talk on research dissemination in social media

Jill4 Comments

I just gave a talk for Forskning.no’s seminar about research dissemination/popularisation, Fra forskning til forside v3.0. Here are the slides:

Forskningsformidling med sosiale medier

I had to leave right after my talk, because my Remix Culture students are presentating their research projects at noon, but I was able to hear Ove Dalen‘s talk before mine about how to write online. He gave an engaging presentation with some interesting points: did you know that we now read more of an article presented online than we would if it were presented on paper? Also, while Jacob Nielsen in 1997 found that 80% of us scan online texts rather than reading them, that number’s dropped to around 50% according to a study by Poynter in 2009 (I’ll have to ask Ove Dalen for a more complete source for that: luckily he’s on Twitter so that’ll be easy!). Oh, and the first thing we notice on a website? The text, not the images. Ove Dalen has written a couple of books on writing for the web, and gives classes frequently, so I’ve seen his work online regularly over the last years, but this is the first time I’ve heard him speak in person.

    Hi, Jill. You can find more details about the last big eyetrack study by Poynter here: http://www.slideshare.net/coolstuff/poynter-eyetracking-study-march-07

    The whole study (from 2007 – not 2009) are avaliable as a book “Eyetracking the news”: http://www.amazon.com/Eyetracking-News-Sara-Quinn/dp/0979868505

Språk er makt. Ikke la KI ta den makten fra deg.

Readers who don’t read Norwegian: sorry. This is in Norwegian because it is commenting on a current debate in Norwegian media. Asle Tojes debattinnlegg «får KI-alarmen til å gå,» skriver Petter Bae Brandtzæg, og jeg er enig. Toje sier riktignok nei, han har ikke brukt KI. Han «har kvitteringer,» skriver han, teksten tar […]

The debate was expertly led by Liva Flo. It’s always […]
