  • Digital Media Practice and Medium Theory Informing Learning on Mobile Touch Screen Devices
    Touching knowledge: Digital media practice and medium theory informing learning on mobile touch screen devices Victor Alexander Renolds Bachelor of Communications (Interactive Multimedia) College of Arts & Education Victoria University. Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts 13 November 2017 Abstract The years since 2007 have seen the worldwide uptake of a new type of mobile computing device with a touch screen interface. While this context presents accessible and low cost opportunities to extend the reach of higher education, there is little understanding of how learning occurs when people interact with these devices in their everyday lives. Medium theory concerns the study of one type of media and its unique effects on people and culture (Meyrowitz, 2001, p. 10). My original contribution to knowledge is to use medium theory to examine the effects of the mobile touch screen device (MTSD) on the learning experiences and practices of adults. My research question is: What are the qualities of the MTSD medium that facilitate learning by practice? The aim of this thesis is to produce new knowledge towards enhancing higher education learning design involving MTSDs. The project involved a class of post-graduates studying communications theory who were asked to complete a written major assessment using their own MTSDs. Their assignment submissions form the qualitative data that was collected and analysed, supplemented with field notes capturing my own post-graduate learning experiences whilst using an MTSD. I predominantly focus on the ideas of Marshall McLuhan within the setting of medium theory as my theoretical framework. The methods I use are derived from McLuhan's Laws of the Media (1975), its phenomenological underpinnings and relevance to the concept of ‘flow' (Csikszentmihalyi, 2014b, p.

PHOTO: JUSTIN LANEEPASHUTTERSTOCK By Konrad Putzier Updated March 30, 2021 521 pm ET Listen to this article 5 minutes JPMorgan Chase & Co., Salesforce. com Inc. and PricewaterhouseCoopers are among the major firms looking to unload big blocks of office space, the latest sign that remote work is hurting demand for this pillar of commercial real estate. Large companies typically sign office leases for a decade or longer, giving them few options for reducing their footprint beyond trying to sublease floors to other tenants. At the end of 2020, 137 million square feet of office space was available for sublease across the U.S., according to CBRE Group Inc. That is up 40% from a year earlier and the highest figure since 2003. https://www.wsj.com/articles/jpmorgan-salesforce-join-growing-list-of-firms-dumping-office-space-11617096603 1/4 4/5/2021 JPMorgan, Salesforce Join Growing List of Firms Dumping Office Space - WSJ While sublet space increases during every recession as struggling businesses look to cut costs, firms typically add office space when the economy picks up again.

  • Shutterstock Releases Reverse Image Search on Ios
    Shutterstock Releases Reverse Image Search on iOS The Company Is the First Stock Photo Provider to Apply Computer Vision Search-and- Discovery Technology to Mobile NEW YORK, NY, May 24, 2016 -- Shutterstock, Inc. (NYSE:SSTK), a leading global provider of imagery and music, today released its search and discovery features -- which were first introduced for desktop use in March -- for mobile use. Reverse Image Search for mobile invites users to capture the world around them on their mobile phones, and then to upload them via the Shutterstock app to search Shutterstock’s collection of over 80 million images for similar content and style. Since it launched its first mobile app five years ago, Shutterstock has invested in creating easy-to-use mobile technology. Bringing machine learning to mobile is the next step toward a more mobile-centric future for images. As users upload photos captured by phones to search Shutterstock’s collection, the neural network on Shutterstock’s back end studies and learns what types of images are most popular for mobile usage rather than desktop usage; with time, it will grow to understand authentic photography taken in more natural settings. Data collected will showcase emerging trends and best techniques on mobile devices. This is the latest Shutterstock innovation made to enable next-generation search and discovery experiences by expanding beyond keywords. Earlier this year, Shutterstock announced it had applied machine-learning techniques to teach its computers to master its collection of high-quality imagery. “When we unveiled Reverse Image Search this past spring, we knew that it was a perfect fit for our mobile application -- it’s arguably one of the best use cases for computer vision technology in general,” said Shutterstock CEO and founder Jon Oringer.
