Refining Use Cases and Scenarios- December 1st

The students used this workshop as an opportunity to further refine their user cases/ scenarios. While fleshing out their inspirations and reference points for these, the discussion turned towards the recent attacks in Mumbai. In this particular situation, social media sites played a unique role in reporting first-hand accounts of the situation as it unfolded (more so than ever before). This timely example was especially relevant to the La Conversazione group, whose project is structured around civic journalism and participatory media.

Guerrilla Ethnography Workshop - November 17th

These images document one of our first post-Rome workshops. After their presentations to the RAI group, the students were asked to conduct some fieldwork to further explore their concepts in a local way, one that would have been impossible to do from home. Some of them illustrated their thoughts via overlaid text while others simply let their raw footage play out, whether shot in the piazzas or elsewhere. This assignment gave the students the opportunity to experiment with the concept of narrative as well solidify a visual identity for their projects.

Adventures in Rome

After much anticipation (and preparation!), the MIT delegation flew out of Logan International Airport on November 5th, 2008. After a few stops and a relatively smooth flight, we arrived early Thursday morning...looked for a shuttle and finally made our way to the InterContinental De La Ville - Roma.

Here are some images of our sleepy crew waiting to check into their rooms...

Rethinking TV Workshop #3- Concept Generation

This workshop marked the beginning of the group concept generation phase.
After three weeks of discussions on mobile television and the future
of media, the students were divided into three groups to brainstorm and organize
their thoughts according to colorful Post-it notes. The goal was for each group
to develop a service and explain the technology that would support this service,
the mode of communication used and an appropriate business model to
implement it.

Rethinking TV Workshop #2

For our second workshop, students met in the MIT Media Lab and gave presentations on
existing technologies and emerging platforms that address topics such as participatory
journalism, open source models and user interfaces. These presentations provided a necessary
framework as we start to explore different design directions related to the future
of new media technology in the context of the Italian panorama. A selection of the projects
addressed in the workshop are included on the Rethinking the TV Experience blog.

Rethinking TV Workshop #1 - Student Introductions

Our first meeting consisted of a brief introduction of the course and a series of student introductions.
Each of the participants created PowerPoint presentations of their diverse academic backgrounds and
research interests, the content of which highlighted the multidisciplinary make-up of the workshop. See
images from our first workshop below.
