CFM--AI and Education
by Sarina Chen 05 Apr '24

05 Apr '24

Dear Colleagues, Greetings! Below please find the CFM: *AI and Education*, for Vol. 57 of *Iowa Journal of Communication*. Thank you very much for your consideration. Sincerely, Shing-Ling Sarina Chen Dept. of Communication Studies Univ. of Northern Iowa Cedar Falls, IA 50614 USA ******************** *AI and Education* *How to use AI in teaching and learning* Artificial Intelligence (AI) includes any device utilized computer technologies to emulate or exceed human capacities. While AI was historically used by mathematicians to find patterns in huge data sets, recent developments of AI have utilized the pattern-matching capacity to generate words, images, videos, and sounds, called Generative AI (GenAI). Teaching and learning utilize language, GenAI's specialty is language. Hence, GenAI positions itself as a best teaching assistant for the teachers, and a best study aid for students. However, how to effectively utilize AI in teaching and in studying, in order to maximize the benefits that GenAI provides, and avoid the shortcomings of GenAI, have become crucial questions to be addressed among teachers and students. *Virtual Teaching Assistant* GenAI has many features that make GenAI a greeting teaching assistant. GenAI can come up with a strategy for crisis communication, or provide contingency scenario planning for organizations. GenAI could be a useful conversation partner for learning foreign languages. GenAI could generate lessons for students to critique. Given these features of GenAI, how can communication teachers restructure their courses to adapt to the use of AI in their teaching? What are best practices to weave GenAI into lessons to utilize the benefits of the technology? *Virtual Study Aid* GenAI also possesses many features to assist students in learning. GenAI could annotate long documents, make highlights in long research papers, answer questions about materials, make flashcards, and produce practice quizzes. In addition, GenAI can check grammar and help clarify sentences in writing. GenAI could also help with research assignments. *Pitfalls and Precautions* Based on how GenAI is constructed, utilizing GenAI in teaching and studying are not without pitfalls. GenAI is based on large language models which predict the next most likely word in a sequence; hence it does not adhere to presenting factual or truthful information. Hence, GenAI is likely to generate false information, called hallucination. What skills do educators and students need to have to avoid or detect hallucinations? AI generated content has been found in new sites, content farms, and product reviews. Fabricated events, medical advice, and celebrity death hoaxes are examples. What media literacy skills do students need to have to help them detect false information? Given GenAI can generate essays upon receiving textual prompts, how to transform essay writing in courses to prevent students from cheating--using GenAl to write essays for them? *Call for Manuscripts* To provide answers to these important questions regarding utilizing AI in teaching and learning,* Iowa Journal of Communication* is publishing a special issue, *AI and Education* in 2025. If interested please submit an abstract of no more than 750 words to Jeffrey Brand (Jeffrey.brand(a)uni.edu) by *May 15, 2024*. If the abstract is selected for inclusion, the final manuscript is due *November 15, 2024*. For any question about this call for manuscripts, please send your queries to Jeffrey Brand, at jeffrey.brand(a)uni.edu. Sincerely, Jeffrey Brand Guest Editor of* Iowa Journal of Communication*, Vol. 57, No. 1, 2025 Dept. of Communication and Media Univ. of Northern Iowa USA *********************

Digital Methods Summer School 2024 - Visual Methods - Call for participation
by rogers＠govcom.org 05 Apr '24

05 Apr '24

Digital Methods Summer School and Data Sprint 2024 1-12 July 2024 https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/SummerSchool2024 Media Studies, University of Amsterdam Digital Methods Summer School and Data Sprint: Call for Participation The Digital Methods Initiative (DMI) is holding its annual Summer School on 'Visual methods for digital research'. The format is that of a (social media and web) data sprint, with tutorials as well as hands-on work for telling stories with data. There is also a programme of keynote speakers. It is intended for advanced Master's students, PhD candidates and motivated scholars who would like to work on (and complete) a digital methods project in an intensive workshop setting. From platform aesthetics and data visualisation to AI hermeneutics The application of visual methods to online culture has swung between the hermeneutical tradition of interpretation to the formalisms of visualisation and, most recently, to the question of how to interpret generated images. In the interpretative tradition, platforms have visual styles that are carried forward when one posts. There may be a dominant aesthetic that then is extolled in the comments and scoring systems. For example, the term 'Instagramism' captures a 'look' or mise-en-scène associated with the platform, and how well one performs it is reflected in comment space, together with the metrics. Platforms may have preferred communicative styles and means of expression such as memes and emoji. The style is also an affordance aesthetic, where one's knowledge of platform vernacular is displayed in a post that maintains a thread or in a well chosen reaction that closes it. These posts, comments, reactions, replies, threads, and conversation stoppers are also datapoints which depending on their combination and other meta would be visualised in specific manners. Learning to visualise (and when to visualise) are central to visual methods for the study of online data and images. Collections of images may be visualised or they may be datified and then visualised. Most recently, the study of image generation by AI platforms has multiple points of departure. Computational hermeneutics, or the analysis of the histories and styles extended in computational outputs, focuses on how the visual is the product of certain algorithms, models and/or architectures. For example, in AI hermeneutics there are outputs that one may discern through the model of generation such as diffusion or 'style transfer'. The Summer School takes up questions of how to study current visual platform aesthetics and affordances, online data visualisation, image collections, datafied images as well as generative AI image outputs. The first week has as its focus visual methods for visual data and interpreting AI; among the specific focal points are large (and small) image collections. The second week highlights visual platform affordances, taking up the study of different platform types, e.g., the post-and-comment platform as well as the tweet-and-reply space with threads. Applications: Key Dates There are rolling admissions and applications considered until 30 May 2024. To apply please send a letter of motivation, your CV, a headshot photo, 100-word bio as well as a copy of your passport (details page only) to summerschool [at] digitalmethods.net. Notifications of acceptance are sent 1-2 weeks after application. Final notifications on 31 May 2024. The full program and schedule of the Summer School are available by 14 June 2024. Tuition Fees, Completion Certificates & Accommodations The fee for the Digital Methods Summer School 2024 is EUR 795, and upon completion all participants receive transcripts (worth 6 ECTS). To complete the Summer School successfully all participants must co-present the one final presentation (poster session) and co-author one final project report, evidenced by the presentation slides or poster as well as the final report(s) themselves. Final reports should appear on the DMI wiki and contain a link to the final presentation slides or poster. They are due four weeks after the end of the Summer School. There are no other attendance or completion certificates issued other than the transcripts. Payment information is sent along with the acceptance notification. Students at the University of Amsterdam do not pay fees. Members of Dutch Research Schools and alumni of the University of Amsterdam pay half fees. There are no other scholarships or discounts. The Summer School is self-catered. The venue is in the center of Amsterdam with abundant coffee houses and lunch places.

About the College and University Launched in Summer 2023, Seton Hall’s College of Human Development, Culture, and Media (CHDCM) embodies the University’s commitment to pedagogical innovation, intellectual ferment, and community engagement. Uniting scholars and students from four dynamic departments—Communication, Media, and the Arts; Education Leadership, Management, and Policy; Educational Studies; and Professional Psychology and Family Therapy—the College is the new home of cutting-edge, transdisciplinary inquiry into the stickiest problems of our time. The faculty, staff, and students of the College seek to improve the human condition by collaborating across distinct fields that uniquely complement one another, thereby preparing the next generation of dynamic leaders poised to tackle contemporary social challenges and opportunities. Expression underpins all facets of the integrated College’s portfolio — media as a form of education and artistic expression; teaching and learning as modes of creative expression; expression and expressibility as critical to counseling and therapeutic treatment; and self-expression as a vehicle of social agency. With enrollment at approximately 1,550 total students, both graduate and undergraduate, CHDCM is the second largest college at Seton Hall University, with approximately 70 full time faculty and 125 adjunct faculty. Seton Hall is located in South Orange, New Jersey, just 14 miles from New York City. The University is the oldest Catholic diocesan institution of higher education in the United States, and the Carnegie Foundation classifies it as a doctoral university.

We are especially called by our mission to serve underserved communities in and around the Archdiocese of Newark, though we also recognize the need to attend to the intersection of the local, national, and global in questions of power and access. We therefore commit to addressing systemic inequality and injustice of all kinds, and we look forward to welcoming new colleagues similarly aligned to this mission.
