multimedia writing flash platforms accessibility

shared by Jolene Fisher on 09 Apr 14 - No Cached

Jolene Fisher on 09 Apr 14

I was looking back at this (really interesting) multimedia writing work by Anne Wysocki and noticed how many of the pieces required special players and ample download time/space - Flash Player, Shockwave Player, 1.5 MB of download space - which got me thinking about platform/storage restrictions and digital accessibility. In many instances, a researcher may need not only specific digital skills/knowledge, but also specific platforms, players, software, memory space, etc. to conduct her work. And as players, platforms, software, etc. are upgraded, older digital texts may become less accessible. On that note, I have been taking screen shots of all of the scenes in the Facebook game I'm currently studying. Why? One reason is so I can put these screen shots into a presentation, but the more pressing reason is that another game I'm really interested in looking at (Food Force, a social media game from 2005 - so ancient, right?) is no longer accessible. In its place is a Facebook page with a big bandaged thumb and a "Sorry! This page has been removed." message. An ethnography conducted in a digital space, it seems, requires just as much "recording" as one in an offline space.

I think it is a great question to ask where will all the digital information go once it becomes out of date> I was working with a program called Scalar last term (a very useful tool) which allows you to show information in different ways. It was built for use in the Digital Humanities. One of its fatal flaws, in my opinion, is that it relies primarily on links to information, images, and video out in cyber space. If you build a project around this, there is no guarantee that the information will be available for any length of time and then what do you do? I think this is an issue more and more as new software updates and the old information can either not be found or is no longer accessible.

The life and preservation of the digital world is a huge question, and one that I don't think enough people are considering. I see more and more of my friends taking all their photos with smartphones and loading them to Instagram or Facebook, or worse never moving them beyond their phones. I wonder what photos will have survived in 20 years when their children are looking to make wedding or anniversary slide shows, or simply becoming interested in their own pasts. There are no hard copies of these images, and while hard copies are vulnerable, so are digital copies for a number of reasons.

great points in this discussion, especially around issues of "access"...which range from having the "right" tech to get into a site to ADA regulations/requirements. Also, preservation is a complicated facet of access and one worth discussing seriously in this course as we think about digital data.

I really have liked using this tool with the minimal experience I've had with it thus far. I would really like to learn how to do the split screen and also learn this point they noted: Option to record both sides sound, local sound only and remote sound only. - See more at: http://www.evaer.com/#sthash.NjDc1JRN.dpuf

This looks like a very useful and user-friendly application. I have always found video interviews difficult to deal with in terms of capturing/transcribing so many thanks for passing this along. I had trouble downloading the trial version on my MacBook Pro for some reason. Looking for troubleshooting info.

I also found this one - appears to be more Mac specific: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/callrecorder/

This is a great tool for constructing metadata for your coding that can be used by research other than your own!

Lauren Nicoll, a Ph.D. student in sociology at Northeastern University, said she had her research project open when Dedoose’s services crashed. As she attempted to assign a code to an interview quote, the screen flashed an error message. She closed the browser, logged back in, and then saw the project had vanished.
