The Burner Project: Privacy and Social Control in a Networked WorldShade, Molly 05 1900 (has links)
As mobile phones become increasingly ubiquitous in today’s world, academic and public audiences alike are curious about the interaction between mobile technologies and social norms. To investigate this phenomenon, I examined how individuals use technology to actively manage their communication behaviors. Through a three-month research project on usage patterns of Burner, a mobile application, this thesis explores the relationships among technology, culture, and privacy. Burner is a service that equips individuals with the means to create, maintain, and/or dissolve social ties by providing temporary, disposable numbers to customers. The application offers a way to communicate without relying on a user’s personal phone number. In other words, Burner acts as a “privacy layer” for mobile phones. It also provides a valuable platform to examine how customers use the application as a strategy for communication management. This thesis represents a marriage of practice and theory: (1) As an applied enterprise, the project was constructed as a customer needs assessment intending to examine how the service was situated in the lives of its users. The findings have successfully been applied to my client’s company strategy and have led to a more informed customer approach. (2) As an academic endeavor, this research contributes to existing scholarship in anthropology, computer-mediated communication, privacy, and design. The results provide rich fodder for discussions about the impact of mobile communication and services.

Implementation and Outcomes of an Online English-Portuguese Tandem Language Exchange Program Delivered Jointly Across a U.S.-Brazilian University Partnership: A Case StudyBrinckwirth, Anton 25 April 2012 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to investigate a class-to-class online English-Portuguese "Teletandem” program that was conceived, negotiated, and implemented cross-collaboratively between the foreign language instructors and language resource center (LRC) staff at two large state universities—one in the United States and the other in Brazil. Ten English language students in Brazil were paired with 10 Portuguese language students in the U.S. for a 10-week Skype®-based tandem language exchange (TLE) project that was jointly delivered online across an international university partnership. A qualitative case study design was used to examine the attitudes, perceptions, views, and behaviors of the teachers, students, and LRC staff who participated in the project. The objective of the study was to shed light on the factors that facilitated and hindered teletandem design, implementation and sustainability. Participant feedback was interpreted and contextualized by the researcher to provide rich descriptions of how Teletandem was optimized and how it impacted student learning. The findings suggest that Teletandem is an innovative, low-cost, high-impact language learning activity with vast pedagogical implications. As a lab supplement to traditional instruction, it enabled students at both sites to accelerate L2 development through authentic immersion and practice while making social connections with native speakers abroad. In addition, the results showed that—for many students—Teletandem heightened intercultural awareness, boosted confidence in the L2, and strengthened fluency skills while rendering a transformational learning experience.

Způsoby a motivace užívání sociálních sítí Facebook a Nyx a identita jejich uživatelů: kvalitativní komparativní studie / Motivation and individual use of social networks, namely Facebook and Nyx and the identity of thein users: Qualitative comparative studyŠimáková, Lenka January 2012 (has links)
Lenka Šimáková Způsoby a motivace užívání sociálních sítí Facebook a Nyx a identita jejich uživatelů: Kvalitativní komparativní studie Mediální studia, IKSŽ, FSV UK, 2012 Abstract The key goal of this thesis is to find correlations between motivation and usage of social network(ing) sites and how they influence self-presentation of the users as a process of defining their own identity. A qualitative method of semi-structured interviews with five active users of both researched sites was used to describe the impact of the social and technological environment on the way they present themselves towards others. I therefore focus mainly on the social identity of the users: why and how they interact, how they perceive the sites and their role within their groups and how it influences their administration of their personal profiles. I also focus on other relevant subjects of within-line social communication: I describe various aspects of computer mediated communication, user perception of public and private sphere on-line and other issues such as group dynamics or users' approach to the social network(ing) sites as tools for managing their social capital. The resulting set of hypothesis is based on my analysis of the conducted interviews. This thesis brings an insight into user reflection of researched platforms,...

The Cultural Adaptation of Internet Dating: Attitudes towards Online Relationship FormationMiller, Corey T. 20 May 2011 (has links)
This study explores the social approval of internet dating through the ranking of vignette scenarios. The scenarios are manipulated by the conditions of face-to-face interaction, presence of mutual acquaintance, and use of internet technology. Measures of legitimacy, predicted longevity, and social perception test for changes in attitudes of the varied ways in which a hypothetical couple meets. One of seven randomly distributed scenarios was ranked by a total of 346 undergraduates to disentangle the above conditions and test for an effect on social approval. Situated in the framework of cultural adaptation, script theory and the saturated self, support is found for low cultural approval of internet dating. Conditions of face-to-face interaction, issues of trust, and affinity to the internet demonstrate clear effects on the approval of relationships formed through internet dating.

[en] FACEWORK VIA E-MAIL: STRATEGIC INTERACTION IN DISTANCE EDUCATION / [pt] FACEWORK VIA E-MAIL: INTERAÇÃO ESTRATÉGICA NO ENSINO A DISTÂNCIAELIZABETH VARGES DE SOUZA 26 September 2013 (has links)
[pt] A educação a distância mediada pelo computador proporciona variadas
formas de interação. Os cursos oferecidos nesta modalidade diferem tanto
conceitual quanto metodologicamente no que concerne sua elaboração,
implementação e aperfeiçoamento. Porém, aparentemente, tais questões não são o
calcanhar-de-aquiles da EaD, posto que muito tem sido estudado e debatido sobre
o processo de aprender a aprender, o desenvolvimento da autonomia do aluno, o
trabalho colaborativo e o papel do professor neste novo ambiente. A
transformação realmente significativa após a inserção das tecnologias da
comunicação e da informação no cenário educacional se deu na forma de se
comunicar e de interagir, posto que foi a crescente facilidade de acesso à Internet,
juntamente com o desenvolvimento de aplicativos e diferentes ambientes de
aprendizado online, o que possibilitou novas e diversificadas formas de interação,
ampliando o leque de possibilidades de comunicação. Portanto, é a partir de
questionamentos acerca de como os processos interacionais ocorrem no ambiente
institucional online e como as pessoas, no caso desta pesquisa, os alunos,
negociam significados e constituem suas posições sociais é que trarão uma nova
perspectiva de entendimento da aprendizagem mediada pelo computador. Assim,
tendo como suporte metodológico as questões de face e do manejo da impressão
de Goffman, aliados aos pressupostos da sociolinguística interacional, como as
pistas de contextualização e o footing dos interagentes, é que procedo às análises
do conteúdo dos e-mails trocados entre alunos e mediadora, levando em
consideração que as interações devem ser compreendidas dentro das limitações
impostas pela tecnologia. Assim sendo, esta pesquisa objetivou, através de dois
tipos distintos de análise, uma formal e outra discursiva, contribuir para um
entendimento mais abrangente da utilização do e-mail tanto como um meio que possibilita atestar a dinamicidade das interações quanto compreender como
questões relacionadas à face emergem e podem exercer um papel crucial no
ensino-aprendizagem a distância. / [en] Distance education mediated by computers provides several forms of
interaction. The courses offered in this modality differ both conceptually and
methodologically in what regards its design, implementation and improvement.
However, apparently, these issues are not the Achilles heel of DE, since much has
been studied and debated about the process of learning how to learn, the
development of learner’s autonomy, collaborative work and the teachers’ role in
this new environment. The technology available for studying online kind of
imposed this paradigm shift in teaching and learning at a distance, since it would
not be viable to adapt the traditional model of knowledge transmission to a type of
education that privilege autonomy and collaboration. However, the actual
meaningful change after the introduction of the information and communication
technologies in the educational scenario occurred in the way people interact, since
it was the increasing ease of Internet access, along with the development of
different applications and online learning environments that allowed new and
diverse forms of interaction, expanding the range of communication possibilities.
Therefore, it is based on questionings about how the interactional processes occur
in institutional environments online and how people, in the case of this research,
the students, negotiate meanings and constitute their social positions that a new
perspective to the understanding of computer mediated learning will arise. Thus,
based on Goffman’s concepts of facework and impression management, along
with those of interactional sociolinguistics, as for example, the contextualization
cues and the footing of the interactors, I proceed to the analysis of the content of
the e-mails exchanged between the students and the mediator, taking into account
that such interactions must be understood within the limitations imposed by
technology. Therefore, through two different types of analysis, a formal and a discursive one, this study aimed at contributing to a broader understanding of the
use of the e-mail not only as a way that provides the possibility to attest the
dynamics of the interactions throughout a course but also as a means to
understand how issues related to face emerge and may play a crucial role in
distance teaching and learning.

Interações orais online no ensino do francês língua estrangeira: o projeto Cefradis / Online oral interactions in teaching French as a foreign language: the Cefradis projectAranda, Maria del Carmen de la Torre 25 March 2011 (has links)
Este estudo propõe-se a investigar a contribuição que práticas de interação verbal oral realizadas no contexto de uma formação online podem trazer para o aperfeiçoamento da expressão oral do estudante de francês língua estrangeira. Apoiado na metodologia da pesquisa-ação, o projeto Cefradis (Cours Pilote de Français Avancé à Distance) foi desenvolvido em 2010 junto a um grupo de estudantes do 3º ano de Letras da Universidade de São Paulo. A arquitetura de base do projeto consistiu em alternar produções orais individuais com interações online, bem como o feedback fornecido aos estudantes como forma de comentar aspectos qualitativos de sua produção textual oral. A conversação online sobre temas da atualidade apresentados desde o ponto de vista de locutores francófonos propiciou aos estudantes um uso real do francês falado em atividades comunicativas que não são habitualmente vivenciadas no cotidiano de sua formação universitária. Todas essas práticas didáticas foram possibilitadas por recursos tecnológicos de comunicação mediada por computador, de edição de áudio, registro, armazenamento e compartilhamento do material textual produzido ao longo do projeto. Destaca-se, portanto, a contribuição da mediação tecnológica para o desenvolvimento do processo de ensino e aprendizagem. No entanto, os discursos dos estudantes revelam o papel preponderante que a interação e a mediação humanas exerceram durante este processo, tanto para o fortalecimento de seus recursos pessoais de expressão oral quanto para o despertar de uma consciência linguística sobre seu modo de falar na língua estrangeira. / This study investigates how oral interaction practices carried out online, via the Cefradis Project, contribute to helping learners of French as a foreign language improve their verbal expression. Grounded in action-research methodology, the CefradisProject (Cours Pilote de Français Avancé à Distance) was developed in 2010 with a group of undergraduate students in their third year of Language and Literature at the University of São Paulo. The framework of the project consisted in alternating individual oral production activities with online interactions and incorporated giving feedback to participants to comment on qualitative aspects of their production of oral text. Scheduled online conversations about current events presented from points of view held by French-speaking people engaged the students in authentic use of spoken French in communicative activities not usually experienced by them in their daily university lives. Teaching practices such as these were made possible through the use of technological resources of computer-mediated communication, audio editing, data recording, and the storing and sharing of text material produced throughout the project. The significant role of technological mediation in the development of the teachinglearning process is therefore explored in this study. However, the feedback of participants reveals the predominant role that human interaction and human mediation play in this process, not only in the strengthening of the learners´ personal resources for verbal expression but also in the awakening of their linguistic awareness of their own ways of speaking in French.

Aprendizagem cooperativa mediada por computador / not availablePasquini, Andrea de Moura Menezes 23 January 2002 (has links)
Aprendizagem cooperativa através de comunicação mediada por computador está se tornando acessível a um grande número de pessoas e, como parte integral do ambiente do aluno interligado a grupos, é uma área de importância para pesquisa e prática em educação. A pesquisa reportada neste estudo explora e descreve os efeitos da comunicação mediada por computador, evidenciando atividades cognitivas e cooperativas. A interação não presencial foi investigada com o suporte ferramenta computacional e Groups, tendo como domínio de aplicação as disciplinas SEP 5744 - Sistemas de Apoio à Decisão e SEM 210 - Análise de Sistemas II, do curso de Engenharia de Produção Mecânica da Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos - USP. O estudo foi dirigido para métodos de pesquisas em análise qualitativa de conteúdo de comunicação, pois em aprendizagem cooperativa, interação verbal entre pares é o agente fundamental através do qual ocorre atividade cognitiva. A facilitação cognitiva interpessoal pode crescer como um elo essencial entre comportamento verbal em discussões de pares e a construção social do conhecimento. / Cooperative learning through computer mediated communication is becoming accessible to greater number of people and, as a integral part of linked student\'s environment, is an emergent area of importance for researching and practice in education. The research reported in this study explores and describes the effects of Computer Mediated Communication evidencing cognitive and cooperative activities. The not presencial interaction was investigated with the support of eGroups computational tool, having as dominity of application the SEP 5744 -Decision Support Systems and SEM 210 - Systems Analysis II courses, of Production Mechanics Engineering Program. The study was directed to research methods involving the content\'s qualitative analysis of communication, since in cooperative learning, verbal interaction among peers is the fundamental agent through which cognitive activity occurs. Interpersonal cognitive facilitation may arise as an essential link between verbal behavior in peer\'s discussions and the social construction of knowledge.

Discussões on-line: estratégias argumentativas em debates na internet / On-line discussions: argumentative strategies in debates on the internetCarvalho, Marcio Marconato de 11 April 2008 (has links)
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo a descrição e a análise do funcionamento de debates veiculados pela rede mundial de computadores. O corpus compreende três discussões coletadas na internet que abrangem gêneros discursivos distintos (a lista de discussão, o chat com convidados e o fórum eletrônico), desenvolvidas por dois provedores de grande circulação nacional: América on-line (AOL) e Universo on-line (UOL). O foco da pesquisa se concentra na observação de como interagem os internautas e quais estratégias utilizam no momento em que debatem um tópico específico, também na descrição dos três gêneros digitais selecionados. Dentro desse universo, pouco sabemos sobre o funcionamento do ato argumentativo - peça essencial no mundo da comunicação. Uma vez que a interação se processa através de um canal eletrônico e os falantes não estão diretamente em contato, o jogo argumentativo assume características específicas. Por apresentar uma condição de produção peculiar, o discurso no meio virtual prescinde, muitas vezes, de elementos não-lingüísticos - tão essenciais para influir sobre o outro, dar mais emotividade aos enunciados, para convencer e persuadir, etc. Como todo processo interacional não pode ser apartado de seu contexto específico de produção, este trabalho também investiga a rede digital, para conhecer essa mediadora dos processos de comunicação e conseqüente \"fundadora\" de diversos gêneros discursivos, os chamados gêneros digitais. / This investigation aims to describing and analysing how debates carried out by means of the worldwide computer web operate. The corpus encompasses three discussions collected at the Internet, covering different discursive genres (the discussion list, the chat with invited guests and the electronic forum), developed by two large providers used in Brazil, i.e. America On-line (AOL) and Universo On-line (UOL). Besides focusing on the description of the three digital genres selected, the research is centered on the observation of how internet users interact and which strategies are employed by them while debating a specific topic. Within this universe, little do we know of how the argumentative act - essential in the realm of communication - operates. Since interaction is processed via an electronic channel, and speakers are not actually in contact, the argumentative game takes up specific characteristics. Because it presents peculiar production conditions, the speech within the virtual media often requires non-linguistic elements - rather essential in utterances whose functions might be to influence others, show emotion, convince, persuade, etc As is the case in every interactional process, the ones described here cannot be parted from their specific production contexts, thus, this research\'s investigation of the digital network, in order to be familiar with this mediator of communication processes and consequent \"founder\" of several discursive genres - called digital genres.

CLAWS: uma ferramenta colaborativa para apoio à interação de surdos com páginas da web. / CLAWS: collaborative tool to support deaf interaction with web pages.Martins, Stefan José Oliveira 26 March 2012 (has links)
Os deficientes auditivos têm uma forma peculiar de uso das tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TICs). Como grupo de usuários, essas pessoas nem sempre são consideradas como usuários nos modelos de interação de sistemas comerciais. O objetivo desta pesquisa é conceber uma ferramenta adequada às necessidades dos surdos, que os apoie na interação com páginas da web. Para isso, estudaram-se as particularidades da comunidade surda com as TICs e as barreiras encontradas durante a interação. Com base em outras interfaces destinadas aos surdos avaliou-se a opinião de uso das mesmas pela comunidade surda e a partir disso desenvolveu-se o protótipo da ferramenta, que é um complemento aos navegadores. Essa ferramenta privilegia a autonomia do surdo, por isso é composta de recursos que poderão ser usados na medida em que o usuário necessite e ache adequado durante a sua interação. / Deaf people are seldom considered as users in interaction modeling of commercial systems. This kind of user has a peculiar way to use information and communication technologies (ICTs). The objective of this research is to build a tool based on an interaction model suitable for deaf people. We studied peculiarities of deaf community with ICT and barriers encountered during interaction. Interfaces designed for deaf people were evaluated by people from this community, and following the results of this evaluation, a web browser plug-in was conceived. This tool is composed by several resources that support deaf user needs based on interaction elements that were considered appropriate for their interaction.

Previous issue date: 2013-05-23 / Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo / Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the teenagers use interpersonal communication resources mediated for sociability purposes, having as first mean the wire line telephone, which lasted until the end of the 1990 s. In the early 21th century, with the advent of social networking, the body invisibility of the wire line telephone was supplanted by extra-visibility of digital photos posted on personal pages. These are images worked in details in order to present spectacular bidimensionalized corporeality. This is the object of this research that aims to analyze, from a semiotic point of view, these images that, far from simple capture of the anatomic-physiologic body arise, present, in fact, the Ideal I emulated in media images. The selection of the corpus of pictures focused on images of teenagers, because these are subjects who experience a peculiar biological stage, at a time when the body undergoes changes of puberty, surrendering to image editing, either it in stage of pre-production, production, or post-production. The conceptual frameworks first by understanding youth passes while class invented in the 19th century, highlighting the main Latin American theorists that study on the subject and reinforce the relevance of the media to the juvenile temporal clippings from the early 1950. Regarding the photographic images, bring to light the texts of Vilem Flusser, Roland Barthes and Lucia Santaella. By handling bodily images highlighted by digital photo, Act was important to consider the Sigmund Freud´s concept of narcissism, Jacques Lacan's mirror stage and the selfconstitution of the subject by Michel Foucault. Supported in this theoretical framework, the research followed to the empirical application. It is based on a methodology composed by a quantitative survey examined statistically, followed by two qualitative analysis: the first discusses the content of sentences written by teens about the Act of editing images, and the second presents a set of photographs of users of social networks, studied by the bias of peircian semiotics. From this research it was concluded that when adolescent girls post their selfportraits in the network, they become despots about themselves, enabling and disabling the signs that they represent in order to receive the approval of friends by the comments and by acts of "enjoy". It proves that the spectacular corporeality is predominantly visual production of the objectified subject on disposed images, ready to meet the gaze of the other / Desde meados do século XX, as adolescentes utilizam os recursos da
comunicação interpessoal mediada com fins de sociabilidade, tendo como
primeiro meio o telefone fixo, que perdurou até o final dos anos 1990. No início
do século XXI, com o advento das redes sociais, a invisibilidade corporal da
telefonia fixa foi suplantada pela extra-visibilidade das fotografias digitais
postadas em páginas pessoais. Trata-se de imagens detalhadamente trabalhadas
para apresentarem uma corporeidade espetacular bidimensionalizada. Este se
constitui no objeto de estudo desta pesquisa que tem por objetivo analisar, sob um
ponto de vista semiótico, essas imagens que, longe de advir da simples captação
do corpo anatomofisiológico, apresentam, na realidade, o Ideal de Eu emulado nas
imagens midiáticas. A seleção do corpus de fotos voltou-se para as imagens de
adolescentes, porque esses são sujeitos que vivenciam uma fase biológica
peculiar, num momento em que o corpo passa por modificações próprias da
puberdade, rendendo-se às interferências da edição de imagem, seja na fase de pré
produção, produção ou pós produção. O arcabouço conceitual passa
primeiramente pelo entendimento da juventude enquanto classe inventada no
século XIX, destacando os principais teóricos latino-americanos que se debruçam
sobre o tema e reforçam a relevância das mídias para os recortes temporais
juvenis a partir da década de 1950. No que tange às imagens fotográficas,
trazemos à luz os textos de Vilém Flusser, Roland Barthes e Lucia Santaella. Por
tratarmos de imagens corporais evidenciadas pelo ato fotográfico digital, foi
importante considerar o conceito de narcisismo, de Sigmund Freud, o estádio do
espelho de Jacques Lacan e a autoconstituição do sujeito de Michel Foucault.
Apoiados nesse referencial teórico, a pesquisa seguiu para a aplicação empírica.
Esta se baseou em uma metodologia composta de um levantamento quantitativo
analisado estatisticamente, seguido de duas análises qualitativas: a primeira
aborda o conteúdo das frases escritas pelas adolescentes a respeito do ato de
edição de imagens, a segunda apresenta um conjunto de fotografias de usuárias
das redes sociais, estudadas pelo viés da semiótica peirciana. Concluiu-se disso
que as adolescentes, ao postarem seus autorretratos na rede, tornam-se déspotas de
si, habilitando e desabilitando sua própria representação com a finalidade de
receberem a aprovação dos amigos nos comentários e nos atos de "curtir".
Comprovou-se também que a corporeidade espetacular é predominantemente a
produção visual de sujeitos objetificados em imagens alienadas, prontas para
satisfazer o olhar do outro
