Webcast from MIT: Learning Through Remixing

Webcast from MIT: Learning Through Remixing
This program (93 minutes running time) was recorded on April 28, 2007 and added to the MIT World Video Library 11 days ago. The presentation is part of the MIT5 series.

Direct to Video

From the synopsis:

If you are sufficiently new media literate, you might recognize this panel as a mash-up, combining but not homogenizing five distinctive interpretations of “remixing.” Each contributor has a unique project example to share, but in the end there is some convergence: remixing enables participation, and thus encourages creativity, ownership, and collaboration – the three attributes of contemporary digital culture celebrated in this edition of the annual Media in Transition conference...Some thorny issues surface, including how to explain to living artists why it is legitimate to “steal” their work for remixes, and why it may be especially important for young people of color to undertake the cultural work of determining where meaning is situated.

MODERATOR:
Henry Jenkins
Peter de Florez Professor of Humanities and Director of Comparative

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
