Live Blogging- Digital Journalism's Pivotal Platform? A case study of the production, consumption, and form of Live Blogs at Guardian.co.uk
This article describes and analyses the production, consumption, and form of Live Blogs at a popular UK newspaper website and contributes to related debates in journalism studies. Qualitative research interviews with journalists and editors, a reader survey, content analysis, and web metrics were used to obtain data about production practices, product outcomes, and the consumption stage of the product lifecycle. The study finds that Live Blogs are a popular daily component of the news site, used increasingly to cover serious breaking news. Although rarely authored exclusively on location, they may utilise more original sources than traditional online hard news formats. Their frequent updates mean factual verification is cursory, but compensatory factors, including their attribution practices, contribute to a positive evaluation of their objectivity by readers. Live Blogs—with their timeliness, navigational simplicity, and bite-sized content units—suit readers’ consumption of news in the workplace. Live Blogs may increase online news readers’ interest in public-affairs content, and their inclination to participate. This study contradicts some existing scholarship on sourcing practices, content preferences, and immediacy in online news, while supporting the observation that news is increasingly consumed at work. It makes the novel suggestions that Live Blogging is uniquely suited to readers’ at-work news consumption patterns and that the format provides journalists with a means to manage the competing demands of their elite and mass publics

Measuring Emotions in the COVID-19 Real World Worry Dataset
The COVID-19 pandemic is having a dramatic impact on societies and economies
around the world. With various measures of lockdowns and social distancing in
place, it becomes important to understand emotional responses on a large scale.
In this paper, we present the first ground truth dataset of emotional responses
to COVID-19. We asked participants to indicate their emotions and express these
in text. This resulted in the Real World Worry Dataset of 5,000 texts (2,500
short + 2,500 long texts). Our analyses suggest that emotional responses
correlated with linguistic measures. Topic modeling further revealed that
people in the UK worry about their family and the economic situation.
Tweet-sized texts functioned as a call for solidarity, while longer texts shed
light on worries and concerns. Using predictive modeling approaches, we were
able to approximate the emotional responses of participants from text within
14% of their actual value. We encourage others to use the dataset and improve
how we can use automated methods to learn about emotional responses and worries
about an urgent problem.Comment: Accepted to ACL 2020 COVID-19 worksho
Lecture-Free Calculus for Science and Engineering
Plane Analytic Geometry and Calculus I (MA 16100) is a historically difficult, required course for engineering and science majors. The traditional configuration consists of 250 students meeting in a large lecture 3 times per week and twice per week in smaller recitations of size 40. Additionally, those who repeat the course often continue to encounter difficulty. A scalable re-design has been implemented to attempt to address the needs of students that are not being met in the traditional configuration by diverting resources from lecture to problem sessions and from traditional Q&A recitations to student-driven presentation/collaboration-based recitations. The students work in groups of 4 on activity sheets during the weekly problem session and instructors are available to assist at a ratio of 15:1. A complete set of lectures have been cut into 5-10 minutes tagged clips and stored in a database so that students may reference them as needed to study and complete online homework. Preliminary results indicate a strong socio-academic environment in the problem sessions and within the recitations. A comparison to the traditional sections on standardized assessments indicates the experimental section maintains or exceeds the outcomes of the traditional version. Furthermore, students may benefit in ways that contribute to their academic growth and promote long term student success but may not manifest on the high-stakes assessments in the current semester
