In particular, the impact of new media technology on college students’ ideological and political education is very important. The development of new media technology has brought the opportunities to college students’ ideological and political education while bringing the challenges. Therefore, it is an urgent task to study on college students’ ideological and political education under the new media environment. 1.

  • Audience Affect, Interactivity, and Genre in the Age of Streaming TV
    . Volume 16, Issue 2 November 2019 Navigating the Nebula: Audience affect, interactivity, and genre in the age of streaming TV James M. Elrod, University of Michigan, USA Abstract: Streaming technologies continue to shift audience viewing practices. However, aside from addressing how these developments allow for more complex serialized streaming television, not much work has approached concerns of specific genres that fall under the field of digital streaming. How do emergent and encouraged modes of viewing across various SVOD platforms re-shape how audiences affectively experience and interact with genre and generic texts? What happens to collective audience discourses as the majority of viewers’ situated consumption of new serial content becomes increasingly accelerated, adaptable, and individualized? Given the range and diversity of genres and fandoms, which often intersect and overlap despite their current fragmentation across geographies, platforms, and lines of access, why might it be pertinent to reconfigure genre itself as a site or node of affective experience and interactive, collective production? Finally, as studies of streaming television advance within the industry and academia, how might we ponder on a genre-by- genre basis, fandoms’ potential need for time and space to collectively process and interact affectively with generic serial texts – in other words, to consider genres and generic texts themselves as key mediative sites between the contexts of production and those of fans’ interactivity and communal, affective pleasure? This article draws together threads of commentary from the industry, scholars, and culture writers about SVOD platforms, emergent viewing practices, speculative genres, and fandoms to argue for the centrality of genre in interventions into audience studies.

Anderson Distributed Learning Course Management Specialist CERMUSA - Saint Francis University P.O. Box 600 Loretto, PA 15940-0600 814-472-3947 [email protected] This project is partially supported by the Center of Excellence for Remote and Medically Under- Served Areas (CERMUSA) at Saint Francis University, Loretto, Pennsylvania, under the Office of Naval Research Grant Number N000140210938. Introduction Concisely defined, “streaming media” is moving video and/or audio transmitted over the Internet for immediate viewing/listening by an end user. However, at Saint Francis University’s Center of Excellence for Remote and Medically Under-Served Areas (CERMUSA), we approach stream- ing media from a broader perspective. Our working definition includes a wide range of visual electronic multimedia that can be transmitted across the Internet for viewing in real time or saved as a file for later viewing. While downloading and saving a media file for later play is not, strictly speaking, a form of streaming, we include that method in our discussion of multimedia content used in education. There are numerous media types and within most, multiple hardware and software platforms used to develop and distribute video and audio content across campus or the Internet. Faster, less expensive and more powerful computers and related tools brings the possibility of content crea- tion, editing and distribution into the hands of the content creators.

  • Fundamentals of Streaming Media Systems
    Chapter 1 FUNDAMENTALS OF STREAMING MEDIA SYSTEMS Multimedia (MM) systems utilize audio and visual information, such as video, audio, text, graphics, still images, and animations to provide effec- tive means for communication. These systems utilize multi-human senses in conveying information, and they play a major role in educational ap- plications (such as e-learning and distance learning), library information systems (such as digital library systems), entertainment systems (such as Video-On-Demand and interactive TV), communication systems (such as mobile phone multimedia messaging), military systems (such as Advanced Leadership Training Simulation), etc. Due to the exponential improvements of the past few years in solid state technology (i.e., processor and memory) as well as increased bandwidth and storage capacities of modern magnetic disk drives, it has been technically feasible to implement these systems in ways we only could have dreamed about a decade ago. Achallenging task when implementing MM systems is to support the sustained bandwidth required to display Streaming Media (SM) objects, such as video and audio objects. Unlike traditional data types, such as records, text and still images, SM objects are usually large in size. For example, a two- hour MPEG-2 encoded movie requires approximately 3.6 gigabytes (GByte) of storage (at a display rate of 4 megabits per second (Mb/s)). Figure 1.1 compares the space requirements for ninety minute video clips encoded in different industry standard digital formats. Second, the isochronous nature of SM objects requires timely, real-time display of data blocks at a pre- specified rate. For example, the NTSC video standard requires that 30 video frames per second be displayed to a viewer.
