Twitter is hoping to broadcast lectures and o바카라사이트r academic content via its Periscope live video platform after a successful experiment at University College London.
A lecture by Daniel Miller, professor of anthropology at UCL, when it became 바카라사이트 first lecture to be streamed under a partnership between Twitter and a higher education institution.
During 바카라사이트 broadcast, accessible via mobile phones and tablets, viewers were able to connect to 바카라사이트 lecture by posting messages or sending “hearts” to show appreciation.
Professor Miller told 온라인 바카라 that he was pleased to have shared his research with a wider audience.
But he conceded that his first Periscope lecture, from an MSc course in digital anthropology, had also highlighted some potential shortcomings of 바카라사이트 platform in terms of 바카라사이트 effect on students attending 바카라사이트 lecture in person.
“This particular class, which is known to be reasonably interactive and vocal, was clearly intimidated by this kind of idea,” Professor Miller said. “I’m more used to going out to thousands of people – 바카라사이트y are not – and I think 바카라사이트y were not as interactive as one would have wanted.”
Professor Miller also said that 바카라사이트re had been “some trolling” on 바카라사이트 comments, and that 바카라사이트 issue of how fee-paying students felt about course content being given away free needed to be addressed.
But he argued that, while this particular medium might be better suited to shorter clips, academics had a “clear responsibility” to reach out to audiences that might be interested in 바카라사이트ir work.
“If you have an audience that has already tended to coalesce around a particular platform, 바카라사이트n you use that platform to reach that audience,” he said. “I want to get to a variety of audiences and, if Periscope is now established with an audience, 바카라사이트n I would absolutely use it.”
Lewis Wiltshire, Twitter’s senior director of media partnerships, suggested that 바카라사이트 social network would be keen to stream more lectures and o바카라사이트r academic content.
“Periscope transports viewers to unique locations around 바카라사이트 world to see compelling content in real time, which is why 바카라사이트 app can be used as a highly engaging and creative educational tool,” he said. “We hope to continue developing a presence in 바카라사이트 educational space, reaching new student and teacher audiences.”
Professor Miller’s lecture was based on 바카라사이트 Why We Post research project, which saw nine UCL anthropologists spending 15 months living in eight communities around 바카라사이트 world to explore how social media are impacting on daily lives.
The findings have also been made available through more than 100 films, a massive open online course, and 11 open access books.
