New Media Workshop

LECTURE: We will begin class with a discussion of issues related to online privacy, surveillance, censorship, and circumvention. Many resources related to this subject can be found in the Guide to Working from Mainland China.

For more resources about Internet censorship, see the OpenNet Initiative. For more about privacy and security, see Frontline Defenders Guide to Digital Security and Privacy. (These and many more resources are available here.)

LAB: In the second half of class, you will do the following:

• Each Soundslide team will embed their project into the Joomla website.
• The class will create a Google Map showing the primary locations where each Soundslide story was done.
• We will put that map on the front page of the Hong Kong Stories website.

NOTE: Your HKStories project deadlines were put back by a week, due to your instructor’s medical leave. They are listed on the class wiki and on the calendar. Please let me know if you have any questions.

HOW TO EMBED SOUNDSLIDES INTO JOOMLA:

Embed Soundslides into HKStories (Joomla):
We will use an “iFrame” plugin. Click here to see what the final result looks like.
If the URL of the soundslides project is http://web.hku.hk/~rmack/publish_to_web/ , then you need to type the following code into your edit area: {iframe height="550" border="1" frameborder="1"}http://web.hku.hk/~rmack/publish_to_web{/iframe}
So in other words, {iframe height="550" border="1" frameborder="1"}URL{/iframe}
