm of biology in general, communication often occurs through visual, auditory, or biochemical means. Human communication is unique for its extensive use of language. Non-human communication is studied in the field of bio semiotics. Keywords: Communication Skills, Spoken Communication Skills _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ I. INTRODUCTION Nonverbal Communication Nonverbal communication describes the process of conveying meaning in the form of non-word messages. Examples of nonverbal communication include haptic communication, chronemic communication, gestures, body language, facial expression, eye contact, and how one dresses. Speech also contains nonverbal elements known as paralanguage, e.g. rhythm, intonation, tempo, and stress. Research has shown that up to 55% of human communication may occur through nonverbal facial expressions, and a further 38% through paralanguage. Likewise, written texts include nonverbal elements such as handwriting style, spatial arrangement of words and the use of emoticons to convey emotional expressions in pictorial form. Verbal Communication Effective verbal or spoken communication is dependent on a number of factors and cannot be fully isolated from communication, listening skills and clarification.

    Designing Communication Technologies Based On Physiological Sensing Dissertation an der Fakultät für Mathematik, Informatik und Statistik der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München vorgelegt von Mariam Hassib M.Sc. Information Technology München, den 9. Juli 2018 Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Albrecht Schmidt Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Florian Alt Drittgutachter: Prof. Dr. m.c. schraefel Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 01.08.2018 iii iv Abstract Abstract The human body, that marvellous chamber of secrets, reveals myriads of information about its owner’s physical, psychological, emotional and cognitive state. In the last century, sci- entists in the medical field achieved huge leaps in identifying, collecting and analysing of signals generated inside the human brain and body.The advancement in the technology of sensing and collecting those physiological signals has finally matured enough; making the mysterious human body a more attainable source of information to regular non-trained users. Research in the field of Human Computer Interaction has always looked for new ways to in- terface between humans and machines. With the help of physiological sensing, a new channel of information originating inside the human body becomes available. The opportunities this new channel provides are limitless. In this thesis we take this opportunity to look at our own bodies as a source of information, to better understand ourselves, and others. In a world where partners and friends are in long-distance relationships, meeting rooms are distributed over cities, and working teams are remote, efficient communication mediated over a distance becomes crucial. We see our bodies as a direct interface for communication: our heartbeats reveal how excited we are, our brain reveals how focused we are, and our skin reveals how stressed we are.

  • Participatory Propaganda Model 1
    A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 1 Participatory Propaganda: The Engagement of Audiences in the Spread of Persuasive Communications Alicia Wanless Michael Berk Director of Strategic Communications, Visiting Research Fellow, SecDev Foundation Centre for Cyber Security and International [email protected] Relations Studies, University of Florence [email protected] Paper presented at the "Social Media & Social Order, Culture Conflict 2.0" conference organized by Cultural Conflict 2.0 and sponsored by the Research Council of Norway on 1 December 2017, Oslo. To be published as part of the conference proceedings in 2018. A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 2 Abstract Existing research on aspects of propaganda in a digital age tend to focus on isolated techniques or phenomena, such as fake news, trolls, memes, or botnets. Providing invaluable insight on the evolving human-technology interaction in creating new formats of persuasive messaging, these studies lend to an enriched understanding of modern propaganda methods. At the same time, the true effects and magnitude of successful influencing of large audiences in the digital age can only be understood if target audiences are perceived not only as ‘objects’ of influence, but as ‘subjects’ of persuasive communications as well. Drawing from vast available research, as well as original social network and content analyses conducted during the 2016 U.S. presidential elections, this paper presents a new, qualitatively enhanced, model of modern propaganda – “participatory propaganda” - and discusses its effects on modern democratic societies. Keywords: propaganda, Facebook, social network analysis, content analysis, politics A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 3 Participatory Propaganda: The Engagement of Audiences in the Spread of Persuasive Communications Rapidly evolving information communications technologies (ICTs) have drastically altered the ways individuals engage in the public information domain, including news ways of becoming subjected to external influencing.
