Participatory storyworld building for unlocking climate adaptation
Communities worldwide are dangerously unprepared for projected climate risks. • Storytelling can help reduce the socio-political barriers to climate adaptation. • We introduce climate storyworld building as a participatory, transferable method. • We co-produced place-based climate storylines using narrative downscaling. • Method is now being used to support climate adaptation in 19 communities. Worldwide, local communities are experiencing increa…
The Promise and Peril of Using Attention Economy Data for Public Research
Immersive Realities in the "Place of Flowers" and Southern Sea Country, Australia
This article explores how immersion in deep space-times of the earth, Indigenous storytelling, and virtual realities disrupt dystopian futures shaped by Western scientific perspectives on environmental change and climate events. As a Nyul Nyul sand artist, Larrakia story-keeper, physical geographer, cultural geographer, and creative transmedia producer, we reflect on our journey across First Nations lands through the immersive full-dome film The …
Development, Implementation, and Meta-Evaluation of a National Approach to Programmatic Assessment in Canadian Family Medicine Residency Training
The growing international adoption of competency-based medical education has created a desire for descriptions of innovative assessment approaches that generate appropriate and sufficient information to allow for informed, defensible decisions about learner progress. In this article, the authors provide an overview of the development and implementation of the approach to programmatic assessment in postgraduate family medicine training programs in…
MediaLab
In this article we examine the utility of video storytelling in the discipline of food chemistry in the development of media literacy for science graduates and as a radical approach to science teaching and learning where the production of a video is both a process and a product. The pedagogical programme aimed to integrate food chemistry and digital video technology using an iPhone. Students, in groups of four, prepared a four-minute video that d…
Bad actors never sleep
The self-proclaimed front page of the internet, Reddit is a many faceted site, described variously as an assemblage of online communities, a social news aggregation website and a social media site. Reddit is one of the most popular sites online both in terms of visitation and interaction. Central to Reddit’s popularity is its active community of users who contribute posts, comments and votes to subreddits resulting in a series of constantly chang…
Organizational Learning in the Public Sector
A foundational principle of organizational learning is that it is a process requiring changing short-term rules and long-term norms. As public organizations are required to accomplish more with less, agencies are seeking innovative ways to increase programmatic effectiveness and efficiency. By using the lenses of organizational culture, public-sector politics, and public performance, this research gains insight from exploring the literature on le…
The Tarob and the Sacred Oath. Liminal Spirits and Stories Creating Heterotopic Spaces in Dusun Culture
This article explores two stories told during the production of the transmedia documentary project Big Stories, Small Towns: Bongkud-Namaus in the Dusun villages of Bongkud and Namaus in Sabah, Malaysia. Both stories relate to hungry and sacred entities – an atomised, monstrous moon-eating spirit called the Tarob, and a sacred oath bound in blood, which eats anyone who breaks it. The article will introduce the Big Stories, Small Towns project, th…
Critical junctures
Since 2008, the multi-year and multi-platform Big Stories, Small Towns documentary project (bigstories.com.au) has facilitated the telling, recording, archiving and dissemination of auto/biographical narratives in Australia, Cambodia, West Papua, Malaysia and Indonesia. Through this work, a critical juncture has been identified in the mediascape where reconstruction can materialise. While a level of interconnectivity has always underpinned storyt…
Making the Most of Authentic Materials
Organising teaching materials in such a way as to maximise motivation for learning, and to do so within an effective framework, is a preoccupation familiar not only to textbook and materials writers, but to all teachers who wish to realise their full creative potential in the classroom and to engage learners actively in the learning process. There is a need to select materials which provide a challenge to the students and are relevant to the purp…
