The Unexpected Benefits of a Decolonized Knowledge Translation Initiative for Indigenous Mother Participants.

Western health research's approach to knowledge translation (KT) has been criticized by Indigenous scholars, leaders, and communities for its misalignment with Indigenous ways of knowing and relational approaches to sharing knowledge. Conversely, Indigenous KT is understood as 'sharing what we know about living a good life' (Kaplan-Myrth & Smylie, 2006). Whereas KT in Euro-Western science contexts focuses on closing the know-do gap implying a separation of knowledge and action, knowledge in the Indigenous context is inherently practical and based on centuries old practices including oral traditions, experiential knowledge, and cross-cultural sharing. This article describes the development of a decolonized KT strategy. This community-engaged KT initiative was developed at the suggestion of Indigenous mothers who participated in a research study in Hamilton, Canada, which examined their experiences using health care to meet the health needs of their infants. Indigenous mothers participated in three main roles related to the KT activities: sharing their story in video, participating as team members on an Advisory Board, and directing the creation of a video series and website educational resource (KT strategy). Five Indigenous mothers participated as members of the Advisory Board. The process of participating had positive impacts on the mothers, namely, empowerment, strength, 'I am not alone', and healing. These unexpected findings, which go beyond the original project purpose to create an educational resource, show the significant and important benefits for research participants, particularly those from Indigenous communities, to be involved in decolonized KT strategies.

Digital Stories with the Online Collection of the V&A for Inquiry-Based Learning

This article explores the use of digital storytelling in the classroom to frame inquiry-based learning with digital museum collections. It presents the final in a series of three interventions that were part of doctoral research that tested the DiStoMusInq framework. The intervention involved a class of 15-16-years-old students at an international school in Greece as part of their English Literature curriculum, and included eight lessons, two of which were virtual visits to the online collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, UK. The students worked in small groups to agree what questions they want to explore and used their own smartphones and laptops to look for answers in the online collection. They then collected material from the collection and/or took inspiration from the collection to create their own material, and used these to produce video stories that presented their answers. The findings suggest that inquiry-driven digital storytelling offers an effective way to leverage digital technologies in the classroom to engage students in purposeful, self-directed explorations of online museum collections. The processes of developing a digital story and inquiring the collections feed into one another, resulting in cultural heritage-inspired, historically informed creative student outputs and the development of student research skills.

Understanding How News Content Utilizes Experiential Media (AR, VR, and 360° Video) in COVID-19 Storytelling

A growing body of research indicates how experiential media (EM) technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and 360° video are diffusing widely around the world, thereby transforming media practices and the user experience. The current study looks at immersive news content production (EM stories) that seek to inform the public on how the COVID-19 virus spreads, the precautions required to protect from getting infected by the virus, and a general understanding of COVID-19 as a pandemic. Based on a list of six criteria, a total of six EM stories (two AR stories by the New York Times (NYT), two 360° video stories by National Geographic (Nat Geo), and two VR stories by Meta’s Oculus App in collaboration with other media organizations) were identified for the study. This exploratory study uses qualitative research methodology and the Experiential Media theoretical framework to understand to 1) what extent such immersive news content production utilizes the six EM qualities in COVID-19 storytelling? 2) what themes do such EM stories and the accompanying static news story reported online cover? 3) what new knowledge, if any, do such EM stories provide compared to the accompanying static news story online? The findings from the study offer a theoretical understanding of the role EM technologies play in highlighting global health crisis such as COVID-19, particularly through immersive 3D visualizations, and provides practical implications for EM content producers. Keywords: experiential media, augmented reality, virtual reality, 360° video, COVID-19, news

Television Story Angle and the Involvement on Learners with Intellectual Disability in Inclusive Education in Kenya

Purpose: The purpose of this paper was to examine the influence of television story angle and the involvement on learners with intellectual disability in inclusive education in Kenya. The paper was guided by the framing theory.
 Methodology: The study utilized the descriptive cross-sectional research design. A sample of 40 inclusive education schools, 16 Sub-County Education Officers, three television stations, 72 television programmes, three television producers and five key informants from the Kenya Association of the Intellectually Handicapped was drawn. Data was gathered through questionnaires, interview guides and code sheets. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics while thematic analysis was used to analyse qualitative data.
 Findings: The study established that while television stations have aired stories about inclusive education, the content aired seemed to portray people with disabilities as objects of pity, curiosity, evil, laughable, and burdensome. These qualities were repugnant to inclusion of learners with disabilities in education and were therefore counterproductive to inclusive education.

Abstract TP72: Advance Care Planning Engagement May Increase Among Stroke Survivors: Results From The Prepare For Your Care Trial

Introduction: Despite their high risk of mortality, recurrent stroke, and dementia, stroke survivors underutilize ACP. In a non-prespecified subgroup analysis of a randomized trial to increase ACP, we compared the efficacy of the PREPARE for Your Care (PREPARE) plus an easy-to-read advance directive (AD) to an AD alone among stroke survivors. Methods: PREPARE is an interactive digital program with easy-to-read, state-specific ADs, and video stories. Stroke survivors in the PREPARE trial were identified using the International Classification of Diseases codes. The primary outcome was new ACP documentation in the electronic medical record after 12 months; secondary outcome was self-reported ACP completion of: (1) signing official papers naming a surrogate decision maker; (2) discussion of patients’ wishes with surrogates; (3) discussion of patients’ wishes with medical providers; and (4) an AD, scored 0-4. We calculated the change from baseline to 12-month follow-up. Mixed-effects regression models were used, adjusted for health literacy (adequate or limited), baseline ACP documentation, and clustering by physician. Results: Of 986 PREPARE trial participants, 91 (9.2%) were stroke survivors and 72 had complete data. The mean age was 64 years (SD, 6.8 years), 47% were women, 74% identified as a minority race/ethnicity, 40% were Spanish-speaking, 49% had limited health literacy, and 41% had ACP before enrollment. There was a trend toward greater ACP documentation in the PREPARE-arm (table). The PREPARE-arm had significantly greater increase in completed ACP elements than the AD-only arm. Discussion: The PREPARE program shows promise to engage ethnically diverse stroke survivors in ACP and should be studied further. Addition of stroke-specific content and engagement of acute stroke survivors in adaptations may increase the impact of the program.

Building a collaborative, university-based science-in-action video storytelling model that translates science for public engagement and increases scientists' relatability

Collaborating scientists and storytellers successfully built a university-based science-in-action video storytelling model to test the research question: Can university scientists increase their relatability and public engagement through science-in-action video storytelling? Developed over 14 years, this science storytelling model produced more than a dozen high-visibility narratives that translated science to the public and featured scientists, primarily environmental and climate scientists, who are described in audience surveys as relatable people. This collaborative model, based on long-term trusting partnerships between scientists and video storytellers, documented scientists as they conducted their research and together created narratives intended to humanize scientists as authentic people on journeys of discovery. Unlike traditional documentary filmmaking or journalism, the participatory nature of this translational science model involved scientists in the shared making of narratives to ensure the accuracy of the story's science content. Twelve science and research video story products have reached broad audiences through a variety of venues including television and online streaming platforms such as Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), Netflix, PIVOT TV, iTunes, and Kanopy. With a reach of over 180 million potential public audience viewers, we have demonstrated the effectiveness of this model to produce science and environmental narratives that appeal to the public. Results from post-screening surveys with public, high school, and undergraduate audiences showed perceptions of scientists as relatable. Our data includes feedback from undergraduate and high school students who participated in the video storytelling processes and reported increased relatability to both scientists and science. In 2022, we surveyed undergraduate students using a method that differentiated scientists' potential relatable qualities with scientists' passion for their work, and the scientists' motivation to help others, consistently associated with relatability. The value of this model to scientists is offered throughout this paper as two of our authors are biological scientists who were featured in our original science-in-action videos. Additionally, this model provides a time-saving method for scientists to communicate their research. We propose that translational science stories created using this model may provide audiences with opportunities to vicariously experience scientists' day-to-day choices and challenges and thus may evoke audiences' ability to relate to, and trust in, science.

Students work on portrait TV stories in the context of European values

The article discusses the specifics of students’ work on portrait stories in practical and laboratory classes in TV journalism. The study of the peculiarities of creating materials in the stated genre is considered in the context of European integration processes within the media and education. The authors relied on theoretical research by scholars who focused on analyzing portrait interviews and television stories. The purpose of the study was to outline the technologies for creating one’s own media product in the context of European values, including respect for human dignity, freedom, as well as democracy. The scientific problem is considered in two dimensions. Firstly, future TV journalists themselves are guided by the values outlined above. Secondly, the characters in the TV stories «work» to strengthen and implement values by reflecting on topics from their personal and public lives. One of the authors’ tasks was to demonstrate a two-sided media production approach. Another task is to highlight the technologies of creating a portrait story in view of the challenges that require adaptation and reconsideration of the experience of the Ukrainian school of TV journalism. An important point in mastering the topic is to analyze the achievements of media professionals since the 1990s. A critical analysis of samples of portrait interviews and TV stories from different periods helps to comprehend the evolution of the genres. However, the value framework of media content during this period has been humanism. Therefore, it is primarily about direct articulation and focus on the values that unite the European community. Implementing the educational potential of television, students find and show heroes with whom the viewer already shares values or discovers new horizons in their worldview. The cooperation of students and teachers in its multi-stage nature covers the entire process of creating a portrait TV story, which is outlined in the article.

Step by Step: A Gradual Approach for Dense Video Captioning

Dense video captioning aims to localize and describe events for storytelling in untrimmed videos. It is a conceptually very challenging task that requires concise, relevant, and coherent captioning based on high-quality event localization. Unlike simple temporal action localization tasks without overlapping events, dense video captioning requires detecting multiple/overlapping regions in order to branch out the video story. Most existing methods generate numerous candidate event proposals and then eliminate duplicate ones using a event proposal selection algorithm (e.g., non-maximum suppression) or generate event proposals directly through box prediction and binary classification mechanisms, similar to object detection tasks. Despite these efforts, the aforementioned approaches tend to fail to localize overlapping events into different stories, hindering high-quality captioning. In this paper, we propose SBS, a dense video captioning framework with a gradual approach that addresses the challenge of localizing overlapping events and eventually constructs high-quality captioning. SBS accurately estimates the number of explicit events for each video snippet and then detects the boundaries context/activities, which are the details for generating the event proposals. Based on both the number of events and boundaries, SBS generates the event proposals. SBS encodes the context of the event sequence and finally generates sentences describing the event proposals. Our framework is fairly effective in localizing multiple/overlapping events, thus experimental results show the state-of-the-art performance compared to the existing methods.

ENHANCING RURAL STUDENTS’ SPEAKING SKILLS THROUGH DIGITAL STORY VIDEO PRODUCTION AS MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGY-ASSISTED PROJECT-BASED LEARNING: CONCEPTUAL PAPER

Despite English Language is taught as a subject in the Malaysian primary schools, the language however is often used only during English class and not practiced because there is no call for its use outside the classroom. Based on the perspective of teacher as a researcher, the problem occurred due to the lack of exposure and usage of English Language particularly in the rural area and communities which indirectly affected student’s motivation and proficiency in communicating in the language because they have less opportunity to use the target language. Therefore, the researcher proposes a strategy to enhance students’ speaking skills through a production of a digital story video project as a consequence of the application of technology and multimedia in a project-based learning task.

Sanga Tamil in Visual Media

Media has the power to make huge changes in society. People trust the media to the extent that they define food, clothing, culture, lifestyle through the media and especially the power of visual media such as film, television, advertisements, and the Internet which cannot be explained in words plays a major role in people’s day-to-day life. Today media rules the whole world and it also led to the formation and overthrow of regimes in many countries. Through media even the opinion of a common man in a corner of the world is spread to all. When we look into telecasted television stories we can come to know that there are many story treasures that are poured in Tamil and English literature. It is a real fact that if we telecast the story of Sangam literary works in to Tamil cinema, the quality of Tamil cinema will be more refined than that of world cinema and it will become stronger.

A National Communication Effort Addressing Maternal Mortality in the United States: Implementation of the Hear Her Campaign.

More than 700 women die each year in the United States from complications related to pregnancy, and considerable racial and ethnic disparities continue to exist. Recognizing the urgent maternal warning signs of pregnancy-related complications, getting an accurate and timely diagnosis and quality care can save lives. In August 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Division of Reproductive Health launched a national communication campaign called "Hear Her" to raise awareness of urgent maternal warning signs during pregnancy and in the year after pregnancy and improve communication between pregnant or postpartum people and their support systems and health care providers. Storytelling is a central strategy to the campaign, which features video stories of women's experiences with pregnancy-related conditions to bring voices to the statistics and to help motivate action. These stories and additional campaign resources are disseminated through a website, digital media, organic (free) and paid social media, earned media, public service announcement distribution, and partners, with increased outreach to disproportionately affected communities. Partners in maternal and child health played an important role from campaign development to outreach and message dissemination. In the first year of the campaign, there were >390,000 unique visitors to the Hear Her website and 180 million impressions (number of times that content was displayed to a user) from digital and social media. Digital media allowed the campaign to reach priority audiences at a time when news and social media had a number of other urgent public health messages related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In memory of Professor Jan Dewing

Five members of the Post-doctoral International Community of Practice (a subgroup of the Person-centred Practice Research International Community of Practice, of which Jan was formerly the director) came together to agree a process through which we could co-create a poem in memory of Jan. Each of us had developed a relationship with Jan through our doctoral studies, but also through working with her in our organisations and through this journal. These relationships with Jan were unique to each individual but significant for us all. Individually, we each selected Evoke cards (evokecards.com) that spoke to us about our memories and relationship with Jan. Using the cards, we then recorded a video story, sharing our cards and why we had chosen them. We uploaded the stories to an online database so they could be viewed by us all. While looking at the pictures and listening to the stories, we made notes about what was significant for us within the stories. Subsequently, we met virtually to synthesise the collective themes.

In her own words: a phenomenological analysis of stories told by female service members and veterans after traumatic brain injury

Purpose Given the majority of Service Members and Veterans (SMV) who have sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) are male, the female experience with TBI has not been captured in the general understanding of TBI. To improve understanding of the experience of female SMV after TBI utilizing a qualitative phenomenological approach on stories as told by female SMV. Materials and methods Ten female SMV participated in storytelling workshops and created video stories documenting their personal experience with TBI. Workshops were hosted by the VA Palo Alto Health Care System Polytrauma System of Care (VAPAHCS PSC). A grounded thematic analysis was conducted on the video stories. Results Three common content themes emerged from all the stories: (1) negative psychological and emotional impacts of TBI, (2) acceptance and healing process associated with recovery, and (3) military contexts. Negative psychological and emotional impacts included intrapersonal impacts such as negative emotions, suicidal ideation, and dealing with cognitive and physical challenges, and interpersonal impacts in relationships and loss of independence. Notably, all the stories acknowledged an acceptance and healing process, characterized by several subthemes including motivational factors, TBI education, spirituality, and advocacy work. Lastly, each story mentioned military context, highlighting the unique experience within this population. Conclusions This phenomenological examination adds evidence-based understanding to the experience after TBI among female SMV. Each story uncovered nuanced and multifaceted issues that women experience in their TBI recovery. Our findings provide context to guide future intervention on the care, support, and TBI recovery for the female SMV population.

Do Voices Really Make a Difference? Investigating the Value of Local Video Narratives in Risk Perceptions and Attitudes Towards Sea-Level Rise

Purpose: The authors present the results of an empirical study investigating strategies for localizing risk messaging pertaining to sea-level rise (SLR) and flooding. We argue that continued testing is necessary to help bolster arguments about the value of localization design practices and that technical communication as a field is positioned well to lead the charge in such testing.<br/> Method: The authors conducted a mixed methods research study to discover whether video stories from local residents change user perceptions or concern about SLR as a risk. More than 100 survey responses were collected to track any relation between concern and understanding and modality of storytelling, and focus groups were led with 13 survey respondents to add a deeper understanding of effective strategies for localization.<br/> Results: The data show that video and textual storytelling do not differ as much as expected in the context of decision-support tools for SLR.<br/> Conclusion: Although video narratives for localization did not affect user perception or concern about SLR more strongly than text quotes did, participants felt that the localization efforts were compelling. Participants suggested ways in which both video and textual narratives might be more effectively used to support audiences' understanding of SLR. As a result of their suggestions, we note future research topics and testing methods to explore risk localization best practices.

What do users care about? Research on user behavior of mobile interactive video advertising

Mobile interactive video advertising is a relatively new type of media. A combination of interactivity and narrative is used to tell the video story to the audience. This study studied in three steps on mobile interactive video advertising to determine the design basis that should be paid attention to. Firstly, the research framework is proposed through expert interview and qualitative coding of the interview text. Secondly, research samples are made through surveys and conference discussions. The samples were designed into 30 types containing various interactive narrative and involvement. Finally, the qualitative results are verified in a quantitative way. The results show that in order to improve the audience's purchase intention, more attention should be paid to interactive narrative, subjective video quality assessment, immersion, satisfaction, and product involvement.

스토리 영상 콘텐츠 분석을 위한 장면 그래프 생성 모델 기반의 자동 온톨로지 구축 프레임워크

In this paper, we propose an extended ontology automatic construction framework based on multiple deep learning models as part of an effective analysis of story video content. Semi-automatic techniques using image processing techniques have been the mainstream for the existing ontology construction methods for moving pictures, but there is a problem that human intervention is required and the accuracy is low due to the limitations of image processing techniques. To overcome this, in this paper, we propose an auto mated method based on the deep learning scene graph generation technique. In particular, in the case of video content with a story, the relationship between characters is a very important factor in understanding the scene, so deep learning-based object relationship creation model, character identification model, and important area caption generation model are applied to extract objects and recognize their relationships. And design a framework that automatically builds a domain ontology dependent on the story through procedural fusion between each model and module function. In addition, the proposed framework suggests a method for efficiently processing system requirements and system resources through meta control in the condition that requires simultaneous operation of multiple deep learning models to analyze story video content. Through this, the proposed framework effectively identifies critical region captions and object relationships in a scene in story-telling video content, and executes three types of models simultaneously. Finally, we conduct an experiment to automatically build an ontology by applying the proposed framework to specific video content, and check the effectiveness of the proposed framework.

Effective English Learning and Character Education for Young Learners through Animated Video of Indonesian Folklore

The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of learning English for junior high school students on local Indonesian literature in English, listening and understanding the content of English language skills based on the popular Indonesian folktale "Timun Emas" uploaded on Andree Rivan Kurniawan's YouTube channel. This study was conducted at State Junior High School (SMP) of 5 Rakit Kulim from August to October 2021 for 20 of seventh grade junior high school students and 26 of the eighth grade students. Based on the results of this study, the values of character education implied in the Timun Mas video story were religious, honest, creative, independent, curious, communicative, hardworking, peace-loving, socially caring, and responsible. The results of this research on the effectiveness of YouTube's animated video learning media reveal that students maintain a positive attitude about learning English through animated videos. Students stated that animated films not only help them improve their listening and speaking skills, but also aid them in learning English vocabulary and sentence structure. This study's findings also imply that animated movies provide junior high school English teachers with extensive English vocabulary and sentence structures, as well as boost learning through engaging activities in English teaching.

The identity dilemmas of Early Career Teachers from under-represented groups in the UK

ABSTRACT Uncontested narratives of normality in primary teacher training are located and demonstrated in heteronormativity, whiteness, able-bodiedness and femininity. Early-Career Teachers who know and feel they lie outside of these are positioned uneasily as they try to locate spaces to express their identities and enable self-agency. This article explores how beginning teachers from under-represented groups come to understand themselves and others during the process of becoming a primary teacher. Through qualitative analysis of video stories of 12 novice primary teachers, we identified salient themes including dilemmas around identity invisibility/hypervisibility and lack of agency to (re)construct their identities. Our findings have implications for teacher educators and school leaders to provide new teachers opportunities to explore their identity dilemmas alongside their peers in safe spaces. Developing provision that builds beginning teachers’ peer networks alongside their understanding of self may not only offer an outlet for self-agency but impact on teacher retention from those located in under-represented groups.

Nishtam Niwiipitan (My First Teeth): Oral Health Digital Stories from Urban Indigenous Parents.

To develop oral health-related digital story videos through interviews with Indigenous parents who shared their experiences in dealing with early childhood caries (ECC) in their children. Indigenous parents in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, were recruited from community programs from October to December 2019 as part of the Nishtam Niwiipitan (My First Teeth), a community-based participatory research study that builds on an ECC intervention. A twofold qualitative narrative approach to data collection was used: 1) interviewing participants and creating digital stories and 2) taking part in the postfilming feedback interviews. Participants were interviewed via video in a semistructured format sharing their experiences and attitudes about caring for children with ECC and the challenges faced seeking dental care for the disease. The stories were drawn from parents in 3 predetermined groups: those with 1) children who had undergone dental surgery under general anesthesia, 2) children who had received silver diamine fluoride as an alternative to surgery to manage ECC, and 3) caries-free children. Prior to editing, the narrated stories were transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically. The postfilming interview transcripts were also analyzed and coded for key themes. Six parents and 1 grandparent, all of whom self-identified as Indigenous (First Nations or Métis) and cared for children aged <6 y, created the digital stories. Three key themes emerged from the postfilming interviews: ability to share, ability to help, and ability to change. Participants felt important, optimistic, and motivated throughout the process of making their digital stories. Digital storytelling offered First Nations and Métis parents a unique opportunity to share their experiences caring for children with ECC with the wider public. These videos can be incorporated into oral health promotion and ECC intervention programs as a culturally appropriate method for reaching Indigenous families. The use and development of digital storytelling for oral health promotion have great potential for spreading awareness and sharing knowledge with Indigenous parents/caregivers about their children's oral health and care practices. This health promotion tool is congruent with Indigenous ways of knowing, as Indigenous communities have a long tradition of oral history. The videos produced for this study will assist with oral health promotion efforts to address the high rates of early childhood caries in Indigenous communities in Canada.
