GUIDELINES FOR THE GLOBAL ISSUE REPORTING

Reminders to all the student groups:

1. Be ready for your global issue reporting. Make sure you explain what the issue is all about. You have the option to provide a history or data/statistics of the gravity of this problem. Provide reliable web sources. Provide objective insights and different sides of the issue.

2. English is the language for the presentation.

3. Discuss how the social media is used positively or negatively in addressing the problems. Note that social media may be viewed as it has made impact in the past, or how it is able to influence people at present or how it can be used to solve the problem.

4. Everyone should be in a smart casual attire. No shorts, no rubber shoes, no collarless shirts.

5. Confine your presentations to at most 15 minutes. Good luck.

SOC-MED GLE2011 SHORT VIDEO

Learning comes in different forms. It has its innate simplicity. But it may also include the multitudes of sophistication from savoir-faire things to deep, mental discernment. And so learning can be expressed in various forms. Thanks to new media that video has become an accessible medium and tool of communication of our new century learners.

So we created the “Great Learning Experience” Project. And what a better way to extrude creativity but through a limited 120seconds video. While we can say hello in less than 60seconds and tell a product idea in about 180seconds, why not broadcast a great learning story in 120seconds!

**The GLE2011 project is a deliberate attempt to challenge learners to tell or retell their wonderful learning experiences and stories in two minutes or less.
The GLE project is soliciting stories, experiences, opinions and ideas on what learning is, how a learner learns and what is a good learning experience captured in at the most, two-minute video. The learning experience may have taken place in a  formal surrounding of the  university or any informal setting including digital environment and social spaces.
The GLE Project encourages submission from individual students and/or group of learners.

Some Mechanics:
1. The 2-minute GLE video must be registered and licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Usage. - http://creativecommons.org/
2. The 2-minute GLE video is to be uploaded in Youtube with the tags: GLE2011,  DLSU or UW, and the branch such as Manila, Trollhattan, Lipa, Bacolod, Iligan or Misamis. The GLE video will have to use English as the communication language. Include the tag #SOCMED.
2. Participants may submit a video individually or collectively done, independently or under the auspices  of their class teacher or facilitator, with the intention of participating in this study.
3. All entries must have a description or explanation to have a clearer communication of what the video is all about. Post the description and Youtube link in this page, http://beyonddclassroomwalls.wordpress.com/gle2011-entries/ .
