This is a position paper on the role of content analysis in media-rich online communities. We highlight changes in the multimedia generation and consumption process that has occurred the past decade, and find the new angles this has brought to multimedia analysis research. We first examine the content production, dissemination and consumption patterns in the recent social media studies literatu...

As the use of internet based learning has seen a significant increase over the last decade, the topic of new model, methods and tools to support eLearning have been significant over the last ten years. In this paper, a multimedia application format (MAF) for e-Learning is proposed. The eLearning MAF shall meet various requirements which enable users to facilitate search, evaluation, acquisition...

New media have made available a wide range of platforms and content choices. However, audiences cope with abundant choices by using more narrowly defined repertoires. Unfortunately, we know little of how users create repertoires across media platforms. This study uses factor analysis to identify user-defined repertoires from data obtained by following 495 users throughout an entire day. Results...

PriView provides the user with three functionalities: transparency on privacy risk, control of privacy risk, and personalized content recommendations. PriView bridges privacy theory and practice: it successfully...

On the grounds of media sharing in social networks, visualisation mash-ups and early hypertext idea of associative “trails”, the opportunity for a new system to explore and enjoy connections among mainly linear media is devised. A novel system called VERTIGO is to be crafted to tackle the current limitations in media consumption across different contexts. On the end-user side, VERTIGO would pro...

Cell-phone-only (CPO) households differ along key variables from non-CPO households, creating potential coverage biases in landline-only random-digit-dialing (RDD) surveys. Researchers have attempted to correct for this by weighting their data based on demographic differences. Previous research, however, has not examined CPO coverage biases in media-use surveys—an important oversight as cell ph...
