Yesterday, Terese Bird and I presented some of the preliminary findings from the Screencasts in Media Studies project at a workshop held as part of the University of Leicester’s Teaching Focus Week. Thanks to Alex Moseley for the invite and to the delegates for what was an enjoyable session.
The slides from the workshop can be found below:
I also have some spare handouts from the workshop (see below):

The University of Leicester has issued a press release to mark the start of the two tasks that will be completed here at the University. I will be working with Dima Atanasova, a newly appointed Research Associate, on these projects with an anticipated completion date in December 2015. More details on these tasks can be found here:
Last week the University held its annual teaching and learning conference- the Screencasts in Media Studies project was represented in the poster competition.

Other speakers at the event included Professor Clive Norris (Sheffield), Professor Kirstie Ball (Open University), Dr Andrew McStay (Bangor) and Dr Vian Bakir (Bangor). Thanks to John Steele and Jo Bates for the invitation and for organising an extremely interesting day – hopefully more to come!
I am currently a Work Package leader for a project funded by the EU FP7 programme. The project involves 11 partners from across Europe and focuses on the cascading effects that emerge from crisis situations.
1) Leicester work packages
My two tasks will focus on the communication strategies adopted by incident managers and first responders, with a specific emphasis on how social media is deployed in such situations to provide accurate, real-time information to the public. I look forward to working with Xavier Criel and Safety Centre Europe on this project, which is due to finish in December 2015. Further information on the Leicester-based Research Associate who will assist me on the project will be published in a press release next month.
2) CascEff Website launched
Further information on CascEff can be found on the project website:
3) CascEff on Twitter
CascEff is now on Twitter – please follow the official Twitter account for updates on the project.
About the Project:
CascEff – “Modelling of dependencies and cascading effects for emergency management in crisis situations” is performed and funded under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Union (SEC-2013.4.1-2).
I was interviewed by BBC journalist Sally Nancarrow for an article on how Surrey Police had used Twitter to build a case against two suspected armed robbers.

I have created an infographic that summarises the key steps for those new to recording screencasts:

I have created an infographic summarising the key findings from my first University of Leicester Teaching Enhancement Fund project (Reilly, 2012), which focused on blended learning approaches towards postgraduate dissertation student supervision.
