Digital knowledge sharing: Using video in research

Presented by Research Partnerships and Knowledge Mobilization and the UVic Faculty of Education, this knowledge mobilization series will explore the use of video in research.

Research impact through video: April 10, 10-11:30 am, MAC D116

This is the last workshop in our three part series. This interactive workshop highlights the ways in which video can be used to share research with the public, media and policy makers.

Featuring:

Mike Irvine and Maeva Gauthier will share how they use live streaming from the field to connect fascinating research topics with thousands of students at a time. Streaming from 2,000 metres below the surface off Fiji or from the Race Rocks Ecological Reserve, the audiences can watch live from their classrooms or in theatres.

• Mike is an EdTech pioneer, who endeavours to connect students to nature from sea to space through narrative and an array of digital experiences. Mike made history by successfully defending his UVic Masters in Education (Curriculum and Instruction, 2015) thesis live from underwater. His thesis defense can be seen on YouTube titled: “Beneath The Waves”. Mike has a diverse range of experiences in cinema, public speaking, remote web broadcasting and audio visual work.

• Maeva is passionate about marine ecology, coastal communities, communications, and filmmaking. Her academic background includes a UVic M.Sc. in Marine Ecology (2012). For the past decade, she's been involved in ocean outreach and education projects, including short film productions, interactive media, public speaking, magazine writing, and educational projects. For her Ph.D., she is using Participatory Video as a tool to engage Arctic youth communities on global environmental changes such as plastics in their environment and climate change.

Levi Hildebrand will highlight the power of storytelling in video to help mobilize research. Levi will be drawing from personal experience as a YouTube content creator and the founder of a production company called One Island Media.

• Levi is an honours student at UVic and a co-founder of One Island Media which shares positive environmental stories about the ideas, innovations and individuals that are making the world a better place.

Drs. Laurene Sheilds and Anne Bruce, will show two different approaches to developing videos for knowledge mobilization (KM) and share insights on potential challenges and questions that may arise in the development of KM activities within the context of an emergent qualitative design.

• Dr. Sheilds, Professor in the School of Nursing and Executive Director of the Division of Learning and Teaching Support and Innovation, is the principle investigator (PI) of two consecutive CIHR operating grants (with Dr. Anita Molzahn, Dr. Anne Bruce & Dr. Kara Schick Makaroff) exploring narratives of people (and their families) living with life-threatening and life-limiting illness.

  Dr. Sheilds current research is focused on the stories of people living with life-threatening and chronic illness with the intention to exploring how these liminal experiences affect their understandings of health, living and dying. Using a narrative approach, over the past 10 years, Dr. Sheilds and her co-investigators have explored the experiences of people and their families living with cancer, end-stage renal disease, HIV, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart failure.

• Dr. Bruce is a Professor and the Associate Director of Graduate Education in the UVic School of Nursing. Her research interests include end-of-life care, living with fatal chronic conditions, the power of storytelling in health and healing. She is an Affiliate Health Researcher with the Institute on Aging and Lifelong Health and her current research studies include: living with fatal chronic conditions.; understanding heath providers experiences with medical assistance in dying; and family bereavement following assisted deaths.
