  • Examining the Efficacy of Personal Response Devices in Army Training
    Journal of Information Technology Education: Volume 12, 2013 Innovations in Practice Examining the Efficacy of Personal Response Devices in Army Training Angelina Hill Bea Babbitt College of the Redwoods, University of Nevada, Eureka, California, USA Las Vegas, Nevada, USA [email protected] [email protected] Executive Summary Benefits of personal response devices (PRDs) have been demonstrated in a variety of settings and disciplines in higher education. This study looked outside of higher education to investigate the efficacy of PRDs in an Army training course in terms of trainee performance, engagement, and satisfaction. Instructors were also surveyed to determine their perceptions of the impact of PRDs on student learning and engagement. Participant trainees reported that they were more engaged and had a better understanding of how well they understood the material because of the PRDs. Participants who had previously taken the course without PRDs reported a preference for the training with PRDs in terms of being more engaged, learning more, and enjoying the course more. No improvement in performance was detected when comparing final exam scores in these courses to prior courses that did not use PRDs. Instructors appeared to see benefits afforded to their students, but they also found the course more challenging to teach, highlighting the need for adequate training to use the new technology, and care taken to developing effective questions. Keywords: personal response devices, clickers, army, military, enhanced training. Introduction Personal Response Devices (PRDs) have demonstrated success in terms of engagement (e.g., Caldwell, 2007; Hall, Collier, Thomas, & Hilgers, 2005) student satisfaction (e.g., Byrd, Cole- man, & Werneth, 2004; Johnson, 2005; Lowery, 2005), and performance (e.g., Edens, 2009; Poulis, Massen, Robens & Gilbert, 1998; Ribbens, 2007) in a variety of venues.

  • “One Line Flows, Yeah I Got Some of Those”: Genre, Tradition, and the Reception of Rhythmic Regularity in Grime Flow
    “ONE LINE FLOWS, YEAH I GOT SOME OF THOSE”: GENRE, TRADITION, AND THE RECEPTION OF RHYTHMIC REGULARITY IN GRIME FLOW Alexander Harvey Marsden A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Music Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Jocelyn R. Neal Allen Anderson Mark Katz © 2017 Alexander Harvey Marsden ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Alexander Harvey Marsden: “One Line Flows, Yeah I Got Some of Those”: Genre, Tradition, and the Reception of Rhythmic Regularity in Grime Flow (Under the direction of Jocelyn Neal) In its musical style and performance practices, the British rap genre grime bears the traces of London’s electronic dance music scene, out of which it emerged in the early 2000s. One such trace is grime’s characteristic style of flow—the rhythmic dimensions of a rapper’s delivery of text—and the role that this plays in encouraging grime’s listeners to move. This thesis argues that grime flow exhibits a tendency towards rhythmic regularity, which differentiates it from flow styles that tend toward irregularity. Drawing from music cognition and music-theoretic work on the pleasures of repetition for listeners, particularly in electronic dance music, it asks what listeners find engaging about grime flow’s regularity. It argues, through an analysis of Skepta’s “That’s Not Me,” that grime flow encourages a participatory mode of listening from its audience, which in turn contributes to a broader orientation towards communality in the genre.

  • The Aesthetics and Ethics of London Based Rap
    The Aesthetics and Ethics of London Based Rap: A Sociology of UK Hip-Hop and Grime Richard Bramwell Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in the Department of Sociology, London School of Economics and Political Science 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the prior written consent of the author. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. 2 Abstract This thesis considers rap music produced in London. The project employs close textual analysis and ethnography to engage with the formal characteristics of rap and the social relations constructed through its production and use. The black cultural tradition has a considerable history and the thesis focuses upon its appropriation in contemporary London. The study begins with an examination of the process of becoming a rapper. I then consider the collaborative work that rap artists engage in and how these skills contribute to construction of the UK Hip-Hop and Grime scenes. Moving on from this focus on cultural producers, I then consider the practices of rap music’s users and the role of rap in mainstream metropolitan life. I use the public bus as a site through which to observe the ethical relations that are constituted through sharing and playing with rap music.

This is the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Program interview with NEA Jazz Master, guitarist, vocalist, composer, and arranger George Benson in his house in Phoenix, Arizona, conducted by Anthony Brown with Marty Ashby and Ken Kimery present. Good afternoon, George Benson. Benson: Good afternoon. Brown: I just want to say, first of all, that it’s indeed a pleasure and an honor to be here to conduct this oral history interview for the national archives, and I just want to say that the last interview we conducted was with Hubert Laws, last month with Hubert Laws, and of course when I think of both of you, you two basically created the soundtrack for my college era in the ’70s, the music on CTI, and then you later on, on Warner Bros., was a music that I came of age with, and I just want to thank – as I did thank Hubert Laws – thank you for giving my life such a blessed soundtrack. Benson: He’s a great musician. I really enjoyed – I knew I moved up in class when I started working with him. Brown: If we could start by you stating your full name, your birth name, your date of birth, and your place of birth.
